Question Stall And other opinions please!

hey guys i just ran into a nice chunk of change 3 g's, and i wanna go faster,of course. my mods right now, :
2000 Camaro SS A4
3.73's
home porting polishing maf and tb
all free mods
lid
bmr panhard
bmr lca's

Now this is what im looking for, 400 rwhp n/a, 500 w\ n20

i dynod with what i have now at 326hp and 339 tq
i drive my car almost every day probably around on average 15 miles a day, sometimes ill go on 150 mile trips, occasionaly.

now my idea to get there was:
pacesetter lt's no cat y pipe

3" cutout in I pipe,keeping stock cat back

MTI SSf 3500 or sf3000 (Im a little worried about going with the 3500 because i dont know if it is very streetable, plus im not totally understanding of the stall speed deal, if iam at a red light and am driving normally when i start to move am i not really going anywhere till im at 3500rpms? i dont understand the concept.)

GM Hotcam( i know its not the best but im looking for a little lopey idle, and i wanna be able to spray 100-150 shot. Also when i do a cam swap what else do i need to get it done?springs retainers etc...?)

Hand porting and polishing and cc the chamberson stock heads( my dad has sone this before so i should be ok with that! what kind of gains should i see?)

NOS or TNT or any other dry application(i need obviously the convertor and cam to work well with n20)

Walbro intank fuel pump (What size, or do i even need one?)

30# ford injector (needed???)

Lowering the rear end 1" (to try and get some traction)

15x10 Nomad II's (jegs and summit )with M/T et streets(will those rims fit, also what size tires are best??)

Ls1 Edit(what should my...Shift points,and tuning for n20. Is there anything else that should be done?



Is there anything you guys think i should change, i know alot will say different cam, so im open for suggestions, IM open for ANY suggestions and thoughts you guys might have. ive been researching this stuff for weeks now but theres just too much stuff to think of and its getting a little confusing so i figured i would ask you guys, after al ya'll are the experts.

Thanks guys and gals

Hey you want to throw some of that money this way, Just teasing , I would do a minimum of a TCI 3500 stall, seeing as you already have 373s it will tighten up the looseness of the stall. And no it doesnt mean you have to hit 3500rpm before the car starts to move, that is flash stall meaning if you hammer the car it will see around 3000 to 3500 before it goes, under normal driving the car at first may feel alittle slow to get going with alittle more gas pedal effort but that is very easy to get used to and after a while you wont even notice. Also get a tranny cooler at the same time its good insurance on the tranny. THe Torque converter is the best mod for us A4 guys hands down .

As for the headers , they are a very good buy pacesetters are nice for the money, I like the magnaflow muffler myself out the back it has a nice deep sound.

I would do a 224 duration cam in your car with some manley springs and Ti retainers you can get those from a sponser or maybe find them in the parts forsale section.

Leave the heads alone for know, they perform very well stock.

I myself like the wet kit many people have good luck with all different setups.
I have a compucar universal kit, with a single nozzel(wet)and it works great .Fuel pump is great insurance and is recommended.

Injectors are not needed, if and when you do the LS1 edit on the dyno they can moniter everything to make sure its all good.

i wouldnt lower the car if you plan on racing , looks good but can hurt you sometimes, As for wheels weld wheels 15 by 10 with a 7.5backspacing and a 5/16 spacer should do the trick,M/t 26 by 10.5 streets. Fronts can be weld 15 by 3/1/2 witha 1.75 back spacing and a 5/16 spacer.If you do a search you will find most of the wheel and combo setups that work on our cars.

As for other mods I would do a Underdrive pulley and maybe a ported Throttle body, they are not exspensive but have shown good gains for the noney.

Good luck
