Next mod ?!

I have a cold air intake, catch can and an axle back exhaust installed. But I'm itching for the next upgrade, any suggestions?

I want to do that when I get my headers and the rest of the exhaust, that way it's a big hp gain at once

Not to burst your bubble but 12'+ v6 camaros cannot get headers due to the integrated cylinder head down pipe....look into high flow cats (not sure if they are out yet)

I would suggest the Ported throttle body and tune (unless you want to keep your warranty)

if you have a 12 with the LFX headers are no longer a option. Maybe for a small gain go for a ported throttle body.

Throttle bodies only effect torque not HP

Check out the graph for the LFX throttle body. It gained a total of 5HP and 9FT/LB of Torq. It isn't much but it does lead to a better throttle response.

It all depends on what kind of upgrades you want... interior, exterior or performance?

We did the axle back first, then new wheels (22" and chrome), we did hood spears and gill inserts, new neoprene car seat covers, tint....the list goes on and on.

HAPPY MODDING!

Ported throttle body and/or high flow cats will kick things up a notch. If you have an air intake with an open bottom the addition of a scoop will add some power too.

Thanks for the help. I thought I read somewhere you could get headers made for it, I could be wrong. And as far as upgrades I'm mainly looking for performance. But if anyone has any good wheel suggestions I'd love to hear it!

A flux capacitor would bring it up a few HP.
