Idle video: ls1 block, custom gring comp cam, 230/237 .540/.540 110 lsa, ls6 heads, 60lb injectors, stock intake down to air filter ( want to change but idk what the best setup would be..) pacesetter longtubes into catless mids, custom cutback w/ SLP mufflers...

looks sweet! cant watch the vid for some reason tho

Probably because I posted it from my phone, I'll try it again later

Works on my iphone nice car man.

That's a burly sounding cam

looks good, and dear god at least you have plenty of injector if you want to do more, 60LBS is a bit much but leaves room to grow.

lookin and sounding good! don't like the tips bein cockeyed but still deff nasty. what'd it put down for numbers?

Street tuned..No numbers yet, I will be talking to don hopefully kinda soon but I want to change my stock intake setup before I get a full tune just not sure one what I want so many options...anyone have any ideas on what kinda on air intake/TB/MAF/manifold i should run ? It has stock ls6 heads (#243 castings) cam being 230/237 .540/.540 lift 110 lsa i have no idea on what would be best for the intake setup ... From what i researched hopefully at around 380 whp.. Idk though

..weld holdng tips straight is broken, has one exhaust leak at the header to collector on the right side, the band that were used are cheap ones.. Gotta get better clamps and new gaskets gunna wait till it gets warmer out

your current LS6 intake and stock MAF are fine, I'd get a ported stock T/B. I've heard good things about the Lingenfelter intake, but I personally don't know anyone with one. I've also heard the factory intake is really good on the GTO's so it may not even be worth a change

Get a cold air intake and ask Don to port your tb when u get it tuned other then that fix your exhaust or get a new setup

sounds good!

99% sure the stock intake is sealed off from the engine bay at least as well as any of the CAI intakes you can get. If there isn't a baffle or a flow restriction in your way I'd just leave it alone

I'll do some research on cai but at least port the throttle body, I like the exhaust setup I have just gotta tweak it a little bit, just picked it up Saturday so I have some time to mess with a few things

Awesome Car Man! Fix that exhaust and get the TUNE Done soon as well as


So just because the air box has a shield that blocks it from engine temp air... means its just as good as a non restrictive boxless intake setup?

Granted there numbers are bull shit. but if the stock setup was so good? why do people A: make them and B: make better times with an aftermarket one?

Just sayin

I want to get one anyway, get that sweet groan when it's sucking in air, but the stock manifold and MAF are good ? I shouldn't just get an 85mm Z06 MAF since I Lready have an ls6 manifold and ls6 heads ? Makes sense to me..

Just gotta figure out which CAI is the best, heard the k&n makes the MAF and IAT read wrong ?

Over oiled filter causes your maf and iat issues. run an un oiled or LIGHTLY oiled filter if need be. i just cleaned mine and didnt reoil it. ill get a paper filter next time its dirty. Anyway. the kit i showed you, you can use a filter "bag" cover and run real light oil and no dirt will pass the filter and its ALOT better then the TINY 04 GTO air filters

haha oh no more k&n talk for me lol. they're okay but yea alot of people say that I have k&n and like it but some dont. and if don does the tune he'll quiet the cam some but make more power! lol he made my cam quiet as hell but I love it

the "quiter" the cam as you say just means it wont cam surge and drive like shit! haha

exactly right dr.pizza hahaha

in order
A: people are lemmings and believe everything they read, we've all done it and you are full of shit if you say you haven't ever purchased something for the car that claimed to give you X HP and pretty much did shit, hell I had SLP longtubes at one point that actually cost me HP over stock manifolds, they were crap but they were the only game in town and made big claims and everyone with their seat of the pants dyno's said how great they were.

B: If you feel $250-$400 is worth it for .001 at the track have at it, i'm just saying there is money better spent elsewhere, the GTO has a pretty darn good intake box on the 6.0 engines, I can't imagine the 5.7 is all that different. And unless you are talking a gain of .5 and 5 MPH from the intake any gains could be from weather, wind direction, launch, shifting differently even tire pressure, etc. There is no intake that will give you a significant gain over a stocker unless there is a restriction and pretty sure there isn't one on a GTO. A $40 high flow filter (preferably oilless) will do the exact same thing

If you are buying it for looks and sound then by all means have at it, but I don't see you getting a whole lot more HP from one except maybe way up in the RPM range

My car is a street car, I'm not lookin to gain .5 And 5 mph.. I doubt I'll even bring my car to the track this year, but I'm not rich so before I buy anything I'll poke around ls1gto.com see if I can find a thread about stock versus aftermarket

I was also thinking UDP and TB spacer, what do you guys think ?

Looks and sounds real nice man!! I hate to but I must critique by saying you should fix those tips out the back and spray some clear on those tail lights and wetsand/buff em!!! They look dull, but if you like the look keep it. :klab:

Monaro body kit!!!!

Maybe on the UDP if you get a good one and replace the crank bolt with an ARP bolt. T/B spacer is a waste of time and may cause fitment issues with the intake (although it appears you have a good chunk of room between the intake and fan shroud).

couple things:

1. fixed crooked exhaust tip
2. Clear/wetsand/ploish tail lights

then you should be good. Car looks great man

I bought new taillights, going to retint them then clear/wet sand/buff and as for the tips the weld that holds them straight broke, easy 5 min fix just too lazy cause it's cold haha thanks for the compliments guys, this is the car I've wanted for the last 5 years :D just a few things here and there and she'll be perfect :)

How bout for my intake I just replace that stupid MAF to TB tube and keep the stock airbox just with a k&n for now ?? I bought 2 no name used intakes for $25 on ls1gto well see where that take me, same set up as the k&n and various Mysore should improve flow numbers, I just gotta get a block off shield for the filter

Is there any gains from the TB spacer ? And don't I need to run different serpentine belts with the UDP ?

wtf is a tb spacer gon do lol.

it increases plenum size. for what they cause in leaks vs. the hp/track times they gain they are HARDLY worth it. i see no need to replace the stock elbow. the ribbing isnt any hurt in flow and does effect anything. the bottle neck is the small air inlet on the 1994 gto. if your gunn a cheap it out and do a kn drop in. pull the box and cut the air inlet larger and stick the box back in.

never seen one of those :p

bahahah talking to ben about his 1994 tranny God Dammit!!! 2004!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!

It's either I cut the box or just buy a CAI lol and as for a TB spacer.. Not worth the $110. Going to port my LS1 TB leave the MAF and manifold for now until I eventually upgrade and port and polish the 243s way down the road

1994 GTO eh ?? That's a pretty rare vehicle right there lolzz

get one and tap a couple of nitrous lines in it then its worth it lolll

I wanna do nitrous but say goodbye to rear axles differential and tranny haha

Nah that depends on how you use it you can use a progressive controller and window switch to ease into it. However being a street car you do not want to get caught running the bottle on the street. better off with a s/c or turbo.

Nitrous = cheaper my buddy is selling a wet kit for $300 right now NIB :D !

Your forgetting alot of stuff besides the 300 dollar kit

Exactly, that is how you blow up engines, expect to spend about $1000 to do any system right and increase if you want to up the hit. Def do not skimp on electronics with happy gas.

At the very least u need a timing controler or tune and colder plugs
