Just curious what would be your next mod? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Shaggy if mine would've been on a dyno jet I would've put down real close to 500 hp. I'm actually at a performance shop right now talking to them and they agree my numbers were low but only bc of the type of dyno used. They told me most people use dyno jets now and don't even know there's a difference between the two. So as soon as I find a place with a dyno jet I'm gonna go up there and lay down a nice 480 rwhp number.

My goal is gonna be have a car that is very mild mannered around town but is really just a wolf in sheep's clothing. I've seen a few videos of cam packages on here that look exactly like what I'm wanting,.... Which would be appx 100rwhp increase over bone stock, which should be in the 465rwhp range.

I was going to go with the big boy LG G6X3 cam (I still might) but I got a KILLER deal on a used TSP 231/236 .641"/615" 111 LSA cam. I had to jump on it.
I know people are afraid of the driveability of a big cam but as long as you have a very knowledgeable tuner it shouldn't be a problem.

i have seen some people here with some crazy dyno numbers that just don't work but his seem to be ok in my eyes as long as hes got a tune. i have pulled about 417WHP with full exhaust and intake and tune. and then pulled 410WHP on another dyno with same setup. so looking at SUX2Bu mods i think he could have 426WHP with a tune no problem.

also bro put that DAM CAM IN! hahah

mikeSS · 12-27-2011, 11:14 PM

now for OP, one thing to also say is maybe going some springs and sway bars? i know i just had mine install and it was well worth it. at some point you should stop focusing on power and do other thing to make a well rounded performance car. and if you look around a lot of us do suspension mods. just my thoughts good luck

I assume with a pretty aggressive cam like yours that your gonna be taking yours to the drag strip some?

hrpiii · 12-28-2011, 06:41 AM

to the OP, you need to upgrade the suspension. Something to make sure you can get all that power to the ground where it belongs. Suspension/Bushings/etc would be my next mod if I had all the power.

Many beat me to it, but for a little money a shot of nitrous should do it.

You have a very liberal dyno or a crazy agressive tune. Those are really nice numbers for a bolt on only car.

edit... I missed the pulley and the scoop.... pretty solid numbers anyway!

molsonbrador · 12-28-2011, 12:16 PM

Suspension. My next move as well.

Ratt · 12-31-2011, 11:31 AM

The mods you have now look pretty good to me. Maybe a gag ball for the Ole Lady so you can enjoy your toy with out hearing her whine when it WOT time.
