SLP/increase HP Question
Is the SLP performance pac. for 400 HP a good investment? Or are there other ways to increase HP for a stock 2000 Z28 that will be better than the SLP package?

Not worth it IMO. Dont need the MAF or the rockers arms and the headers hang down too low and are a bitch to install (no F-Body LTs are a picnic to install but the SLPs have got to be the worst). I have Pacesetter LTs and OR Y on my car now and love them. They tuck up nicely, install pretty easily and dont cost an arm and a leg. If you're only looking for 400hp at the crank, basic bolt-ons will get you pretty close, throw and LS6 intake into the mix and you're there. Plus, 4th gen LS1s were underrated from the factory anyway, dont need a whole lot to hit the 400hp mark.

I don't like loud mouth exhaust, it's way too loud. Doubt they still sell it, but SLP Center Mount Exhaust will always be my favorite sound for an LS1.

I agree, Kooks and SW are probably the best headers out there, but you're gonna pay for it. But if you have the cash you might as well do it right the first time.

not for that price,
go with a set of coated pacesetter LTs with ORY from www.herronperformance.com get a head/cam setup from Advanced Induction, keep your stock MAF (aftermarket ones are a pain to tune with) the loudmouth catback is nice tho. but you can get 400rwhp a lot cheaper than that.

Not worth the money imo. You can getting just as much hp for cheaper the ways the guys said above.
They don't make and sell the CME anymore. You can find used ones over on ls1tech and ebay but they are pricey. I love my CME, but idk if its the best sound for an LS1, its a little quiet even with my headers. Definately the best looking exhaust though.

serious overkill. just that intake wont net you enough power. (tho for the money spent on it, you would think it would) Quote:
call these guys. http://advancedinduction.com/AiProductsGMLS1.html tell them how much power you want and what mods you have/plan on doing and they'll hook you up.
