Chevrolet Camaro 1967-2002 - i'm new and have a question.

I have a 2002 camaro Z28 i have had it dyno tuned,slp air lid,borla exhaust an i'm running a 13.556 at 104.89mph in a 1/4 mile with a good amount of will spin when it shifts in to second. What would be a good power adder that don't cost an arm and a leg? i would like to get to 12.0-12.6
:bigun2:

well everyones budget is different.. But i see you didnt mention longtube headers, that right there will help you ALOT. are you Manual 6 speed or Auto? you can look into some 4.10 gears if you're M6 But if you're auto, look into getting a stall converter.. once you have all those major bolt ons, you can look into doing a cam only set up which is affordable. 750$ will get you a good cam package from TSP and well installation can run you from nothing to $1000+ depending if you do it yourself or have a reputable shop do the work.. And finally some really sticky tires will not hurt ;)

Just some helpfull info. but look into the newbie section and you will see what everyone is doing and how they're doing it and how much it is.. Hope this helps

its a auto and no i haven't got long tube headers yet what would be a good set to get i haven't had my car but for about a month an a half so i'm still new to the LS1 thing i had a 2000 v6 camaro but i gave it to my wife as soon as i had the money to buy mine.

If i'm running 13.5 with a good bit of wheel spin about how fast will it run on m/t et's i just bought a set two days ago i have videos on you tube under Jonathan racing at Alabama international drag way my sister put it on there that's why the name is the way it is.

American racing or kooks 1 7/8 and look into a torque arm

What about sub frame connectors i was told i needed some and i'm not sure what there for. how do i put a pic of my car in the bottom like yours

Decent set of headers that wont break the bank are some TSP headers. 1 3/4 or 1 7/8. Make sure to get a y pipe too. More airflow = more power. With headers make sure they are AT LEAST ceramic coated, stainless is better but ceramic is still good and anything is better than just painted

i have a y pipe it came with my borla exhaust and i had it put on but i didn't have any headers i got my exhaust from a friend i only paid 100.00 for it.

They help BUT since you dont have too much going on, i wouldnt leave it on your priority list.. i would look into some Longtubes.. if you're really on a budget, check out Pacesetter headers. they are some of the less expesive brand BUT fitment and performance is great!! they fit onto my buddies camaro better than my hooker headers did! and the gains are still there...

Go onto your "USER CP" at the top left of your screen on the red ls1tech tool bar and that will take you to your profile settings.. scroll down to the Signature section and you will be able to upload and add what you wish to be your sig :)

thanks an i'm going to try to get me a set of long tube shortly.do Pacesetter headers make the same gain in power

Pacesetters are great but i would go w/ the Texas Speed headers in 1 7/8 and make sure that y-pipe is for headers first but if you want to run low 12's a Yank SS3600 stall is a must also !!!My last 02 Camaro SS a4 had a few bolt-on's and that converter and ran 11.80@ 114 w/ Nitto Drag radials !!!

I want a stall but i have never been in a car with a stall is there a big change,an will it still be a good street car i only ask because i love driving my Z28.

No not w/ Yank SS3600 the only difference is @ the track were you need it and the car does not creep forward as fast when you put it in drive and let off the brake.

Oh see this is my first v8 car so i'm still learning but i do wanna say thank you for your help.I also was gonna ask what would be the best stall converter to use i just don't wanna put something in that's not going to last.

What lane are you running at AID. The right lane is a ton better than the left or at least it was last time I went. It's tacky out past the 330' where the left lane isn't.

Yeah i like running in the right lane but i think they could do a better way all the way around on the prep

It's usually better prepped on Sundays so that's when we'd normally go once it cooled off. To answer your question, stall and LT's/ORY would put you in the 12's on a tire. From there you could put either a cam setup or nitrous to go faster cheap.

yeah i would like to go with a h/c kit i don't know a hole lot about spraying it an I've been told its not to good to spray it

Yank,Circle D or FTI but they are not cheap but last and give you all around performance.

I would put the sub frame connectors in RIGHT WAY i was told to when i bought my car and i dint and now i have some nice reminders on my rear quarter panel! Don't do what i did just put some on there, they are cheap!
