Yeah I haven't heard much good coming from a canned tune. I was reading up on the vararam intake and it's... something! Are the HP claims real? Is it a lot better than a traditional tube ram air?

I had a 09 cobalt Ss/tc before my camaro 2ss/rs also :p
It's definitely a change worth making.. Still miss that boost but the sound of of muscle is forever in my blood

HCSS that is awesome to hear! That was one of my biggest concerns about moving away from forced induction, but everyone told me 426 ponies pumping out of a V8 will more than make up for it! I'm holding them to it! I've been in love with the Camaro for years now and so far I have no regrets.

If you really want that nice muscle car lope get a nice cam along with those supporting mods,but to start with cai,LTS,cat back,and tune should do like previously stated.

Stay away from any foreign poor quality crap.....at the Woodward Cruise last year, one gentleman driving his LS3 1,000 miles to attend had one of his foreign header pipes actually melt (bad weld) & crack off due to the heat/cold cycle.....

^^^ive missed you Smirnoff!!

HeavyChevySS · 04-14-2013, 07:03 PM

Yea cai, headers, exhaust and tune is what I have started with and it's good for now.. But she needs a cam forsure. Can't wait for thAt. If only winter would hurry up and end here in Winnipeg I'd have my car outta storage already

Krazycamaro · 04-14-2013, 08:18 PM

Thanks for all the info... question... What is an LTS?

Nightmare2012 · 04-14-2013, 08:43 PM

Long tube headers^^

Krazycamaro · 04-15-2013, 10:49 AM

Haha thats what I was figuring but assumed the abbreviation would be LTH... In my previous car, it was the shorter the better, but now in he V8 it's a whole different ball game! Looking forward to the adventure.

Your car looks 10x better without those lame stripes.
Shows off the color so much better.

Welcome.
