Control arms, toe links, cradle bushings, etc...... I am going to get the bushing kit from BMR for all the bushings. Drag radials? Definately a higher stall converter!!!!

drag radials are my next plan, i was thinking about a 17'' or 18" rear wheels but im really not sure.

I'm assuming LS3?

SrtWtF · 03-02-2016, 08:16 AM

What year camaro, and auto or manual

It's all in the numbers. Specs of heads and cam will tell the tale of what you end up with.

Ls3 manual, im bought the msd intake but ive heard better things about the fast intake

When doing a heads/cam swap we generally recommend a gear swap down the road. A cam can raise your power band and a gear compliments that very well. On auto cars this is were a stall helps out since you don't want to get stuck below 3k rpm. If you are looking for a good drag tire the 20" Nitto NT05R hook amazing and are a great option if you want to keep your 20s.

I don't have heads, highflow intake manifold, or TB and I made 464/439 on pump. (LS3). If you got an equivalent cam to BTR Stage 4... then your looking at/over 500rwhp. Just my .02

Real-time testing has busted this. Believe it or not, the MSD has better gains and costs less. It's just not a "FAST" tag-line so it hasn't gotten the publicity. First hand experience on a '08 Z06 - ported FAST intake dynoed less than when we installed MSD NON-ported manifold. Get the MSD ported and you'll have the best of the best, as far as gains.

You could get the power u want with cam/intake and exhaust. You should be fine with stock injectors and stock fuel lines. With TB, intake manifold, im sure youll break 500rwhp. Yet again itll depend on the cam you select.
