arturomoreno Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 i just bought my SS on dec 15 09 and am brand new to the scene. im looking for some performance parts for it, but am reading a whole other language when doing so. all i want is to know what the lq9 equates to so i can get a bigger cam, shorter pulley for it and down the road a centrifugal super charger. like i said, i am clueless about it and would like to get help from fellow SS drivers. thanks!

sierra ss Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Welcome to the site and congrats on buying a ss. Start off first with either a tune from wheatley or black bear, bothe are venders on the site. Or in your case with planning to go FI buy a performance transmission as the stock ones will not hold up to boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTAL Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 one thing that is important when moding your truck is set a goal for yourself. If yout looking to go FI (forced induction) you need to get supporting mods such as a built transmission and rear end. Other wise you will be constantly breaking drive train parts.

Krambo Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 one thing that is important when moding your truck is set a goal for yourself. If yout looking to go FI (forced induction) you need to get supporting mods such as a built transmission and rear end. Other wise you will be constantly breaking drive train parts. Welcome and I agree with the above statement. I will also add that if you are planning a cam and eventually a supercharger...your cam choice will play a bigger role NOW. Your cam should have as little positive overlap as possible (if any at all) and IMO should bias the exhaust numbers. A well thought out cam, injectors, matching converter, built transmission and of course tuning will make a great platform for your supercharger down the road. A little planning ahead for future mods goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
