Default List of Bolt-Ons

My brother is looking at modding his 2011 Camaro SS and wants to know what are all the bolt-ons out there right now! Also what are some of the other small mods that people are doing to get a little gain! Any and all help will be appreciated!!!

Thanks

Easy bolt ons

Cold Air Intake (20whp, $300-500)
Headers & Exhaust (25-40whp, $600-2000)
FAST 102 Intake Manifold (8-15hp, $900)
Underdrive Pulley (5-8 hp, $200)
Ported TB (3-8hp, $150)
Electric Water Pump (8-12hp, $600)
Dyno Tune (10-40hp depending on mods, $350-600)
Aftermarket Shifter (Worth its weight in gold, I like MGW)

More difficult work
Cam & Springs (35-55hp, $700-850 for a complete package)
Ported Heads (20-30hp, $850-1200+core depending on company)

All HP gains and cost are rough estimates, but should be pretty close.

I really have no experience with the LS3, but that first reply said you can get 20WHP with a CAI alone?

As I said, I don't know much about the LS3. But with my LS1 a CAI will get you 10WHP...TOPS! And that's combined with supporting mods. That seems like a stretch.

The LS3 responds amazing to mods just like all LSX motors. Have him browse our selection. We carry some top notch products at some great prices for the 5th gens!
