Im sure this question has been asked plenty of times, but i need a slightly more detailed answer. Im going to my local dealer, Quality Chevy (http://www.qualitychevy.com) to be checking out their fairly large camaro inventory. (seems as they are not selling enough)
I plan on modding this vehicle with boost later its in life. I know the V8 is pretty much a LS block and lots of information is available. I just do not know much about the V6, how will it be able to handle a healthy amount of boost?

Thanks guys!

 

Don't know what kind of "boost" you mean. Nitrious? Magna Charger? Cam? Exhaust? Intake? If you have a choice, it's a no brainer - the V8 is the only way to go for power, torque and sound. A V*8 will have plenty of room for mods too.
The car will hold a higher value down the road as well.

Why have the looks without the muscle? Go V8 Of course, you will need the money to back up that choice.

 

if u can afford the insurance get the v8.

 

If your gonna put boost on it, then you obviously want speed. So start big with the V8. With the v6 you'll have to work your way up to the v8's starting HP. It's a muscle car, it deserves the v8

 

this is in 5th gen, so hes talking about the 3.6L 300hp v6.

I dont know that enough mods have been developed for that platform for us to really know its weak spots yet. depending on its compression ratio, it will most likely handle 8psi (which is kinda standard for stock cars) w/ no problem. higher compression (around 10:1) and maybe you will want to stay around 6psi. im sure in the not too distant future well see guys who have swapped out internals making 500+rwhp w/ these motors. thats exactly what happened w/ the 4.0L mustang
