Hey peps I'm new to these forums so g'day. :thumbsup: I just purchased this SS a week ago. Anyone have any ideas of what power i can realistically get outta this and still be able to be a run about as well. I plan to get the exhaust changed within the next fews months but will have to see what happens with funds. :bang: I am also having a problem with this cold air setup. I'm trying to find a pod system but cannot find one or should I just leave as is??? :confused:

Thanks Heaps

Welcome to the forums. I'm the resident spammer, but watch out for the vampires!

Is the SS auto or manual? Looks good stock, looks better modded!
With power, you can easily get alot out of it without opening the motor. I know of some guys running over 250rwkw, not sure on mods though, i personally hate LS1s.
Turbo is your friend, you can get alot and the motor will still handle it!

Have fun posting around!

This is a much beter idea Punch yourself in the face and throw $600 at the NExt old drunk you see on the street. Well if you buy anything SS inductions make then you might as well, Ive personaly seen SS inductions products Lose power on a Dyno mate .! get your self a Hole saw and drill another hole inthe airbox and then goto holden and get ur self the manaro Cold air indction kit only cost about $25 and it will be the best $25 you will spend on your LS1.
2. get you self a Good maffless Tune from somewhere like G&D i have mates who have taken there cars there and they are bloddy great Blokes. with a good set of extractos and exhaust along with a good mafless tune it should net you around 230-240rwkw around 310-325 fwkw . a set of 3.7 diff gears should also help get the Heavy old bitch outa the hole, with this sort of combo you should be looking a high 12 second pass if you can get hold of a OTRCAI ( power torque have these at around $595 with filter and less then $400 withour DRAG ONLY ) good luck with your mods mate, and as always if your planning to do womthing then do heaps of reasearch if not it will only end up in hartache.
