i have an extra 2000 to spend after the paint job, and i was wondering what i could do to the motor to get some extra power? already has 3.73 gears out back, cat back exhaust, cold air intake, hyper tech power tuner. i was thinkin about goin with a 58mm intake manifold and throttle body with 2.02 heads if i could find them but would i have to find another cam or can i still run the stock one? or is there any thing else i could do to get the most bang for the buck?

 

Bigger valves and more fuel you'll also need a cam to make kit work right.

A proven kit is a good way to go.

Something like this........

Or this and get your stock intake ported.........

ummm...HEADERS FIRST
/thread

 

oh...and edelbrock stuff sucks on our cars.

throttle body would be a waste of your money at this point

 

Without headers any internal engine mods will return pretty minimal gain. I'm going to agree with Wham on everything this round

 

i understand headers are a must for more air flow. i am looking to keep the cats in the stock location.what would you guys recommed for headers? i don't want to go long tube if i have to move everything around. trying to keep it simple

 

shorty's then...make sure they're coated if not stainless

 

You guys are starting to tempt me ! Would you need heads ported with the bigger valves to install a cam like this after i install some LT headers ? and could i keep the stock TB or do i need a bigger one ? Begining to consider a little more than stock. Also can i pull the cam while its still in the Camaro and leave the A/C condensor alone ? Didn't want to pull the heads.

223/230 .565/.565 112 LSA. - 1700-6100 RPM
Largest emissions friendly cam. Pretty mild idle and still able to work with stock gears and factory converter in F or Y body. Needs small stall and gears for B body. Comparable to GM Hot Cam and Crane 846 cam.

i see you made to lloyd elliotts site, lol. no, you would not need heads for a cam like that...however you'd need to get a whole mess of other parts to handle that cam such as valve springs, rockers, pushrods, guideplates, etc...and you have to move the condenser around to get the cam out...its just the way it is
