How can I make my v6 Camaro faster (0-60)
Mainly looking to increase 0-60 time. I hear that its not the hp thats making it 6 seconds, its that it doesnt have enough torque. What do you suggest I do to make it faster? .Thanks and sorry if this question has already been answered.
I will post pics when it gets delivered tomorrow (between 9am-2pm) |

I picked up a fairly nice mid-range gain with my MRT axle back and then a bit more with my stand alone IAT (Inlet Air temp) mod... Stock my car was consistently 6.0 in the 0-60 using my dashhawk... Now down to 5.44 in the 0-60... Looking forward to seeing your pics! And welcome to Camaro5!!

JBA shorties might help, that's what I'm hoping for. Well, I'm sure the potential for added sound and loss of weight might help too!!

Cold air Kit helps a little bit.

The IAT, in my area, is about a $52 trick. I'll be doing it here shortly!

Well You could put one of those really high wings on the back.... oh that only works on Ricers and wanna be ricers.. Seriously, headers, low restriction exhaust, cold air intake... for starters, there are many ways to increase power to increase 0-60 times... first ask yourself, How fast do I want to get there? and then, How much money do I want to spend?

My Son found out the hard way that as the power increases reliability decreases...unless you take the extra measures to ensure that it doesn't. Just keep everything in perspective... and have fun..

Change gears. It'll be the most bang for your buck.

Less restrictive Exhaust & Intake...
PLUS run your tests in Cooler temps,High Bar.Presure,low Humidity,low Alt. which = a NEGATIVE Density Altitude...... THOSE conditions WITHOUT the Exhaust & intake will bring down the 0-60 times over 3/4 of a sec. From 6.09 sec to 5.26sec. that's what I found with my 39 diff. 0-60mph recorded runs. I ran 6.09 secs. with a DA of 2,805ft. I ran 5.26 secs. with a DA of 162ft. My Best run is 5.01 sec. with my MRT exhaust, Airaid intake & 19" tires......But MOST IMPORTANTLY With: Temp.46, Hum.50, Bar.Pres.30.31, Elevation 350ft...= DA of MINUS 812ft. All of those conditions will make a VAST diff. in 0-60 times. .......Did I say VAST!!.............. You really have to test & record the runs to see the VAST diff.those 5 conditions make.
