Introduction
Gents and Ladies,
Recently bought a 45th Anniv. SS. I am new to this site and am looking to use this thread to get info on modifications and general Camaro questions. I am def. not a car aficionado and only know how to change a tire and oil. A couple questions I have: 1. I have been trying to determine best oil for the car and whether I need to use a break in oil? I use Royal Purple on my other car and a K&N air filter. 2. I am looking to add a cold air intake, any suggestions and places I can have it done here in El Paso? I want one with a clear top enclosed case. 3. Any suggestions as far as initial care of the car, things I should consider since it has only 30 miles on it. 4. Any engine modifications under $500 right now that will help boost HP or longevity of the car. Thanks for the help and look forward to meeting some of you at a next car show. Dave |

welcome aboard dave, 1. oil depends what you like and how royal purple works on the other vehicle, my advice if your not gonna be racing or to tracks alot just use the normal mobile -1 worst case scenario if something happens to engine or oil tank warranty might not cover since you r using other oil brand man dealers just find an excuse not to cover warranty 2. i have adm performance and works great its enclosed but not see thru, gigachip has a CAI with clear top looks great and he loves it. if you get a cai my advice get it enclosed for heat not to enter intake and keep engine with cool air (i bet some of us can help to install the cai) 3. i paid extra to simmonize my car, its like an extra coat of glass paint i love it only wax my car one to two times a year and my vehicle shines even though i just water my car and dry. i just hate these sand storms we r getting lately 4. intake from 200 to 400 dollars and vmax throttle body 150 not painted will probably see a gain of 25 hp for both together and save on gas on both

2. I would not pay to have the CAI installed, if I remember correctly all it takes is a flathead screwdriver and a 10mm socket, it also only takes about 15min. 3. Where did you get the simmonize done, I don't know if it is too late for mine, but it sounds great especially for cars arround here. 4. Like Jose said these are about all you can do for the price and without voiding some part of your warranty. And lastly welcome the this little great part of the world.

Can any body guess what I needed the tips for?
And a little preview of the new 3'' Borla exhaust?

Jose1003 and K1SSRSS,
Thanks for the responses. I hear you have a pretty good group here in EP. I've been reading through threads and everyone seems to respect each other. Looking like I will stick to Mobil 1 an def change after 500 miles. Simonize I got done at the dealer, was worried it was a rip off, but have heard good things. What does the vmax throttle body do? Def looking to mid mod anything that will void te warranty |
