Looking for some education. 99z28
So I have decided to make me a sleeper. I have a true cold air intake and a racing exhaust. That's all that's been done so far. My viper enthusiasts buddy said next best thing (he would do) is get a dynamic tune with a fairly nice chip. Either way I don't know what would be my best move to make a true OMG sleeper. Sudgestions?

lol, you have a camaro ls1,,, i dont think sleeper is on the menu for you. sorry, you would need to look at turbo or nos to get a real sleeper effect. to get the most from what you have i would recommend a dyne tune, if cost or access is an issue a mail tune at a place like Home | PCM for Less i prefer this one http://www.lt1pcmtuning.com

To do a Dyne tune would i have to provide the chip? I was looking at some turbos as well. But you're right, z28 kind of gives it away, but I'm not going to do anything to the body. For instance, my hood doesn't have the scoop in it and keeping factory rims. No spoiler so on and so forth.

To say "sleeper" is nebulous at best. It would mean one thing to me and perhaps something else to you.
if you want a sleeper, go get a 2003 Buick Century as they had the same weight of about a Mustang as the same year.
Then, convert it to rear wheel drive with a LS and you have a true sleeper
If your goal is to make your Camaro faster, are you willing to invest money equally because as you increase torque and HP, you must upgrade the drivetrain and suspension.
With the LS1, get a free-flowing exhaust, cold air intake and a tune. That's basic down-and-dirty bolt on stuff.

Sleeper to me means not knowing it has been touched. Remove the Z emblems, quieten down the exhaust , hit it with a NOS kit (I think the LS1 can handle a 150 shot without anything special as the computer compensates for the fuel), Do a little suspension work so that you put all the power you can to the ground.
Turbos and superchargers are great and a ton of fun but once you fire it up, everyone knows and the gig is up.
