Jeez op, I truly gotta believe you are pulling our leg. ...
Yep, just read through a bunch of your threads and posts. Guys who buy and sell lots of engine parts (blocks, L92 heads, cams, F1 superchargers, meth kits, etc) do not come up with threads like this one unless they think someones leg is a bit too long and are gonna help them out.
Also the 1,000+ posts gives it away.
If you do truly want to know what will help you the most, tell us your cars mods. It's got a built LS3 for starters, and you just sold a 4,000 circle D stall because you wanted a 3200...
If you don't wanna spill the beans just shoot me a PM and I'll tell you what I would do if I were you.
Oh yeah: what kind and size of tire you running? stock gears? I don't care if you aren't going to the track, you still have to worry about hooking up from a roll on the street! Even "75mph" Supra's are running drag radials for a reason.

5.0s are fast, but nothing to be impressed the thing is that NOBODY has gone all out on these camaros, i could do gears, stall and some drag wheels 15s all around. Change the brakes drop some weight and bam bad *** times too

Thats because they are driven by old men and/or transformer wannabe's. There is ONE...just one by me that has work into it and is respectable. And there are probably 30 more with undercar lights, transformer badges, etc etc with a cold air intake, or open exhaust cutouts, or something dumb just to grab attention. I have a bitter taste in my mouth from the bad rep they get around here. Maybe once they start getting older and down in price, the younger generation will pick them up and actually make them cool.

There's only one 5th gen by me that is worked over. Tons that are stock or running cherry bombs or some such crap to make them loud.
That's actually why the one guy who built his, built his: he's chasing the title for fastest naturally aspirated 5th gen. His names Diet Coke on here and other sites, he's dropped weight down to 3500lbs and is rolling with a 600rwhp TSP 429 LS7 with a stalled and built 4L80E.

Actually I think this is an interesting topic for the street racing section.
A guy I know has a 408 wit 4.30s and a 26" tire. It definitely would haul *** at the track, but for roll racing, it doesn't work. (Actually it wouldn't work at the track either since 4th tops out at ~120.)
Here's a video of him vs my buddy's H/C LS1 (3.73s with 27" tire). 408 makes 508rwhp, WS6 made 446, both cars were close in weight at the time and had a passenger each.
ROLL STARTS AT 2:44

He should have pulled pretty easy, but because he's shifting so often it hurts him. He's going to a 28" tire now so that should help out a lot.
Some people may argue, but I think less (gear) is more on the street (for roll racing anyways). 3.73 with a 26" tire, 3.90 with a 27" tire, or 4.10 with a 28" tire would be perfect street combos for our cars in my opinion.

That is a great concept and all, only it doesn't work in all situations. Look at Ferraris and their gear ratio. Then look at a C6 Z06 and it's gear ratio. If you have torque go with the longer spread gear. If you have no torque and mainly high RPM power then go with lower gear.

lablackbeast this might help you out since the GTO's are on the same base platform and were the precursor to the new camaro's (and G8's and CTS).

This was with a crappy off brand converter that hit way too hard. My Yank SS3600 is tons more liveable and still stalls just as high but with a better torque spread above the stall spead.

They will put fake plastic chrome trim and fender vents and cute little "Ride the Pony" stickers and paint the interior yellow/red and everything else you can imagine.
Then they make a huge sign showing their car's options and how it's "1 of 49" yellow convertibles with white interior the premium audio and 3 extra cupholders made in 2001 on a Tuesday. Also the mandatory "stock" hp rating and they list mufflers, CAI, and a throttle body spacer and now it's 160hp over stock.

They are soaking up the crowd that used to buy Mustangs and Corvettes. Have you ever been to a Mustang or Corvette show?! You will see some of the most riced out excuses for cars driven by old men you can imagine.

A converter will net you serious gains over any other mod with exception of a power adder. You can choose a converter that hits hard and have better times at the track, or a converter with less hit that pulls harder up top. Circle D, Yank, PI will all tell you it all depends on what you want more. I run a PT 4000 and it is great on the streets from a stop or roll. Shift extension is what you want and the looser the converter the better it is. You can beat cars with a lot more power if your car is setup right.

My buddy's car will be doing a lot of that this year.

See I have thought this same thing, I run a 4.10 now NA and was thinking a 3.73 would build more speed coupled with the 150 shot I'm planning on running since the extra horsepower would combat the loss in acceleration building more speed in the process.
