Default Performance Advice.

I have a 2001 LS1 that I have installed TPIS long tube headers, Bossani exhaust & intercooled supercharger. I have been thinking about replacing heads & cam but not sure if the money is worth the outcome. Also can you install a dif intake manifild? I notice in some of the catalogs that they stop at the year 2000 for replacement intakes. :auto:

The reason intake manifold replacement stops at year 2000 is because 2001 and up already have the intake upgrade from the factory. You get to save money here, you greedy power monger! Headers and blowers aren't enough?! :rolleyes: Be careful with head/cam specs; blowers require their own optimal specs, less overlap than N/A applications for one. :chevy

With the mods you have now... installing heads and cam will eventually ruin your motor... best to build a forged engine then dive into the heads and cam trip. :blueangel:
