so im about to get a fat *** paycheck and i want to do something to the camaro i was thinking headers or cam i want to deff get the most power for my money any idea what would be the best bet

 

I would say cam. Thats just me, though.

 

Headers before cam. Or, get both and then get a tune. Or possibly new gears.

 

id agree with headers befor cam. or if possiable get both.

 

If it is a daily driver and especially if it's year-round, focus on suspension/chassis -- shocks, sways, welded Subframe Connectors & Strut Tower Brace (especially these since you have a 'vert)... Then you will see how much more fun to drive the car and corner carve, etc. -- you will notice it every day.

 

i was also thinking suspension i want to drop my car around an inch or so i just got my rims on and theres too much space in the wheel


well i think its settled suspension is the next upgrade now any good but reasonably priced companies to go thru i will have around $300 to work with

 

^ I would do the welded SFCs and STB first -- it will help out your 'Vert chassis rigidity a lot. I did both of these chassis mods first on both cars, next for me is shocks on both (have 1 of 2 sets, Bilstein HDs are on nat'l backorder, just have to install the Koni's on my 'Vert).

Go for these two,

STB:

SFCs:

You can get both in your budget, with money for welding too! I think you will love how much more solid the car feels, and cornering will be much more fun and tight/true.


What size rims did you get? Must be different than your pic...

 

well i can weld so theres no money there and the rims are 18s but i think i want to get them powder coated black or a really dark gray they came with the car and the previous owner neglected them and the chrome is pitting bad


tires are Kuhmo Ecsta AST 225/40R18

i also want to do away with these fugly *** drums

 

FirehawkJeff <http://www.tacreationsusa.com/> on eBay has brake conversion kits -- used his for my '95 3.4L (now sold).

I don't recall if an electric welder cuts the mustard, SFCs may need to be TIG welded...

 

MIG welding will be just fine for the SFC's. And as with any welding you need to make sure that you get proper penetration and what have you or the job will fail on you. Use TIG or MIG which ever suits you and have fun. Gas and Stick Arc is not a good thing on cars.
