2010 camaro 2ss manual upgrades
Other then exterior modifications I have done nothing. I have 15,000$ to spend on modifying the engine / bolt ons. What should I buy? I have access to a garage thereforth I will be doing mods with the help of friends.

OH sounds like you can have alot of fun with that much! What are your goals for the car? Is it something you want to Drag on the weekends often? Maybe take it to your local race track? Or maybe it is a Daily driver that you want to be able to have fun in once in awhile. All these things and more is what is required for us to give you a good answer

Intake, Full Exhaust and Cam for starters.
Then supercharge it if you got enough money left over

Intake, Full exhaust, and a Twin Charged system (both a turbo and supercharger). I haven't seen one of those in a while.

Put your $15,000 into your bank account for a rainy day.

If you like drag racing, 15 grand is enough for a supercharger plus all the upgrades to make it work. But, it's not enough to do everything you need to support 625 RWHP. So think about the NA route.
Cam, headers, exhaust, cold air intake to start. That can get you 450 - 500 RWHP, and sounds great with lopey idle, and acceleration that screams out to the world. Now you'll still have plenty of budget left for suspension upgrades. Lower about an inch and big sway bars and hard bushings, toe rods and all that other suspension stuff. You still have enough left to get 18 inch wheels and drag radials. At this point, you still lots of money left over, so then think about some cosmetic stuff, like hex vents, spoiler, shift knob, and so on. When you're down to under five thousand left over, stop, and use that for repairs when things break. Oh yeah,I forgot the mention that. Something will break, and that's a guarantee, not a warning. You need that last five grand for axles, clutch, or whatever it is. But it will be something, and most likely, something expensive.

You own the car outright, correct?

For the love of G*d put on a short-throw shifter - unless something has changed, get the MGW shifter - with its heavy centering springs. Nothing else you add can add to the sheer joy of driving as much as this.
You're welcome. |

If I had that kind of money I would get the agp TT kit and 1300hp axles and a great clutch. Since I didn't have that money I just went na for now
