Which Performance Option Should I Get?

I’m planning to upgrade my 1LE with a Chevy Performance option. Which of these two would you buy?

Don't know what mods you might have done in the last couple of years (since the point-by's at LS video), or if your wheel/tire package has "grown" any, but I'm always going to suggest improving the chassis before adding much power.

Norm,

It’s nice to hear from you. I’ve been off the forum for a while so it’s good to see you here again.

My functional mods (not aesthetic stuff) has been:

1. CAI
2. Shorty Headers (removed the mid pipes)
3. Tune (JRE)
4. Six piston caliper brakes / ZL1 rotors (brembo pads)
5. Slightly wider tire, but not much. Pirelli Trofeo R's (295/35/20) on CCW SP16R wheels.
6. Slight camber alignment for quicker turn in but still street drivable

Which two new Chevy performance options are you talking about? I didn't see any listed...

Mark! ... this was a poll. If you're on mobile I think the poll may not work. Do you still have your 1LE?

From above:

Which performance option should I add to my ‘13 1LE?
[ ] 23464729: Z/28 Suspension Kit (w/DSSV dampeners)
[ ] 19301990: LS3 Power Upgrade Kit (w/LS7 cam and assembled heads)

Tough Choice
Both will be fun and an improvement.
If you mostly track the car, go with the suspension upgrade.

I daily mine, so i'd go with the power adder over the Z28 suspension. The added stiffness would wear on me as a daily.


EDIT: I voted for the suspension, trying to myself in your shoes............
