Ok I was just wondering what would be your next mod if you were in my boat?? I have a 2011 2ssRS M6 and here are the mods:
Halltech Cai
vmaxx ported throttle body
1 7/8 Long tube headers
solo mach x cat back exhaust
mast motorsports stage 2 cam
The car dyno at 442 rwhp and 416 torque. Just wondering what would be your next mod and y? I think im getting addicted lol. And no the supercharger is out of the question for atleast for the next year. I pretty much set my limit with the wife this christmas on the cam and headers install lol.

What are you wanting to achieve in the end?

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 01:22 AM

honestly would like to get to 500 rwhp eventually. but im in no hurry. Honestly it feel like i gained alot of power with the new cam and headers. im putting j pipes on this week to help with the drone i gained. But other than new heads im not sure what else i could do. Maybe a scoop for a small hp gain. How much are new heads installed and what is the gain? I have the heritage grill which is still in my closet i haven't installed it yet lol just curious what someone else would do

You're pretty much in the same boat as me, except I dont have the cam yet, lol. I've bought pretty much most of the bolt ons possible, except for a supercharger (which I want to eventually do). So I've been buying cosmetic mods for the meantime, which is probably something you can do if you like.

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 01:51 AM

I want to get the black zl1 super sport wheels when they come out. I guess i could lower the car. Ive been saying i was going to but never got around to it. I need to set a new goal b/c if i don't ill end up doing something dumb like taking off my 800$ cat back for a different kind just to get a new tone lol. I change mods and cars so much i cant keep anything the way it comes for very long. Maybe an indash or something if theres no other bolt ons to go on.

CamaroCowboy · 12-27-2011, 02:01 AM

You are almost right where I am! I am going for suspension next, then ported intake and ported heads, then upgrade my half shafts then decide if I want to supercharge, procharge or twin turbo.......

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 02:12 AM

ya i went with the vmaxx ported throttle body when i had the cam and headers installed so i could get the best results possible with the tune. I see we have some pretty close hp numbers with our mods. Im guessing you were on a mustang dyno like me?

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 02:13 AM

O and i want a whipple no doubt but i don't want a divorce already lol

SUX2BU · 12-27-2011, 02:40 AM

I would swap to a better cam. No offense, but that cam must be VERY mild with only 442 rwhp. That's only 16 rwhp more than where I'm at with just bolt ons. I have a cam/springs sitting on the shelf I have been putting off installing untill I can get a better time out of my current set up. I' expecting at least 480 rwhp once I do install the cam.

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 02:54 AM

and you prolly dynoed on a dyno jet which gives much higher numbers than a mustang or land and sea dyno like the one my car was dyno on. if i was on a dyno jet i wouldve been in the 470-480 range. You can't look at the 442 and say the cam was a weak cam b/c that isn't the case. First dyno run with just the cai and cat back exhaust i ran 362 rwhp. So cam and headers combo with tune and ported throttle body gave me 80 hp increase which isn't to shabby. And i kept my 100k mile warranty since my dealer is a gm performance dealer and did the whole install and tune for me. So ya if i was on a dyno jet like other guys putting up those higher numbers you see then i wouldve been right there with them

What did it do stock? have you taken it to the track. Dyno numbers are a good tuning tool but track numbers is where it's at.

dshep214 · 12-27-2011, 03:37 AM

In the message above i said it did 362 stock. 80 hp increase.

No you said it had a c.a.i. and a cat back. That is NOT stock.

SUX2BU,

What cam are you going with? I've read several of your posts and know you are pretty high up on the 1/4 mile list, and was curious what qualities that your going for in your cam? I realize there is a give and take when it comes to cam selection,.... Between max HP and nice mild mannered city drivability. 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.
