hey guys im new to camaro's but ive always wanted one . i bought this 1999 orange convertable Z28. all i really know about the car is that it has a LS1. it was wrecked and fully rebuilt and only needs to be painted and i bought it for 4500 dollars, it has 72000 miles on it. ive always had manual cars and this one is automatic but it feels like it still has a lot of potiential. i was just wondering if any one could give me some tips on what to do to get the most power out of this car for easy cheap mods just for right know? because you all know that every type of car has there little things you can do that make a big difference.

THANKS

 

do some searching...you'll find the answers to your questions numerous times

 

gears and exhaust are pretty cheap and will get you going faster and sounding better

 

and fyi in most cars but patiuclary forth gen camaros autos are faster....

 

im glad that most autos are faster because im tired of manual cars i just wanted something that i could drop the top in and cruise in, until of course some rustang wants a piece LOL. yea im wanting a set of gears but which would be the best for the most power with out totally destroying my gas milage?

 

3.73 is the max that you'll want to get for a street car w/ an auto, you could just drop in the whole rear end of a manual F-body and go for 3.42, plus, that way you don't have to worry about whether they're set up right.

 

ok ill probably go for the 373 but thanks for the tips

 

on the gears for the rear end i was talking to someone today and they said i should put 410's in it. but i would rather take some ones advice that has had mor experience with camaro's.

 

if you get 4.10s you can kiss gas mileage goodbye and it wont be as streetable as it wouldwith 3.73s... but it would have some kick *** pick up.

 

i appreciate the info ill probably go with 4.10's because i stay around town mostly so gas shouldn't be as horrible as if i drive a long distance every day.
