Default Looking to squeeze last bit of power

Tune is scheduled for Feb 28, mods are listed below, 02 Camaro SS 6 spd. I am looking to squeeze the last bit of power out of the car I can, maybe something I overlooked? Not looking to change heads/intake yet. I am pretty much done with this motor, as I plan to use it as a donor for my 96 TA and build a 370 for the 02 later this year.

Only options I see are UD pulley and spray. I am not 100% sold on a UD pulley, have been looking at Powerbond, and to do a kit the right way(FPSS, Window Switch, Heater, Purge, etc..), price isn't in the budget at this exact moment in time. Give me some thoughts. Thanks


Tick SNS 3
.660 Valve Springs
Ported LS6 oil pump
BTR Trunion Upgrade
LS2 chain
Katech LS6 Damper
Ported TB
Ported/Descreened MAF
LS6 Intake
Blackwing Lid
FLP Long tubes
2.5" X-pipe
Racetronix 255 with hotwire
FAST 36 lb injectors
TB Bypass
Diamond Stage 1 clutch/flywheel
Tick ADJ master cylinder
MGW shifter
4.10 gears
Norris catch can
Stock thermostat

Thats all I can think of at the moment

Can I ask why you want to put more money into this motor if you're just going to change it soon?

Add;

25% UDP

3" X pipe exhaust

160 thermostat

chrs1313/ssra/ftra ram air

150 shot

Do the headers have a 3" collector? Are they 1 7/8"? If not, upgrade to those specs along with the 3" exhaust.

Just another thought, don't know what your stage one clutch is rated for but want might to keep that in the back of your mind to upgrade it once you get tuned. But a chris1313 would benefit your car very well. Speed inc is the sponsor who sells them.

Motor will still be used in another car. Don't mind spending a little extra on it, but won't go back internal.

Diamond set-up should be more than enough. Thanks, i will look into the chris1313 ram air.
