Best mods

I'm planning on getting a 94-96 Z28, Trans Am, or Firebird Formula soon. It's gonna be an automatic, but from what I've gathered, I should be able to run LOW 14s stock... Which is pretty amazing

Anyway, I'd like to break into the mid 13s. What mods would you suggest to run consistant mid 13s? Thanks!

well, first off welcome to the board, second, the search feature is great for things like this, a few threads are the same as this that were posted within this week.
but some good mods are CAI, headers, catback exhaust, and since u have an auto get a tranny cooler and shift kit and a stall, maybe some gears, depends on what it comes with, that should get u going

To get your self in the mid 13s efficiently and cheaply, Here are my suggestions:

Cold Air Induction (CIA)
A Catback Exhaust or a Cuttout is the cheapest route
And a Torque convertor (A 2800 Vigalante..Not cheap but you can get one for a decent price in the For Sale section of this Forum)
Mabee some drag radials too.

If you only have money for one mod right now, I would recommend the Cold Air Induction over all other mods.

Before you go out and spend a bunch of money on your car on new parts, you should look thru the for sale section of this forum and buy your parts from sellers that have a good Rep. You will save a Lot of money that way.

Examples: I paid 400 bucks for a set of coated long tubes headers and a Y-Pipe with Random Cats already installed (new this would have cost me close to $1300-$1400.00)
I also bought my new 383 motor (worth about 5 Gand) for a little over 2 grand. (I got these in the For Sale section of this board)

Hope that helps,

I second his opinion on that. I bought used SLP's coated for 350 and a used borla for 275 and they do just as good as brand new stuff at half the price.
