Build question
I am doing bolt on’s to my 14 c7 z51. I decided to go to 2” headers and x pipe with the ecs 1500 with the upgraded rib belt. I am looking at intakes and I know the msd is probably the most popular. Does fast not make lt1 intakes? While I was going to do a intake, I was going to do a lt4 hpfp and injectors. Where do you think this would put me whp range estimated. E85? Meth? I dont want to hand grenade the engine. Obviously I understand the risk. Want to confirm what I am doing makes sense.
thanks
thanks

if you turn the power up beyond 700whp you will then need more fueling PLUS the internals done so you’re looking at probably $15k-$20k additional cost beyond your initial upgrade investments.
The 1-7/8” headers would be better for you at the power you’re looking to get with your upgrades.
CAI…Skip the standard aftermarket CAI and go with a 5” CAI as it flows way more air. Cordes and others make great ones.
With headers/exhaust, 5” CAI, Magnuson 2650, Meth Injection and a solid tune you should be between 650-700whp.
