Say I want 500 RWHP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For a daily driver, and for my needs... 500 RWHP seems about all i'll be wanting. My question is, whats the easiest and cheapest way to do this?

MARO-KEEN · 05-27-2009, 09:21 PM

With or with out a power adder? Cheap way is bolt on's and spray or heads/cam. Depending how far you want to go.

Expensive = Nitrous. Hard on engine, but there only when you want. Unless the bottle's empty.
More Expensive = Full bolt ons, heads, cam. Most drastic change in MPG, idle, and driving characteristics
Most Expensive (but not by much) = TVS 2300 supercharger. Little change on MPG or driving characteristics, stupid amounts of torque.

good horse power is not cheap, and cheap HP is not good.

Nitrous is pretty much just as hard on the engine as a supercharger in different but similar ways. But, for the most part I agree with your comments there, other then price I guess to an extent of use anyways. More info will come and be more efficient as time goes on and more 5th gen camaro's are out there.

Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to say that superchargers and H/C weren't hard on an engine. All 3 are going to put more stress, especially at 550hp. I just said that because of all the people I've known that have ever modded their cars, the ones who did nitrous seemed to have more broken parts than the other two options. Except for the one guy I knew who installed his camshaft wrong and broke the valves on the pistons.....

I don't know too much about the LS3's yet, but based on what I do know, I think full exhaust, CAI/Tune, UDP's, Ported TB, FAST 102MM Intake Manifold, and a large Cam would get you close to 500rwhp. I saw a dyno of a 490rwhp cam only LS3 Vette the other day so 500 seems somewhat easily achievable.
