What should my next mod be?

[Blackbirdws6]

As some of you know, I occasionally have money burning a hole in my pocket that gets sucked into my bird. Which mod do you think I should get?

1. Aluminum Driveshaft
2. LS1 Front Brake upgrade
3. 4-inch I-pipe(not Y) for exhaust (only portion untouched surprisingly)
4. Save for 12-bolt or S60 rear

Any other ideas are welcome. I pretty much have all the bolt-on's and cosmetically I'm pleased with the car.

Brakes FTW.

FWIW, I wouldn't stick an LS1 shaft in your car with the spray. No sense paying for one that you are most likely gonna break. I would save up a bit more and get a nice aftermarket one when the time comes.

And why cheap out at only LS1 brakes? How about C5/C6, Z51 or Z06 brakes?

REAR!!!

or MORE NAWWWWSSSS!!

REAR!!!

:werd:

The driveshaft is pointless, the brakes, eh they could be an upgrade but are they THAT bad on the LT1 cars?

The rear blowing up is an inevitable thing, especially if you're spraying it.

True, but you could never have enough brakes.
Rear would be 2nd.

id say rear with the spray factor. where is there a write up for lt1 brake upgrades? and the parts link?

[nj96z28]

none of the above do a c5 brake upgrade :) i still voted

Rear. Unless you really drive hard your brakes are probably working fine now- they are sized to stop the car with a full load of passengers and cargo.

The rear is a flat out piece of ****.

rear. there's only 2 types of 4th gen drivers... thoe who have blown their rear, and those who will.

nice...

The rears going to be a major issue before any of those other parts.

Cam. A big one. :mrgreen: Assuming you have LT headers already.

Out of the posted choices.....save for a rear, by far.

[Blackbirdws6]

The LT1 brakes are that bad...especially with the 18" TT2's. They simply do not provide ANY confidence when using them for any real stopping power. LS1's would be a decent upgrade and I would love to go with a vette brake package, they won't fit behind the wheels I have so they are a no go.

More nitrous will not be an option because I'm prob close to the limits on the stock shortblock and I have a NANO kit waiting to be installed on the car.

Looks like I may just save for the rear and hope the car slows down enough at the end of any high speed driving lol.

DocEwww- I already have all the bolt-ons except for an electric WP.

100 shot is nowhere near the threshold of what the LT1 shortblock can take... Its all in the tune up..
