Where to go from here? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ryanb910 · 07-11-2013, 09:50 PM

Well I have an CAI, exhaust, headers, tune, ported TB, and Ice-Olator and I'm wondering where do I go from here? Are there any other bolt ons I can add to my V6? I have been considering nitrous but not sure if thats what I want right now. What about cams? Any suggestions?

Ported manifold, mace makes a great one, I had a great butt Dyno feel when it was installed on my v6

But as others have pointed out you are close to done. Ported Intake Manifold and cams. Keep in mind the cams are 4 of them and not cheap.

How much are the cams without install

Apex Motorsports · 07-12-2013, 05:25 AM

You could add some air flow with a scoop. From there I would start doing some suspension upgrades. They won't add power but they will improve performance by applying the power you already have more efficiently.

I have a Vararam so I can't get a scoop.

I've seen a few threads on here about Cams but how much is the overall cost when getting these?

Also how much is a Ported Intake Manifold?

pgustavson · 07-12-2013, 12:14 PM

PM MACE_ENG for current pricing on the ported IM. Last I saw was around $350. (There is also a refundable core deposit necessary if you don't send yours in for porting)

The cams alone run around $1500 (maybe 1200?), again, PM MACE_ENG. An install at a reputable shop would be another $1000 or so (WAG). A tune would be required - which is an additional expense. The real problem with this mod is getting the tune right on the LLT. A dyno session with Trifecta tuning remotely can't be inexpensive. Gains shown so far were in the 30RWHP range, so the $/HP ratio gets fairly high, fairly quickly.

Great thread! I agree the ported IM is a great mod and although I haven't done anything with it yet but suspension will def help. Although I made hold out on the ported IM just yet to see how the R&D with RacnJsn95 fitting the LFX IM on the LLT pans out, could be promising.

Cams alone I believe are $1500 for the set of 4 and then the install it not simple have to mess with the timing chains and such...I know Rx does the cams + install for $2500....

Sikoriko · 07-13-2013, 12:52 PM

It's actually free if you already purchased their tune. All you have to do is setup a date that works for Vince, the dyno shop, and you.
