Bought a 2014 1LT a few months ago, going in today to see about a flowmaster dual exhaust and a CAI Inc intake. I'd like to get the VMAX ported throttle body but not sure on hp/tq gains, if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated. I mostly want to see more torque out of my LFX

FYI on exhaust for the convertible...
Not sure if this is new but was looking into exhaust options for the convertible and due to the bracing there are limited options for mufflers. I inquired with Magnaflow and found out they have a cat back for the 3.6 convertibles that includes the resonated X to control drone. Part #15353. It may be a new option as the literature notes 2010-2015 Camaro 3.6L. |

Is anyone still replying on this forum? I was going to ask about the Fabberge twin-turbo upgrade. Also, tell me if this is a totally ludicrous idea...but the 2016 CTS-V is rumored to be having a sick twin-turbo LF4 engine. Is there any remote possibility of or reason to attempt an LT4 twin-turbo engine swap with the LFX?

Really good place to go to when in needs of areas to get your desired item. I Will also be beginning a potential business relationship with a company that wants to get into the Camaro world and would like to start with my 2014 2LS. Once parts have begun to be made and are up for sale I will update you.

I just did the Trifeca performance tune to my 2012 LFX and it really made a difference. I was quite surprised.
I added an Injen Cold Air Intake and a Heartthrob Catback exhaust to it. I put those into the details when I ordered the tune so they can take advantage of the aftermarket parts. According to all the specs, I should be in the 380 Horsepower range and well, it feels like it's a lot faster. The biggest thing I noticed today on my way into work is that on the highway I have a lot more power throughout the gear range. I used to downshift 2, sometimes 3 gears when I needed to get on it, but now I can do 1 or 2 and it seems to have the power needed in the lower RPM range. I suppose if I dropped to 3, I might even have that much more.........guess we'll see. I am impressed! Once I have the time, I will have a dyno done so I know the exact gains from the stock 323 HP. People make fun of the fact I got the V6 and not the V8. I wanted the V6 because I knew it was a much higher tech motor instead of old skool big displacement. At some point I plan to get forced induction.....but I need to upgrade brakes and clutch first. |

How did you arrive at this number? You can't just add the claimed gain of each aftermarket part to the original HP number. Different upgrades add power at different points across the RPM range. The gains are not all at the exact same RPM and thus cannot simply be added together to get a new peak HP.

Stock at the WHEELS these typically push out around ~250-260hp on a dynojet. I think your guess is a little inflated. Realistically, if the tune is any good, I'd guess you might hit around 285 if you're lucky, unless you get on a "feel good" dyno and get something higher.

SLP intakes that aren't on list
There is an intake by SLP that isn't on the list, part #'s 620045(blue filter) and 620046(black filter). It uses a conical filter, and supposedly allows you to retain the factory washer-fluid bottle location. This intake is for the LFX.
I don't have one, and haven't read about many people who do, but it seems like it might be worth adding to this list. |

Well I have trolling this site for over a year. I currently have a 2012 Camaro LS. I wanted the V8 but after careful consideration figured I would have more fun playing with the V6 model. Plus, our V6 Camaros currently lead the Pony Car race between the Mustang and Challengers. Well I have had no regrets. To date I have only added three items to my Camaro:
SLP Loudmouth Axel Back Exhaust Cold Air Intake (Went cheap, but plan on upgrading) Helix Throttle Body Spacer What I plan on doing next is installing an air intake manifold spacer and possibly a new performance throttle body. We are so limited due to the LFX engine. Besides what I have stated on here, is there any other upgrades to engine performance that we can do? Thanks for reading and all the guidance provided in these forums. |
