Thoughts on my setup? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

wheels5 · 03-14-2010, 12:12 AM

New to the site, looking for some advice on my setup. I have a 2SS Auto.
In the next month or so this is everything that will be in the car.
TVS 2300 with a 3.4 pulley
American Racing Headers system with magnaflow mufflers
LMR CAI
LMR Cam kit
Yank S3200 Converter
Coolingmist methanol kit ( cmgs-fs i think it is)
KB boosta pump
Properly sized injectors
and then obviously will get it tuned.

After all this is done, that will be about it so my question for you guys is if i am missing anything, after this point i am just looking for it to run properly and could use some advice as to what i need to do to keep the car from blowing up basically. I was told to consider working on my rear end as it won't hold up for long, looking at every aspect of the car is there anything else i should be looking at???

Tighten up the rear suspension/diff to handle the HP's and a set of coil over shocks.

I essentially have the same as you are getting but with a 3.2" pulley. I thought about heavy duty axles but haven't done it. I did put in BMR trailing arms, tunnel brace and pfadt sway bars. I also have a ls9 clutch but obviously I have a manual. I wouldn't buy axles unless you break one.

As d69Chris said, for the extra power you need better suspension to put the power down, otherwise you'll risk of loose of control with extra power and no traction. Power and suspension go hand to hand!

Thanks for your input so far, appreciate it!

HP axles
suspension upgrade - swaybars, lowering springs or Coilovers, and poly bushings for the rear (cradle and carrier) at minimum.

Tires if you are planning on racing it. The S/C will overpower the stock pirelli's.
Good for burnouts with the stock ones. Most people are using 315 nitto's for the rear on wider rims.

I'm pretty close to that set-up, minus the converter and cam. I do have the 3.4 pullely and the coolling mist kit (that one you listed). I decided against the converter for now because it doesn't hook with the stock converter. I couldn't imagine a launch at 3200. After a few track outings I may drop one in. The cam may put you right at the limit with the stock internals. I'm at 550/555 withouth the cam and stopped their so I could reduce the chance of a failure, but I do have a 3.0 pulley if the current set-up doesn't go fast enough. The only other thing I added was a set of 18" M & H drag radials. The stock tires are a joke and would be a waste at the track. Other than that I'm 100% stock. Its been fine on the street with the stock suspension. Even when you beat the snot out of it. You just need to know how to drive.

I want to try this out at the track and at that point I'll know for sure what needs attention. Good luck. You'll have fun.

I would have to agree.
It is best to swap the axles, and toss in the suspension upgrades you can afford for the rearend.
