VECTOR Motorsports / ZZ Motorsports Stage II Camaro Package Completed !! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

its great gains for N/A but the price will probably have to drop before you sell a ton more. You should offer a econo package with different headers then the kooks. I'm sure they are nice, and who knows maybe they are even given you some extra hp then the average bear, but them things are incredilbly expensive. Maybe you got a deal I don't know but the prices that were posted on this forum where insane.

Having said all that I can't wait till you get started on the l99 and get that VVT put to the test!

Great work!

Can't you get it supercharged for only 2 grand more?

Last I checked the TVS2300 for the Camaro was $7500 installed plus the now unknown price to properly upgrade the fuel system.

The price does also include our ported LS3 intake manifold.

On top of that, you can't beat the sound of a cam in this new Camaro!!

So dos this car have kooks headers or ARH as per "ZZcamaro" http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26175

ARH Long-Tubes Installed on LS3 with Factory Mufflers
We finished the exhaust install early this afternoon. It took a total of 3 hours with some goofing off and painting (we painted the mufflers flat black). I highly recommend painting the mufflers while you are working on this sytem. It really changes the look of this car!

Is it a deferent car?. Can you enlighten me.

ZZcamaro · 06-23-2009, 05:21 PM

My car has arh log tubes on it. The stage II package will include Kooks headers.
If you want to move up the arh system it can be done but will slightly raise the price.

Rob Vega · 06-23-2009, 05:22 PM

IM LEANING MORE TOWARDS THE V6 SO ARE THERE ANY AFTER MARKET MODS DONE AND HOW MANY HORSES CAN WE GET OUT OF IT.

coptzr · 06-23-2009, 05:41 PM

Whats the in/out time frame and how far backlogged are you guys???

UsedTaHaveA68 · 06-23-2009, 05:44 PM

Kooks headers system - 2400
Comp Pushrods - 150
PSI valve springs - 450
Rotofab CAI - 450
Camshaft (guessing) - 450
----------------------------
Total Parts -3900

Prices were taken from mfr's websites, except for PSI springs which didn't list them so I found them somewhere else, and the camshaft, but that's about avg for custom cams. So you're paying about 1,050 for labor (based on the 4950 price listed) which is VERY GOOD. 1000 bucks to have them install your headers, hang your exhaust, put on the intake... and oh yeah... take all the accessories off the front of your engine, drain the coolant, take the heads off, take the timing cover/chain off, take the old valve springs off, put the new ones in, take the old pushrods out, put new ones in, unbolt the engine from its mounts, lift it up a little to take the camshaft out (possibly - maybe not I don't know what's involved on the Camaros, just guessing), take the old cam out, put the new one in, make sure it's degreed right, put the heads back on, put the timing chain/cover ack on, torque everything up, re-install the accessories, put new coolant back in, and tune it. And you people are griping about price? Get over yourselves. I remember one guy was quoted by his dealer the price for installing the GMPP HOT cam was 2500. TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to install a camshaft. No new valve springs. No new pushrods. No new headers or exhaust or anything like that. Pretty damn good I'd say. Nice job guys.

UsedTaHaveA68 ---- You forgot that you have to recover the AC coolant and then recharge the system. Do not need to remove and replace the heads with the cam and spring change.

MyNewSolstice · 06-23-2009, 06:07 PM

is this vector motorsports with Chriss who tuned my Solstice?

Croathlete · 06-23-2009, 06:20 PM

Can't wait to see what you guys can do with the L99!

the way I read it, it may only be headers to stock exhaust... not the rear section?? I think they should confirm the exact package for some of you guys.

shevyman · 06-23-2009, 07:32 PM

so they gained 26hp. people need to understand anything over base engine hp is gaining anything under would be called free up hp you lost. sad that the company who works on cars are clear with there words. but other then that that is good to see how little you have to do to get the power back.
