L99 Build plans?
I've been pretty set on doing the LSA conversion from ADM up until the past few weeks where I've began to start throwing around some ideas of going NA with a shot of n20. I'm looking for advice from guys that have done these builds to maximize the power with out going into the bottom end.
1 7/8 TSP Headers (installed) Intake (Based on reviews it's between vararam and roto) Ported Intake manifold (will stock suffice?) Ported throttle body (will stock suffice?) Underdrive Pulley (Texas Speed?) GPI cam kit deleting dod but keeping vvt. I'm also tossing the idea of a nitrous outlet plate kit for a 100 shot on a progressive controller. Are there any parts that I'm cheaping out on that should be replaced with better items? I know could take it a step further and do heads of port these but I'd rather not cross that bridge yet. |

If you've reviewed my build thread, you'll see what I did with my L99. I LOVE the ADM SC kit ;o). You have so many options so it is best to go with what you think you'll want to have in the future. You can do things in stages, but if you save up and do it one time, you'll be better off. Don't neglect the suspension, you'll need it with performance mods!
I had issues with my Texas speed ud, ask Ryan from GPI (and mine was not the first one). Texas Speed never got back to me as to 'why' it happened. ATI is a better choice as it is rebuildable... -Don

Don,
I've read your build thread multiple times. Your car is beautiful. I will definitely look into the Texas speed UD issue. I know ATI is top of the line but didn't know if it performed as well as others but I know the durability is beyond superb of their products. Suspension and drive train are the own subjects. They need the same type thread as this one. |

Thanks!
Yep, ATI is awesome. When I did the SC, Ryan from GPI took my ATI, so that should mean something... When I looked at all my options, the ADM kit was it for me! Power, parts availability, etc played a role. On a side note, I'm almost done with the install guide for ADM, hope to have in real soon... -Don

I was heavily advised to replace the lifters in a L99 at some point when going with higher HP.
