Hey guys, im jsut starting out with my camaro. Im curious, if i buy a differnt cam for my LT1 would i have to mod everything else? If i dont have to what type of cam would you sugest?

 

you really want to do boltons before you go for a cam. if the intake and manifolds are too restrictive openning up flow in the valves isnt going to do you a whole lot of good.

the lt1 guys around here usually recommend dynatech headers for a good balance for power/price. start with Long tube headers, an intake, and headerback exhaust. there is a write up which goes through all these boltons and your options stickied in the 4th gen section

 

thanks man, i really appreciate it

 

I agree with Specter, your first step really should be a cold-air intake since the stock one utterly sucks on the early 4th gens. After that you need to focus on exhaust. I recommend Kooks first, and as Specter said Dynatech for a close second for headers. You're probably going to be best off getting a good cat-back exhaust system before you get headers. Intake and cat-back will take up enough of your money right now...

 

thank you. I'm really glad I signed up here, u really are very helpful.

 

hey everyone i need some serious help!! so first off i just bought a 95 z with 90000 owned by an older gentlemen which has had something done including bore of .20 high volume oil pump bigger oil pan high volume water pump new opti and a mild comp cam and a complete k&n intake. The wierd thing is that he did all these things with completely stock exhaust stock TB Stock intake manifold and no head work besides the needed for the cam. I am wondering what mods would wake up my car the most with these other mods considered and by the way it is an m6

 

headers to the last guy

 

Get your cat-back exhaust first, then go and get some good Long tube headers. Don't mess with the intake manifold and only mess with a new TB if you go for a 58mm. You're not going to need the new TB until you're making a good amount of HP (350+ RWHP), so after you get your headers you can start thinking internals.

 

idk slvr...to me it depends if he's auto or stick. if he's auto i'd get a bigger stall before internals and new gears as well.

 

If he wants to keep in streetable a bigger stall is going to make it harder to keep it an easily streetable car. With gears you see a pretty decent hit to the wallet as far as gas goes, and if you're going to replace the gears you may as well invest $2000 in a ford 9"
