mods $1300

[cb4]

I have $1300 to put into my car. What is your opinion on what I should do. I was thinking CIA headers and a 3" i/out Catco, and LSD.

This is what I have so far.
Whisper lid, Slp CAI, K&N, Borla Catback, HPP3,
Laptop w/ autotap.

Dont waste your time with headers. Personally I would save up a couple hundred more and get the Supersixmotorsports power pack. Heads, cam, intake manifolds.

Get headers, they are great, they dropped .5 on my LT1, and while you are at it get a flowtech cut-out, that dropped another .2 ET, thats about 600 right there, and I was unaware they made heads/cam for the V6 but get that to afterwards then you will be real quick, or just get a NOS set-up...Another thing if you have an Auto, a High stall converter and some Drag Radials, Nitto or BFG it doesn't matter, with all that you can drop about a full second in ET, possibly more, maybe some rear end gears to, 3.73's if you have an auto like I think you do.

lsd, remove maf screen(on 98+ f-bodies), headers, 3" in/out high-flow cat., 1LE aluminum driveshaft. lsd for traction, remove maf screen for more hp/tq and throttle response, headers for more hp/tq and throttle response, same w/ cat, and driveshaft for more hp to the wheels, less weight, and quicker revs.

Don't get headers, the existing manifolds are fine.

Catback
Induction
Gear

or

save up and get the six pack; intake, heads and cam...

Headers are a great mod on a LT1, but do nothing to the V6. This is what I would do.

3.73s, LSD, and torque converter(Yank Super Thruster or 3200 Vigilantee). You'll need nittos for that combo and lower control arms.

How can headers be worthless on a V6?

5hp for $500 plus install. On a NA engine they are not worth it.

5hp - plus lower engine bay temps, easier spark plug changing for some people, and the best flowing exhaust possible...

Without headers I dont see how you'll ever make full use of heads, cam, or a blower.

I don't think you're reading what I'm typing. I said NA engine. He doesn't have a blower. He doesn't even have heads or a cam. I was talking about 5hp not temps or plugs. I changed mine just fine last time with manifolds. I'm not going to pay $500 so I can change them a little faster. That's ridiculous. He can almost get a converter for that money. 5/10s or 0.5/10s. That's a tough decision.

yea...I'd say don't worry about the headers. If you really wanted to, I'd say just pick up some tubular manifolds that go on the new Camaro V6. That would be fine. I'd get the heads, 3angle valve job and cam from supersixmotorsports. The intake manifold can be p&p yourself. Also, a LSD with gears is a must.

Not sure if you have a automatic, but if you do, I would look into getting a torque converter also.

get headers, but not the CIA ones...pacesetter is coming out with some for the 3.8's for only what...200 bucks?
