Need Help! 2010 Camaro SS RS
 
Hi guys, this is my first post here. I have a 2010 SS RS Red Jewel Tincoat. I got it used and its been great.
So far I have upgraded to HIDS, LED DTR, tinted windows, and changed my interior lighting to aqua blue.
I was wondering where to start with performance upgrades. I don't have a lot of spare cash, but I want to do something. Horsepower is the main goal, keeping total cost in mind.
Any ideas?

what i did first when i got the car was a cold air inductions intake.. ran me 400$.. then i got a tune from jeanetty.. for 500$ i think. it was 900$ that woke up this car..

Are you planning on staying n/a? I prefer remaining n/a personally. Here are some of my notes on popular power adders for n/a application and RWHP gained min/max. I'm sure some have seen less or greater gains, but I think the majority fall within these parameters. I haven't considered meth kits or FI, but that is where the real power is ultimately.

CAI/ROTOFAB/ADM AIR INTAKE = 8-15RWHP
LT HEADERS = 15-35RWHP
REMOVE CATS, RESONATOR & MUFFLERS = 5-15RWHP
CAM = 40-80RWHP
PORTED HEADS = 10-30RWHP
UDP = 4-8RWHP
DYNO TUNE = 8-20RWHP
GEARS = NOT A POWER ADDER, BUT ADDS TORQUE THROUGH TORQUE MULTIPLICATION

hey bubba, now that i read that useful info.... i have a question...
i have a tune set up from JRE.. LT headers, a CAI intake, and only mufflers (cat deleted)

how much rwhp should i expect from all of this?

My best guess would be anywhere from 35-60RWHP, 35 being very conservative.

Being it's 2010 your warranty is most likley gone. So have at it the Pocket books the limit :) headers, tune, exhaust, gears, supercharger, nitro.

Do you just have HIDs or did you convert to RS headlights or something along those lines?

Hi, thank you! Does it matter what tune I get and will that void my warranty?
How much gain did you get from the CAI and tune?

Thanks!

What does n/a mean?

Naturally aspirated ... as in no forced induction like turbo/supercharger

Eventually maybe, but right now I don't have the funds for that.
