Of course with tax season coming up, I'm looking for significant mods for my L99 2SS That will improve my drag times and performance. Any known and trusted parts will be helpful and if you could please mention the website for the part. TIA

Are you stock now???

Moto-Mojo · 01-14-2016, 08:53 AM

Can you 'bolt-on' anything better than a supercharger and get 100HP+? That'd be my recommendation. It would certainly fall into the "significant" category.

Convert L99 to LS3, more radical cam, headers, tune, 3.70 rear. That's a good start. More importantly is who will do the work. Do your homework on them.

Moto-Mojo · 01-14-2016, 09:10 AM

Better yet, get a radical L99 VVT cam and enjoy the torque throughout the RPM range. You'll have to make some valvetrain mods like non-AFM lifters but there is at least one site saying with that and headers gets you near 100HP gains.

And yes, where you get it and who puts it in is paramount.

If you're running stock and don't want to go hog wild, get the car breathing easier. Go with long tube headers and a cold air intake with ported throttle body. If you've already modded those items, then go with the above mentioned mods.

Even though I did the ls3 conversion, I would keep the VVT. Look at the fast list. Last time I checked it out the top vehicles kept their VVT.

Not sure what your current set up is, but diffently get yourself some long tubes and a tune. May want to look at different tires, torque converter, and some suspension.
