CAIs are a joke
Exhaust systems are only good for sounding powerful

im not a big fan of turbos for reliabilitty, especially on my daily driver camaro but alot of 5.3 LS swap guys are finding generic turbos for 750usd.

why cant we get a similar centrifugal supercharger for 750usd?
add in some high flow injectors , high fow fuel pump, and a tune and we could be cooking ;-)

cuz 8000+usd for typical v6 supercharger kits s totally negates ever buying a v6 since most stock v6 SC kits barely beat a stock v8

Supply and demand. I guess if someone wanted more from the heavy Camaro than what the V6 can give they had the very convenient option of a V8.

As far as I know Overkill's supercharger is the only off-the-shelf available one and is good for well over 500 WHP when combined with the custom Mace cams (bigger fuel lobe) and upgraded injectors and HPFP, easily dusting a stock V8. Although certainly not cheap.

Even without boost a modded V6 can hang with a stock V8 for all of first gear, and isn't too far behind in second (or still pretty even with the 3.91 gear swap), at which point you're typically going fast enough to go to jail.

You could also get rid of about 300 lbs and then you'll have about the same weight to torque ratio and better weight to power ratio

hey, while CAIs and exhaust systems do have limitations, considering a well-matched turbo setup like a garrett GT2860RS with supporting mods, such as deatschWerks high flow injectors, walbro high flow fuel pump, and a professional tune, can really provide significant performance gains... additionally you can ask questions on this website
