For a long time I've been thinking of what exactly goes into putting aftermarket parts into an engine.

Here's a list of what I want to do to my future 2010 Camaro 1SS Manual:


Edelbrock/Hooker Headers, Ceramic Coated, Full Length or Long Tube

A big camshaft that makes the exhaust really "lopey and deep" sounding
(suggestions are welcome, just put it into terms I'll understand)

Magnaflow/Borla Catback Exhaust (preferred with 3.5" or 4" tips)

And maybe 3.73 Gears, not too sure, if any of you have something better in mind suggest it with an explanation.


These aren't exactly hardcore modifications, but I'd like to know if there are any lingering problems with doing this too the car. Like too much torque to the transmission or something that could REALLY put a damper on my parade. Obviously I'm going to have to get a tune.

 

Maybe you should look at what companies like Lingenfelter and Hennessey are doing to their 2010's. Hennessey has the 550 (500+ hp) as a base all the way up to their 940 HP monster. Lingenfelter's getting 500+ hp just out of a intake, header and recurve if I remember correctly.

Btw, I'm probably butchering the way those names are spelled.
