Cam, Sway Bars, Tune, Dyno results, SRP Pedals, pics/vids, and Valve Stem Caps!
I picked up my car today after Tony at Speed INC. made it more SPEEDY! They installed a Texas S&P cam 231/236 and BMR front and back Sway Bars and a tune. The goal was to add some suspension/chassis help and add a nice cam with a lope while keeping the SS street friendly.
Previous numbers on the Dyno were 411.36 max power and 404.64 torque. After today the SS is pulling 455.52 max power and 426.61 torque. I know you guys favor the bigger cams but I didn't want my car lurching through city traffic so the 231/236 was a nice choice, I'm very happy with it. My car has the angry race car shake going on when I'm stopped at red lights and the additional power is a handful. Here are some videos... Dyno at Speed INC. Lope! It's a bad recording but I think it sounds great. I don't have pics of the BMR Sway Bars but they are nice! A definite improvement for the car. I always hear good things about BMR so I wanted to check them out. I had my SRP Racing Pedals installed as well. They are the ugly block ones but I like them. Gratuitous Catch Can from Moroso. Engine Bay Just for Adam...Zombie Outbreak Valve Stem Caps! The Camaro goes in for detailing tomorrow so sorry for the dirty pics fellas. Mods to date are... Texas S&P LTH 1 7/8 w/ cat SLP LM II's Roto-Fab Induction Moroso Catch Can Texas S&P Cam 231/236 BMR Sway Bars TSW Nurgurgring Wheels Nitto Invo Tires My dumb Valve Stem Caps All performance mods done by Speed INC. who I think is a great shop and do solid work. I may do one more mod this year and ditch the high wing for the Anvil spoiler but we'll see. |

Sounds great. I had an SS with a Max NA cam and it was a pain to drive at low speeds. It was a manual. I think you made a good choice.

Thanks guys! I'm finding my car a little scary to be honest but in a good way. The car shakes at idle and now I have to downshift to 2nd approaching red lights, I used to just shift to neutral from but 3rd it's all different now.
I didn't realize how much of the car's characteristics would change, I expected some but it has me learning the car all over again. I like it! Would you guys go for more suspension/chassis upgrades next or more power? The sway bars I have on are making a big difference. |
