Recently purchased a 2014 Camaro SS1
Hey guys i recently purchased a 2014 Camaro SS1. It had some work done to it Which leads me to a couple questions.
Question 1 The car has BBK Long tube headers with high flow cats, BBK cold Air intake, BBK throttle body. Does anyone here have a similar setup and know what the car makes HP/Tq wise? Question 2 Is there a way to tell if the car has a tune in it? it currently throws a code for air/fuel mixture. I am assuming its because the O2 sensors are extended do to the headers. Question 3 If it does not have a Tune what is the best tuner for these cars? Thank you in Advance |

Welcome and congrats on your new ride! Here's my take on what you have:
Question 1 The car has BBK Long tube headers with high flow cats, BBK cold Air intake, BBK throttle body. Does anyone here have a similar setup and know what the car makes HP/Tq wise? Not sure what diameter headers they are, but BBK typically makes 1 3/4" and 1 7/8". Based on a similar setup with 1 7/8" headers, I made 365hp/390tq through an automatic. Also, if you have a manual your numbers will be closer to 415-430hp and about the same torque with a tune. Question 2 Is there a way to tell if the car has a tune in it? it currently throws a code for air/fuel mixture. I am assuming its because the O2 sensors are extended do to the headers. As stated above, if you have the CEL, chances are you do not have a tune. Question 3 If it does not have a Tune what is the best tuner for these cars? A custom dyno tune is the best, but since you're in NJ there's a few good tuners around you. RPM Motorsports and Complete Street Performance are two real well known shops around there, or if you want to take a drive and wait for Jeremy to come back up, he does wonders and comes to Gettysburg from Florida a half dozen times a year. His last trip or next to last trip of the year should be coming up soon. FYI, BBK throttle bodies are notorious for hanging. If it's working fine now I wouldn't worry too bad about it, but if it starts to give you issues Vmax and Bo White do great work on throttle bodies. Vmax you can order through their webpage, Bo is a member here and you can PM him to get things going. If/when you would decide to change it up.

If your BBK headers are 1 3/4" id recommend getting some new 1 7/8" instead As far as a tune, any good mail order tune found on here will fix your issues for the cheapest possible return on investment.

Hey. Congrats!! I live right up the 18 from you!!! I take my car to complete street performance in PA. Bought my camaro a year ago In freehold and ended up getting it returned immediately cause it had headers and high flow cats and a cold air intake. Car desperately needed the retune and it’s safer and makes more power now.
