What do I do now?

[Spec]

Definitely enjoy driving it, guys. Its great at releasing stress...

Feels like a champ and I hope it keeps at it for many more years to come. I've been having thoughts about trading up to a ZL1, but driving it and looking at it and thinking about what I've done to it, I couldn't bare to part with it... at least not yet.

Cam and Long Tubes are definitely things I've been exploring. A bit less on the Cam because I'm not sure yet how much I'd want to change the way the car feels and sounds now. Long tubes might be something since I just passed Smog in December last year and am good for a while. LT's are very possible.

Yes, my seats are still cloth, but I've got a set of IGGEE seat covers on them right now... and I am considering getting some Recaro's. This is another item that might be coming in the near future.

Same with the gears as with the Cam on the 3.91's. Right now, cruising speed 70-80 comes with a harmonious hum that is intensely satisfying. Again, not sure I want to mess with that, even though I hear great things about them.

I've been considering a FAST 102mm Intake Manifold and upgrading to the BBK 102mm TB too... that could add a little something if I want to continue to squeeze something out of this NA beast. What would you guys' thoughts be on this?

Again, thank you for the feedback and compliments good people of this forum. Ya'll have some badass rides!!

This should be the shortest thread ever. You know what's next. Cam it, tune it, gear it, dump the shorties, (wasted your money on those in the first place) then Supercharge it and quit asking crazy ass questions.

Haha, that easy, eh?

Maybe I need a little encouragement.

Spec, ur car is absolutely amazing. Not sure if you have done any interior mods but ur exterior mods are spot on. Good job sir

If your just needing to spend money on a Camaro, you can help me mod my Camaro more. My mod money has run dry for awhile lol. Your car is awesome with all the mods you have done to it.

Hello Spec,

Your car is truly awesome. Here are a couple ideas:

1) Oil pump. It will be very interesting to see other's comments on this item, but from other posts I've read, if you oil pump goes south, you will have issues. Is an upgrade available and desirable? Not sure but putting it out there for discussion.

2) Air/Oil separators. AKA "catch cans." There is the factory separator that came with the 1LE, then there are the aftermarket options. Numerous threads on this topic.

3) A new stereo. Seems like there is now an aftermarket face kit that makes this modification more functional & elegant. See the relevant section of the forums.


Hope you continue to enjoy that car. You've done great with it!

Glue an empty beer can to the dash. Stuff a Camel pack with one smoke left into the defroster next to a match book with one striker left in it. Put a load of change across the dash.

I would stop spending. With the mods you already have you could be driving a zl1. I always let a car breathe better and post warranty, a tune is a good idea. Beyond that, every dime spent is money gone.

From everything I've learned, read, and what people recommend if you're going to go with a FAST 102mm intake/102mm TB, you need to get a cam first otherwise you're just wasting money. You'll spend $1,000 and get minimal rwhp gains.

Why wait until the warranty is over? I had 651 miles when the engine came out and was replaced with a LSX crate motor, supercharger, cam, headers, air intake, etc.
