Default I need to know the maxium beefing up i can do to my camaro

I am looking to turn my 91 rs into a sick crazy fast hotrod, money is almost not an object I just need to know what would be the abolute best things i need to do to my car to get it running as fast a a camaro possibly can. lol

Looking for engine swap and all of the interal stuff... I would love something with a blower out of the top of my hood b/c that **** just turns me on


drivetrain

transmission (manual prefferably)

and just the estimated outcome of these endavors


I know you guys probally get this a lot but i am just tired of asking people at auto zone and hearing o just put a 350 in it and spark plugs and ****... im also tired of listening to a bunch of guys at school that think they know about cars tell me what to do to it... the truth is i dont know **** about cars and i have money and i have wanted my whole life to have this car i have owned forever finially be faster than any stupid rice burner on the street thank you for your time.

#1 language here is a must no need to swear so much, kids read this stuff, so at least hide it some. And when you say you have $$$$ how much do you have to play with? Cuz if you have it then what 94Z28 listed is it, if you have a budget then we know the limits and can tell you what the best bang for your buck is.Work with us here.

Default RE: I need to know the maxium beefing up i can do to my camaro



this is exacticaly what im looking for.... yet another dumb question though....

why does this engine GM Performance Parts 572ci / 720hp 'ZZ 572 Deluxe (http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...54816_-1_10763) Engine that says it has more horsepower cost less then the one above it? just wondering....

im looking at about a 20,000 dollar budget, but if you think that you guys could hook me up with something comprable that is cheaper i mean im always lookin to get the most out of my money... also like if i did those things would this car be like super sick? I know you guys probally get tired of threads like this b/c i bet there are a ton of people who join and post once (like me).. but thank you guys for your help and i will stop cussing.

Things to consider that also will take up a big chunk of your budget when increasing power levels to the extent you are talking about you will need to upgrade the whole car the factory rear end and trans will not hold up to that kind of power nor will the unibody you are talking at a minimum roll cage frame connections fuel tank pumps total after market rear end and trans if you dont do it youself I think over half of your budget could go into the formentioned items. Its a total package or its a waste of time.

The one that cost 's less doesnt come with a carb and is for race fuel only. You would be better off with a good GMPP small block crate motor. The big blocs will take your whole 20 and then some. What do you want fuel inj or carbed. Good idea is to visit the jegs and summit racing sites and have them send you a catalog. anything with 350+ hp will be a beast and fun to drive.

You also may want to consider the fact that GM's crate engines are a nice pile of parts but the workmanship lacks a little (to say the least). You would be better served dealing with a local respected engine builder that can give you what you want and do it right.

If you just want to beat the ricer down the road you don't really need to go crazy. What have you got to work with now? I understand that you have real budget, but wouldnt it be nice to do up the car and have some left over? Where do you plan on running the car - street or strip? That answer will determine most of the mods. You can get a nice top end and some exhaust work and have alot left over. Or you could completely redo the car and not even be legal to drive on the roads. So, what have you got? I know its a 91 RS, anything done to it so far?

Yea well first of all, it all depends on how much you want to spend and if you want to be able to drive it comfortably down the street or go all out spend close to 20 grand and only have it to run down some track. If I were you I'd go with either a crate 350 or 383. Beleive me you'd get more than enough horsepower from a new 350 or 383. You could spend $5000 on a 350 with 400 hp. And if you go with a setup that produces any more than 300 hp which you will your gonna need a new transmission to go along with that. TCI makes good trans. I'd go with a setup you can still drive on the street and beat everyone on the street. So if i were you i'd just go with 350 or 383 crate that produces anywhere from 350-500 hp, depending on how much your willing to spend. Get a strong tci transmission that will be able to hold that amount of power. Run a full exhaust: headers, ypipe, cat, muffer. And you'll definatley want to strengthen the body. Get some sub-frame connectors, control arms, and a front and rear sway bar. Then mayb some new springs and shocks(dont have to but why not handle a little better), and obviously some bigger tires to grip the ground. Good luck. Let us know what you end up getting.
