Best mod you can do now is headers IMHO. Being in Florida a Dewitt's rad is nice, figure $500 for the part. No real MAF mods to be done. Not sure what you mean by a short throw shifter for an automatic.


GOALS: Good question! I'm not looking to turn my LT1 into an LT4. I'm just looking to get the best the engine has to offer without major upgrades. I doubt anything else will add as much to the performance as the 1.6 rockers and LT4 springs have with the possible exception of headers (which would be the obvious next step).

However, I want this '96 CE to remain looking as stock as possible, including under the hood. I'm no so totally committed to it that I wouldn't consider selling it, some day, for perhaps a C6. Headers would just make it appear to be somebody else's hot rod and devalue the car.

Given those parameters, air filter housing upgrade, TB hot water bypass and the TPIS air flow piece, all coming to less than $120.00, should be no-brainers. Past that, probably the radiator upgrade.

Regarding the shifter, the throw is long and cumbersome for manual upshifting or down shifting. It's OK, it's just not "fun."
