I wanted to see what everyone thought...

If you had a clean slate, completely stock '02 SS SLP what would you do in the way of performance modifications.

no NOS... and stayin N/A for now...

 

So you wouldnt even do a charger?

 

mods in this order

lid
headers/exhaust
LCA's and reloc brackets
Drag radials
optional shocks struts
cam/valvetrain upgrade
12bolt or 9" rear, go for 9 if u have the money with 4.10 gears
heads (either port stock, port 243, or buy aftermarket)
possible fuel upgrades including injectors depending on ur head choice, but definitly fuel pump.

 

prob at some point, but not for now...

 

Focus on better air in and out of the engine first...

Do the SLP FlowPac first -- easiest first steps...

Next I would do Headers, and Cat-back if you don't already have say the Dual Dual SLP setup...

Then the sky is the limit...

 

You might as well do headers and catback at the same time. kill two birds with one stone. IMO SLP is kinda overrated.

 

if ur going to go FI, to make it worth ur while u need a complete motor build, otherwise u can hit the same numbers NA. these motors are too high compression.

if i had oodles of money id do what some guys on tech have done and do a low compression lsx block with a single front mount turbo system. thats gotta be sick

 

I completely agree with this, except I'd make only one change...Save up and do heads and cam/valve train all at the same time, a cam swap will be much easier if you have the heads off anyway.

 

i dont know if i agree with that. i did my cam without pulling the intake or anything, so id have to tak off EVERYTHING, rails wiring, manifold, all that crap to get to the heads, and then take them off.

im going to do heads when i do the ls6 intake, because since i got it half off anyways, i might as well put some new heads on while im at it, but that could be awhile [&:]

 

im doing headers and cam on my 99 SS...so does that mean i have to upgrade my valvetrain too?
