I thought it would be cool to start a new poll although I'm not sure I'll start this poll right.

If you bought a used 5th gen bone stock camaro today, what would be the best bang for the buck mod you would install first?

L.T headers
Gears
Cat Back exhaust
Tune

Looks like the poll is at the top of the page. Not sure I did it right?

LT headers, intake and tune. Best first combo

Yep^

Headers and cat back....first. These LS need to breathe.
And a Tune.

If you can include a cam at the same time....please do that as well.

That should get you to ~ 465rwhp

Winter tires.

xstuntman · 01-19-2019, 07:42 PM

Agreed.

Other than the useless Zeroes the car is the way the Bowtie God intended it.
Why futz with something so good?

Wax, drive, smile, repeat.

I have all those mods and by far the most noticeable and therefore best bang for your buck is put a set of 3.91 gears in it.

2010reddevil · 01-20-2019, 01:20 AM

Depends if it's a M6 or A6. M6, headers, tune, CAI. If A6, stall converter, headers, tune and CAI.

391 gears and a stall converter would hurt the feelings of longtube headers and tune car owners.
