Next round of mods to get to 1000whp - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ticowarbird · 01-01-2020, 05:55 AM

Time for the next round of mods. Car is mostly driven on the street with the occasional trip to the strip and planning on going to Camarofest again and eventually FL2K and TX2K. Looking at a 427 resleeve from Texas speed with a Novi 2200x from ECS, custom radiator/fan combo from Dewitt's, rpm transmission transbrake for my 4L80E and maybe a bumpbox, an ngauge, and nitrous for special occasions.

Just need to figure out a few more things and would like some y'all's input. What intake manifold? should I go with an electric water pump? What else should I add

Here's the link to my garage to show what I have so far.

Not sure exactly on what to recommend for the manifold, but not sure if you've seen this. https://gwatneyperformance.com/the-u...dyno-shootout/

I've watched both that one and the shootout that Texas Speed did. Still not sure what to go with. trying to find a list of things that I'd need for the swap.

That looks like a solid build, the blower is more than capable. Ultimately the valvetrain will make the difference in both driveability, performance, and longevity at those power levels.

That's why I've reached out to a few builders to get their input. Trying to have this done in time for Camarofest this year.
