Upgrading my 1LE. Opinions needed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Im bout to get cam,headers n tune done in next few weeks. Im thinking bout doing E85 conversion as well. I know gains arent as impressive in a na car as a FI car. As an overall performance upgrade worth it or not in my NA car?? I know it helps the enviroment.

Decisions,decisions!!! Lol

What cam are you looking at?

I think hes questioning the e85 part, but the cam specs would be cool to mull over.

As for the e85, just make sure its available where youre at. Even in Orlando there arent many places to get e85. I know you can switch between 93 and e85 on the fly, but it would be pointless to get e85 and never be able to use it lol

funny you mention E85, actually spoke with my shop today about possibly going that route. Sadly you're looking at fuel pump/lines & injectors just to safely run E85, which quickly adds up. for cost vs. performance, you're better off going with the mods you stated and then maybe going down the corn-fed route at a later point in time.

Its a solid gain overall for the price. Do it if you can. I would if I e85 available. Its 30rwhp +-.

Thanks yall for the feed back. Im not quite sure on cam specs yet. Itll b a custom grind but i guess itll b big cam equivalent to like a night fury or something like that along those lines. I have a station here in my town that has e85. So getting it wont be the problem.

if you've got the extra cash for the e85 upgrade AND its easily accessible, with those mods you've got planned, that car would be nasty

I guess E85 conversion will added to the bill. Lol Thanks for everyones opinion.
