What are the logical steps for up to 100-200 more horsepower? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What are the logical steps for up to 100-200 more horsepower on a 2013 ZL1 A6 coupe? I know there are some experts on here on what makes the most sense for modifications for this platform. I also want it to sound better and have headers and high flow cats eventually, but I'm guessing those should be later on in my build and I should worry about getting more air and fuel into my motor first before getting it out.

Let's here it. I'm not really looking for brand name parts or anything like that. I'm only looking for ideas like ... add a pulley first, and a air cleaner second, and so forth ...

Thanks!

Pulleys, headers, injectors, Intake, boost-a-pump, cam. And tune.

That will do it.

If you're looking to do it in stages:

- Cold air intake first
- Then pulley(s), cam, injectors and tune. You might as well do the cam when the balancer is off, and at that point you'll need injectors.
- Headers and another tune last...unless you have the cash to add them with the pulley and cam.

It's cheaper to do it all at once rather than in stages. The first thing you should do is a Cold Air Intake. A pretty big bang for the buck.
