congrats on a beautiful car!

did you do the fuse pull and put 93 octane in it, no mod's done yet to mine and it will smoke the tires. with the nannies off

kenny45 · 11-05-2013, 03:34 PM

Thanks for the suggestions and the congrats!

1.It probably does have bad gas in it. I never thought of good gas as being a cheap mod but I will start there.

2.I did have traction control off. I had a little bit better of a burnout (later/off camera) but nothing like just some all out nastiness that 400HP should pull.

3. What's this fuse pull thing?

4. Do the Doritos go in the gas tank or glovebox?

Go to the V8 exhaust bolt on section... I think that's where the fuse pull sticky is. Should find it at the top of the page. Also, the Doritos, they either go directly into YOUR gas tank, or your cars glovebox to go in your gas tank when your closer to empty!

LOL! I sure hope that thing has more to it than that! That's about what my V6 Charger will do..

Rock on though, SWEET car! You'll definitely learn all the tricks in the book to get your Camaro running like hell on these forums. Best forum on the net.

I'd like to start with bolt-ons and something that kicks me in the seat of the pants. Anyways, I'm excited to finally have my dream car.

Honestly, I would suggest you throw one of our tunes on it. It will install in a few minutes, can easily be turned 100% back to stock, and it will easily give you that extra TQ that your looking for (amazing HP & TQ increases throught the RPM range). We haven't officially released it yet because of the insane volume the C7 has created for us, but PM me and I can work out a special "pre-sale" deal with you. I have them 100% ready to ship,

Turned 100% back to stock, without leaving traces for the dealer to find?

The nice thing is it requires no tuning and does not mess with your warranty, if that's important to you

Let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help!

This is a great place to start. CAI's intake looks great, installs easily, and definitely improves throttle response considerably. I recommend the Apex Air Scoop as well. Make the CAI even better.

I called Pfadt Racing and spoke with Eric who was actually the guy who posted above. I ended up going with their tune; I didn't really think I was going to buy anything this soon but it sounds pretty badass. I will probably add a cold air intake down the road so thanks for offering that, CAI. I expect to get this tune in the mail by Friday so I will report back then.

Do these work on 2010 2LT/RS vehicles as well?
