Default Need some expertise

Hey guys! Im a fairly new vette owner, bought a 95 LT1 6-spd about 3 months ago and i absolutely love it. So far I've only done a few basic mods (cold air intake, exhaust, short throw shifter as well as some 4.10 gears that I haven't had installed yet). My goal is to build a daily drivable street beast that can tear it up on the track as well. Emissions are not a problem where im at. I plan to build it up over a long period of time so I was just wondering what some you more experienced gear heads would suggest i start with. I also plan to eventually use some forced air induction but can't seem to decided between a turbo, supercharge, or nos.

Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks

Looks like you are on the right path with the mods you have.
The 4.10's are a day and night upgrade, IMO. Nice upgrade! Next I would recommend a good set of long tubes, cam and head work/ upgrade. I went the Lloyd Elliot route and love it.

Ive actually been looking around for LT's, but honestly the selection seems to be very limited. I was hoping to get a set of hookers, but I haven't seen any made for the C4, although Ive heard that a set made for F-bodies will fit with some work. As for cam and headwork, is the LT4 hotcam pretty decent with ported heads?

Corvette Central has Hooker headers (Part Number 324451) for LT1's and Mid America has Bassani headers (Part Number 619-161). They are somewhat pricey I believe because of their limited production demand. Also, sometimes I see headers for sale in the C4 Parts For Sale section.

Good luck.
