What to do?
 
I love reading about the ZL1 and SS folks doing their upgrades, and i'm getting jealous. I can't do the majority of those on my LFX V6.

My exhaust (i believe) is upgraded, unless GM put large mandrel bent tubes in. And, of course, i can install a CAI, but what else? The only throttle body i've seen to upgrade mine was from Overkill, but I can't get a response from them anymore.

What suggestions do you guy have for a guy who really wants to go and show his RS? :help:

With the V6 there is so much room between the radiator and engine that could be done.

You should get a a Vitesse Throttle Controller. It won’t really add any power, but it will feel like a good bit of power has been added and it gets rid of the throttle delay. People say the VTC makes their car feel much quicker.

Their is always the ported intake manifold and manifold spacers. Add a Elite catch can and CAI.its pretty easy to do a custom engine cover.. I wasn't really happy with the V6 cover so I made a V8 one fit .in the process in making it light up ..it also gives nice clearance for when i go with a bigger Throttle body. Also using 91 consistently made a difference . the speed controller was fun..but past few months started to trip.. causing degraded power mode. It's currently not installed and no more issues . Some other things that I did to the car that made it a lot more enjoyable.was Upgrading to a ZL1 steering wheel.. front and rear ZL1 sway bars and tower brace the Brembo brakes.. there is more that I would like to do the exhaust but for now I just have a muffler delete with Quad tips and it sounds pretty decent actually.. I would imagine a good tune and some nitrous would definitely do the trick as well.

What are your goals? Daily driver or only used for the track? Focusing more on cosmetics, suspension or performance?

Performance: Intake, Overkill throttle body, Ported intake manifold, intake manifold spacer, Overkill E85 kit, downpipes, tune, nitrous, Overkill supercharger, weight reduction

Suspension: Lighter wheels and sticky tires, sway bars, trailing arms, coil overs or springs

Save up and get what you really want...a ZL1

Save up and buy an SS.

I know you probably see this enough on the Facebook groups, but the amount of money you'd have to spend to modify the V6 to satisfy you in the long run could easily be put towards an SS.

Everyone saying to do overkill this and that when the dude won’t even get back to him is crazy. Sounds like you are limited to a CAI at this point.

Also, RS is an appearance package. Not a trim. You have an LT.

Do some cosmetic stuff to make it your own. A v6 Camaro doesn't have much fanfare at cruise nights unless its sporting some nice visual upgrade. Or major engine mods.

Mods
 
Get rid of the cheap factory wheels and get some nice ones with plus size tires. It will feel and look like a different car
