I have headers, CAI and tune in the Camaro. CAI and Tune on the SS. The LS3 is just a better engine.

My 14 is the same way, with intake, secondary cat delete and LMS tune the car is a beast and just made for the highway.

I misread your post about gearing earlier. Sometimes it's hard to read these posts on a cell phone.

How much is it to get these cars cammed?

An L99 Camaro is about $4k. LS3 Camaro’s are about $1500 less because of all the DOD garbage on the L99. Does the auto SS sedan (damn that is such a stupid name!) have DOD?

Good to see GM didn’t give auto SS sedan owners the shaft.

I can concur with that statement as I was a fellow victim of dod lol. If the chevy ss was around when i was buying my camaro i probably would of went with the ss because of that reason.

I can’t wait to cam mine and get a proper top end on her.

The SS was built for one and only one reason. To be able to be qualified for NASCAR races.

Only 4-door sedans were allowed even though the racecars were built with two doors welded closed.

The idea was good as it emulated a prohibition era alcohol runner. Big sedans were used as they could fill the gas tank with grain alcohol and they removed the back seat to install a smaller fuel tank. Then they could outrace the border patrol. And, if necessary, they had a cable to empty the fuel tank, which, of course, caused the patrol cars to loose traction and skid off the road during a pursuit.

It was actually a good idea in those years and no, I never did that.

Actually they always ran 2 doors in NASCAR like the Monte Carlo and Thunderbird. There was quite the discussion in 1988 IIRC when Oldsmobile starting using a four dour 88 as they stopped making the 2 door.

Shoot, my fingers aren't as quick as my brain. That was during prohibition.
