Starting my quest for ~550 rwhp NA - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TommyTSquared · 08-11-2010, 12:10 PM

Now that college is out of the way and I've actually got a real life job I'm starting to want to get some things going as far as work goes on my car. First comes the grunt work of getting everything planned out. The Nickey Chicago Stage II package would seem to fit the needs pretty well, but living around the DFW area I know there are some good shops out this way and was hoping they could chime in so we could plan something out to get me as close to 550 rwhp NA and on pump gas as we can.

If anyone installs that package, has something similar, etc. I'd love to hear from you. Also, any recommendations from those that have had work done in the area are appreciated.

Thanks

(Been away from these forums for far too long it seems... feels good to be back!)

Yeah Tommy, I will vouch for Whiteside. They have done some work for me and they are awesome.

I don't think so.

I have actually down at Snapka's in Corpus Christi - was an incredible car. The college grad program sounds interesting, I'll be sure to call.
