Cam the car, or just headers... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Contemplating on building the camaro. Just cant decide whether to do a FBO setup, or just doing headers. I have a fully built c6z, and the car is my DD.

Thoughts.

I daily my FBO 15 1LE it just made 476 RWHP and 456 TRQ on e85. See the thread a few post down.

I'm 478 heads and cam. Now th400 with 4.10s lol. Depends on what you want to daily.

RupertPupkin · 01-03-2017, 02:56 PM

I daily the Camaro..

Nothing wrong with daily driving a cammed car. Just depends on how aggressive you go and who tunes it if you will love it or hate it.

Or leave the stock cam and bolt a blower on. That would be my choice on a car that is driven every day in traffic and all. Drives stock untill you want the power.

Headers and a decent tune

just my .02 more experienced members can chime in and provide you with better info.

Yes. My comment was about how hardcore of a ride your willing to put up with. I can daily a spooled rear, not many would want to.

JCunningham · 01-04-2017, 12:52 AM

im cammed 226/230 .626/.626 113+4. I dont DD it but there would be no problem DDing it. it drives almost like stock. 477hp 465ftlbs. you need a inertia dyno to tune it for drivability.

Avenging Orange · 01-04-2017, 01:39 PM

Not to nitpick, OP.......but you say you already have a built C6. My guess is you would already know the answer.

If I did, I wouldnt be asking.

WHAMMO · 01-04-2017, 10:33 PM

I'd only do boltons since you already have a built Vette. I try to keep my DD as reliable as I can. You would have the sound and stock like reliability.
