hello everyone I'm looking for my next set of mods and was wondering what to do next and what order and what to do for the biggest gains.

options
overkill e85 tune
solo high flow cats
ported intake manifold
vmax ported tb
or anything you guys suggest

pnwdan · 11-20-2018, 09:47 AM

Long tube headers, high flow or no cats

Never mind I didnt see the non SS part

The camaro show · 11-20-2018, 09:51 AM

BAD DAB · 11-20-2018, 10:08 AM

+1 on the LT headers and HF cats and tune.

Can't do headers on the LFX. Ho flos and tune agreed on those.

As qcman stated, the engine is a LFX which didn't Havre exhaust manifolds so no long tube headers in the camaro show's future.

As for the list of options, I'd wait to get the tune until last, but I don't know that E85 is really going to do that much for you unless it's a part of bigger future plans. Are you still looking to add forced induction down the road?

I'd just take off the existing mods and put it back in near stock trim, trade it for a V-8, and put them on that. It'll give you a nice look, and a better platform for performance/sound/cool factor, etc, etc. Did I mention to get the V-8? Thats important. Cool headlights btw, OP.

id go with a rear differential upgrade with 3.91 gears

The camaro show · 11-20-2018, 12:29 PM

I am still looking to do forced induction down the road if I go that route, I have wanted to get a c7 vette since prices are dropping but my insurance is high enough being 19 and can't even think what it would be then

The camaro show · 11-20-2018, 12:30 PM

can you tell me a bit more about 3.91 gears like what I'm looking at price wise?

Chris49066SS · 11-20-2018, 12:38 PM

You can get 3.91s from Jannettyracing's website for very little $$$, thats where I got mine.

Well, basically what you want is a conversion to an SS differential and install the 3.91 gear in it before you install it into your car. (unless you get lucky like me and find a Z28 differential that already has the 3.91 gears or even a 1LE one that comes with them as well).

It will wake up your car

Around $400 in parts & fluids and another $500-$800 to install.
