The Rod Mod intake from GPI is good start with a Z28 CAI most say no but it does make a difference and the fit an finish is awesome. Figure out what the purpose will be road race, drag strip, weekend warrior, or just a stout all around street car an talk to the cam companies for best cam spec. GPI, Texas Speed, and Katech have good head options. Also don’t over look some of the smaller porters like Pray or Rick Crawford but they are normally booked pretty far out. Get a C5R timing chain with a LS2 chain dampener. Also spec a good oil pump, high pressure or volume again depending on application. Also a remote oil cooler might be a good idea depending on what your gonna do with the car.

Rear suspension is all about brand I’m a Detroit Speed and PAFDT fan so I have their solid cradle bushings with DSE toe rods and trailing arms just saving for their LCAs, also get a set of Z28 upper rear control arm bushings solid vs voided bushing. Try an get a 32mm solid or 35mm hollow rear sway bar will make the car a lot tighter.

Bilstien B6’s shocks and struts with your choice of 1” drop springs any more than that you run the risk of extreme rear axle angles. Any solid bushings in the driveline will result in NVH/drone.

Brakes would be the next choice, try an score a set of 6 piston for the front with rotors, Rock Auto has good deals on both of them, get the C7 Vette calipers they have vented pistons. An braided lines.

Tires an wheels, since it’s a 1LE it’s already got forged wheels with a set of GoodYears 200 tread wear tires (good tire but not in the cold or the rain), wanna look for a set of street tires with a flow forged wheel for good looks.

I have found Summit Racing to be a good supplier of the small stuff and Rock Auto for gaskets an OEM parts. GPI, Texas Speed, Katech, and Motion Race Works for the more specialized items. There’s 2 active members from Katech and GPI here pretty active too. Also check out the members build Forum lots of good ideas there as well.

Mines a 2010 that that I bought new off the lot and been seriously working since early 2012.

Man your is no slouch either, I followed your intake thread an was really hoping the LOD would be a good road course type of intake but seems like everything leans towards drag racing, so I got a GPI modded intake an will see how it performs.

Yea thanks sir, I appreciate that!! Yea the LOD does and seems to be an "all out" intake manifold as it really moved my power band way to the right and out to 7500 and was still wanting to make power, whereas what you do for racing, road course, you need the power "in the middle" so to speak and the stock, or even better "rod modded" intake would be better for that. Good luck with your new intake and have fun and enjoy!!

I got way more miles on my 2013. I just turned 15,000. A lot of short trips down a straight, flat, sticky road.
