New Member Hello everyone. I have been coming to this site for a really long time and i am just now registered to post. I have a 2000 SLP camaro SS. It is sebring silver with a 6 speed hurst shifter. I got it brand new spring break of 2000. It came with the zr1 chrome wheels, the ss floor mats, dash plaque, and slp dual/dual exhaust. I have done quite a few mods to her. First i tinted the windows. I then added SLP LT headers with no cats and the slp y pipe. I also upgraded to a centerforce clutch. I lowered the car with hotchkis springs. I then put a flowmaster muffler on it because i wanted it to be a little louder. About 5 months ago i got stuck into a big rain storm and sucked water through my motor. It blew it up. I ended up getting a ls6 shortblock and i put TEA stage 2 5.3 heads in it. I also got the thunderracing 236/230 .601 lift cam. I also upgraded to a ls6 manifold and ported my throttle body. I dynod 400rwhp and 389rwtq. I thought i would get alot more power out of it. Do you think i need the LSX 90mm manifold and throttle body? What other bolt ons do i need to really help it out? I know i need 4.10s, trieng to decided to get a 9" or a 12 bolt rear end. I dont even think its worth putting 4.10s in the stock rear end, my luck it would break the first day i have them in.

Sounds like you already know what to do. Nice setup you have there. It probably should be making more power. I was thinking the same thing from mine. I dynoed way lower than I should have. I was very dissapointed in the numbers but happy with the way it drove. I'm sure someone else can offer a little more info on what you should get as far as the 90mm manifold and TB i have no experience with those. Post that up in the external engine section and you will get all the help you need. Welcome to the site.
welcome to the site.... those #'s do seem kind of low.... and they will even be a little lower once you decide on a 9in. or 12 bolt.... good luck to ya in whatever you do.... and if i was you i would go with a 9inch....
