Hey everyone, I just bought a 2001 Camaro SS. I bought this car with quite a few mods on it already, QTP LT headers w/ merge collectors w/ SLP catback 3" pipe. Stock heads and Comp Cam V2 Torquer w/ comp springs, and push rods. ASP 10% underdrive pulley. and steel billet flywheel. I want to know what dirrection i should go in from here as far as making more power goes. any suggestions would help a lot. my only plans right now are buying a 9" rear end with 4.10s over the winter.

good starting point. The 9-inch is a hell of a lot stronger than the stock rear end. Engine/trans mods depend on what you plan on doing with your new toy.

well thats kind of where im stuck. its an M6 and i dont know the best route to take for performance in the engine. its going to be driven mainly on the street but its not my DD. so id like to do some pretty big power gains but still have it be dependable and not always breaking ****.

Hey, I have read people making good power on the stock bottom end with a heads and cam. I have seen people hit 400rwhp or even a little more. I am from Austin, MN. Get your car done this winter and lets go wreck some ****.
