$5000 to spend. What Mods? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have an L99 and was originally going to get headers and a maggie but have backed off from $10,000 to $5000. I already have a Corsa cat-back. What Mods would be the most bang for my buck and please give me estimated rwhp with your suggestions. Thanks for the help.

What he said! We have an L99 w/ American Racing Headers, SLP II exhaust, tune and soon will have cam and ported heads with upgraded springs, valves, etc. Can't wait!

It's going to be a beast!

You could get pretty close to what I did...

Huck1974 · 06-14-2010, 08:48 PM

headers, used procharger, injectors, tune= 550rwhp under 5 grand

VADER SS L99 · 06-14-2010, 08:51 PM

Save a couple G's and get a Maggie, KB, or Edelbrock supercharger.

let me know when you find all that floating around used on the cheap.

Not what my car gets. He asked for under 5 grand

jrpxxii · 06-14-2010, 09:06 PM

I have exactly what you need. A like new TVS2300 with 3 different pulley sizes to choose from and upgraded fuel injectors and everything that comes in a brand new kit. I have all instructions, unused intake tube from magnuson. It comes with a 2.80, 3.20 and a 3.80 pulley and belts for your needs of horsepower. You wont find a better deal for the money or the power that is available. It has 2000 miles on it and still has 2.5 years of warranty.

If he saves a couple thousand on top of his 5K than he can get one of those SC's

New Era OTR intake, ARH system, cam kit and underdrive pulley/belts, and a tune, adds 100 rwhp, lots of fun! Just my opinion anyway!

jrpxxii · 06-15-2010, 08:27 AM

I still have the best deal for you. You can achieve nearly 200 rwhp with my maggie and the different pulleys you will get and it is an easy install without tearing motor apart.
