Does anyone know if the AFM engines are mod-friendly? Will the engine computer barf if you improve engine breathing (.e.g. intake, exhaust or cam swap).

So they can be mod friendly if you know how to tune the computer to handle it?

there will be a way to de-activate the afm and mod for whatever cam you want,
just look at alll the new trucks, gm and dodge that use dod/afm, the hand held tuners already support turning the dod/afm off

The V8-equipped Camaro SS delivers better numbers across the board. Chevy's Camaro SS outfitted with the 422-hp 6.2-liter LS3 V8 six-speed manual hits 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and runs a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 108 mph according to Oppenheiser. Strangely enough, Oppenheiser also claims that the automatic-equipped SS Camaro, which is rated at 400 hp, runs from zero to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds. "We optimized the shift points," he said.
Whoo hooo the Auto will be faster than the Manual Now it just needs to go on a diet. 3914lbs

Any skilled manual transmission driver will also optimize their shift points
I guarantee you, I will go up against an automatic SS with my manual, and beat the automatic off the line and in the quarter each and every time. If you know how and when to shift (the how is almost more important than the when), you can beat the fastest shifting automatics in the world (with the exception of F1 transmissions, which aren't really automatics anyway). |

1 minute behind the seat of the Camaro and I'll have it figured out. Clutch take up point, gear pattern and throw, sweet spot of the engine. |

Sorry, I didn't know who you were at first, and thus thought you might be someone just saying stuff without much stick shift experience. I know the launch control helps. But will the auto trans with the L99 hold each gear to redline? And how about downshifting 2 gears, say from 4th to second? There has to be SOME hesitation or lag in throttle response, or else you'd have tiny pinions and hydraulic fluid all over the street. |

Hey. Anybody think about moving this thread up with the other engines (L76, LS3) since now we know what the Camaro's getting.

I was actually thinking about tearing those one's down.
There might be something big coming down the pike as far as Camaro information here on the site is concerned...and it would make those stickies obsolete... |
