SuperStock Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I do not think long tubes i already have stainless exhaust, when i get all the motor work i will get a nelson tunning or something along those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 By long tubes, Brad means long tube headers from Pacesetter, Dynatech, OBX, etc.. The JBA's are shorties if I recall and really don't do much in the way of performance. A custom tune is definitely worth every penny, that Hypertech isn't doing much for you. In terms of ignition, all you really need to change is wires, MSD or Taylor are good, along with plugs(AC Delco or NGK). The stock ignition coil packs are fine and there is really no need to change them. Also try adding a 160* thermostat as well....... welcome to the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70chevy03ss Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have a nice pro charger that would make it go fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStock Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Are the long tube headers 50 state legal as in will it pass emissions, And should i spend the money on a custom tune if I plan on upgrading the motor or should I wait till everything is done.

allballz57 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Tune,headers,and Trail blazer torque converter. This is the most bang for your buck you can get without nitrous,and although you may be able to get nitrous for how much you want to spend,it will cost twice that to set it up safely,the right way.

zippy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Put on the JBA's and have it tuned in. Other than doing plug wires, don't change any other ignition parts as they are more than enough and not likely to be improved on no matter what gizmo you buy for it. I'd also do a thermostat and some Redline water wetter. A converter would be a nice swap down the road, but they are very pricey for a 4L80E. A cam for more torque would be a big help.

Aaaahhhhh,4l80. I guess 2500 = 4l80,duh......scratch the torque converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
