Default good enough?

Hey everybody I am wondering if I will be able to beat LS1's with these mods and I know this question haas been asked a lot. The mods will be for a 2001+ GT Thanks.

1.) 4.30 or 4.56 gears (maybe u could tell me which gear you think is better)
2.) Diablo tuner
3.) MGW short throw shifter
4.) Nitto 555r
5.) Accufab TB/Plenium
6.) CIA
7.) Magneflow cat-back exhaust
8.) BBK LT's and shorty x-pipe
9.) VT Stage 2 N/A cams
10.) Steeda underdrive pulleys

P.S.- #'s 1-4 are going to be done as soon as I get the car and the rest will be done at a later date. With the first 4 mods how close will I get to beating a LS1 or a z4. Thanks again for all your help.

I dont think you will be able to take an ls1 with thoes mods. Best route to take an ls1 is to get a big power adder like s/c turbo nitrous e.t.c

yah but I don't have 5K to drop into a S/C and I want to install a turbo next year with a THO 600. I will have about 1500 as soon as I get the car hopefull before the end of the month to do some mods with so it was either Stage 2 cams, gears, tuner or gears, tuner, DR's, Short throw shifter. I figured I would get better times with the second set of options which would let me do the rest over the summer.

Also nitrous is illegal in Virginia and it is a 10K fine if you are caught using it.

You should be taking them fairly easy from a dig and probably from a roll as well. With a 3.73 rear gear I was putting my buddy away pretty hard from a stop.

Did you see the video I posted on the other LS1 topic? That will give you a good idea, pretty much exactly what you are gunning for mods wise.

The car was capable of high 12s before.

If I run low 13s now I will shoot myself
