HELP!! Need more...Horse Power

[GixxerDan]

I own a (rather stock) 99 SS camaro. I have done the pulley , added a cat back, 4:10 gears, and a air lid from SLP...Can someone give me some other mods that will boost performance?

[NHRAMAN]

HEADERS for sure....LS6 Intake also.

[NightHawk]

A programmer or LS1 edit would be a good move as well. Assuming you have an M6 not an A4 due to the 4.10 gears you put in, otherwise I'd say a high stall converter.

+1 on the headers and LS6 intake

[GixxerDan]

I am looking at a pair of Kooks long tubes and a LS6 intake now...and yes my car is a 6 speed..

[Z Fury]

With the headers and LS6 intake, you are almost done with the "cheap" mods. You could always spray it...

[Pro Stock John]

Yeah headers, LS6 intake and a tune would be the end of the phase I mods. I'd also like to see someone take a car like that and install LS6 valve springs, and then see if it pulls past (on the dyno) where that car would stock. If you could shift it a little higher you'd run a little quicker and faster.

or u could by my modded 98 SS

[GixxerDan]

Too far past that to buy another car but, thanks for asking...

[GixxerDan]

Anyone have a LS6 intake?

[Coach 02 A3 Z/28]

Another vote for headers. With the headers you are going in someone to tune your car. Good luck.

get a nice set of kooks...the sound alone will satisfy you (for now)

[Cvaught]

There is only one way to go about this. First off, throw some long tubes on there and a nice Y-pipe. Next throw on a new intake manifold, the LS6 is a good bang for the buck. That ought to net you a good amount of horsepower.

[GM Junkie]

One more for headers and intake. I went with pacesetters though, because at the end of the day I still got the power increase that the high end guys got, and I had enough money left over to buy a cam.
Oh and do it right hook an H pipe up to those new headers, sounds sooooooooo much better than a Y pipe, and although I have no numbers (yet) it made a pretty big SOTP difference.

Two days ago, I ordered pacesetters and the sweet thunder true dual setup from TSP, and am having a forum member send me his LS6 intake in a week.

If you end up wanting pacesetters, TSP has them the cheapest usually, but they are currently back ordered.

[AlexTheGreat]

A nice set of longtubes, off road y-pipe, LS6 intake, ported MAF ends, and thats about it. Then it's time for a cam!

[Rede]

I would look beyond pacesetters myself, but that's just my 2bits

[Sharpe]

You'll need tires. Nitto makes the most common choice of "drag radials" for the street. They may not be quite as sticky as Micky T's DR's and require long warm-up times, but they last a lot longer and wont be quite as bad in the rain or cold.

After what you have listed and an LS6 intake and headers (Kooks are a great choice, as are QTP and American Racing, a.k.a. "ARH"), you'll want to start in on the suspension. :thumb:

Personally, I wouldn't get a tune or springs until you get a cam. You'll have to change both at that time anyway.

Give a sponsor a call and ask them what you should do next! :thumb: Futral's F13 cam is making 400 rwhp in basic bolt-on cars used for daily driving! Byunspeed makes some killer deals and won't steer you wrong.

I made 400 rwhp cam only with my TSP Torquer2. And that's with a 12 bolt and big ass 19'' wheels.

[Discerning]

Make sure you install some SFCs if you intend on taking her to the track with some sticky tires.
Whether you want to or not, you might end up getting a 12bolt or 9 inch as well ;)

Headers and a ported throttle body will help a ton. Driver mod is the best mod bar none however.
