Long tube headers.

be carefull
old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (
The TORNADO. I think JC Whitney carries them
Seriously,on either juice or LT headers.
What other mods do you have? You're off to a good start with your Nelson tune.
Juice might be easier, only because I'm not sure about availability of long tube headers for your 96', especially under $500. Some others may chime in on this.
PaceSetter makes a nice set of LTs for less than $500, but they're for 98' and newer, so possible fitment issues would need careful study.

I think a stall would be a good start.,won't make more HP but will make better use of what you have. But N2O would deffently make you truck jump!

That's a great point. Concentrating on the tranny will help get more of your current power to the pavement. If you can do the work yourself, $500 would go a long way.Originally posted by GMCwantsLS1@Jun 1 2005, 08:32 PM

As far as most HP I think I would be a cam. Now if you just want to drop off time then I would say a set of gears (If you can get them with a posi that would be the best), a stall converter or a set drag radials if you already have a posi. I got a stock LS1 in my 91 but I get no traction whatsoever, Im getting a posi with 4.10s the minute I get back to the US. That should drop at least half a second off the 1/4 mile.
Had a 91 SB, Open diff, 3.08 gears, stock LS1/T56. 14.8@95.9...sold.
Now, 90 C1500 350tbi/NV3500....just bought a 5.3...need T56, Swap parts.....
