First Two Mods Help (Newbie to LFX) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

95RapidRiot · 03-23-2013, 03:56 PM

What is the best combo for performance and price on mods. I was thinking CAI and tune, drop in and tune, or X-Pipe and tune? Any combo deals out there to be had?

I just got my 2013 LFX yesterday. It is loaded inside and I love it so far. My last camaro was the LS1 motor in 98. I wanted the SS 6.2 but just couldn't swing it.

I love the site. Any and all help appreciated.

IMHO I would say ported throttle body, CAI then the high flow cats before you tune. And in that order. Congrats btw

Throttle Body and CAI. if you want 2 to start with.

I would make it 3 personally and put a catch can on first.. then follow with the next two.

cold air intake, Solo High flow cats, Vmax ported TB.

Keep warranty:
CAI, exhaust, V-max TB.

Whos care about warranty:
Tune, exhaust including cats.

NO MATTER WHAT:
CATCH CAN.
Cai and TB money well spent.

I'm 16 years old:
$3000 24" wheels/tires and $3000 stereo, complete exhaust system delete.

CAI intake, scoop, and ported throttle body would be a good start and make a noticeable difference. We can set up a package deal anytime.

Thanks for all the help!!!!!

Definitely definitely definitely get a catch can to save your engine from oil sludge.

Where abouts in MI are you from? There's a bunch of us from Michigan FBody and Detroit 5th Gen that hang out on Woodward quite a bit once the weather warms up - maybe we'll see you out there.

I am in Hillsdale MI. That sounds like fun!

Everyone who said CAI Inc. is correct

Bang for you buck, a CAI and tune will give you very noticeable gains, do the ported TB and you'll be looking good my friend! Let us know if you need anything, we are always happy to help!
