So here's the deal, I want to do a mild engine build for my 01, auto, limited. Right now it has a cat back and a k&n cold air intake. My plans include building a head, finishing up the exhaust, throwing a cam in, maybe a double roller timing chain, and some sort of tuner.
So I wanted to build a head to replace the crack prone stocker my 01 has on it with one of the older castings. I know that there is one that will allow me to use my 99+ intake, but I'm not entirely sure which one it is. The 0330? Anyways, it'll get the full port polish and gasket match treatment, roller rockers, and a full machine job. I saw a guy who put ls1 valves in his head, do you think that's worth it?
I was going to go with the comp cam, but they went under. So I'm totally at a loss now. Any suggestions for a good low to mid range cam?
For the exhaust I would love to get a banks header, and a magnaflow high flow cat. I know that apn is another option but I know almost nothing about them.
As for a programmer, I have no idea where to begin... I can get an edge one with a hook up I have, but I like the option of one that can do more, like read and delete codes, have multiple tune options ect.. I saw an ad for one made by diablo in JP that could do all that. Does anyone have any experience with it?
So what do you all think? Is it worth it? Anything I'm leaving out? I am very open to options other than the ones I listed and any feedback is great. If you have first hand experience that's even better!
Thanks,
Chance
