Hasn't been cracked yet. However, you could do some tuning w/ piggbacks and a wideband. I used a SAFC-II on a Viper once

I doubt that regulator will work with this car.

ideally if you are putting this much work into all the other stuff, you should throw down the extra money and do a full dyno tune. reason being, not many people will have this combination of add-ons that will be used for hand held tuners. a hand held tuner is fine for the intake/exhaust and leaning out the a/f mixture, changing shift points, adjusting for gears, etc. but if you are throwing a meth kit on there and some other things, you should really get a full tune done. I know its a good chunk of money added on to the total, but its like buying new lifters when rebuilding an engine, its safe insurance.

I suppose so. Mostly it was an attempt to tide things over till I could afford to get a full dyno tune later on.

have you considered a brembo swap for the camaro? i know on the cobalts, it was possible with both calipers, pin kits, pads and the new rotors. the only thing that had to be done was a modification of some sort to mate the brake line to the caliper itself. im going to look into this here in the comming months

I also have to wonder if there are any differnces in the brake booster between the V6 and V8 on account of the brembo's

I wouldn't think so, but hey it possible...

Probably a stupid question to most of you, but why would you be ordering 4 cat converters?
Like I can understand the two mufflers obviously, but I thought it would be the same number for the cats. So yeah, i'm really confused so if someone could explain it would be greatly appreciated.

Digging this one out of the deep archives. I never saw this and found it interesting to read. Long before he had his Camaro, and before many of the mods were even thought of, someone was thinking about the ability to get 400 hp at the flywheel.

Enjoy it for what it's worth, as we know the exhaust did not provide the kind of hp the OP was hoping for with his numbers.
