4 G's to spend.
 
Alright here in october i am heading to Iraq for 4 months and i am bringing back some cash and i have budgeted some of the cash to spend on the camaro but i don't know what to buy. I have 4 G's to spend what would be the best way to spend it ???

are you A4 or M6?

00blacksstallion Sep 12, 2007 11:00 PM

an M6

Zak Attack Sep 13, 2007 12:04 AM

Boost.

00blacksstallion Sep 13, 2007 12:07 AM

you think just turbo it thats all the dinero right there i have looked at that i dont' know anybody that has it done so i don't know if it is worth it or not

Out1aw Sep 13, 2007 06:15 AM

For an M6:

$2500 - rearend
$1500 - long tubes, ory, catback, lid (or true duals)

i dont know when the last time you bought exhaust for a n ls1 david, but mine was no where near 1500. but the rear end isnt a bad idea.

00blacksstallion Sep 13, 2007 08:59 AM

a rear end that can hold more hp?

echo3313 Sep 13, 2007 09:11 AM

for 4 grand get a cam with springs and lifters(+-1300), heads,(+-1500) fast 90(+-800), ls1 90 mm tb (+-200), and some longtubes/y pipe. it can be budgeted

00badfnta Sep 13, 2007 09:48 AM

You difficulty need to consider getting a rearend if you are planning on making alot of hp and racing. Thats the only thing I regret not getting when I had the money. Then go with echo3313.

rear end, either 12 bolt or 9 inch and a cam, or sell your car and get a TA like you told me you wanted to.

00blacksstallion Sep 13, 2007 02:57 PM

ahhh i can't sell the camaro i am going to pay it off the next two or three years and then buy a TA the camaro is going to be my garage queen that i only take to the track. and the TA will be my FUN daily driver with mods done

ba78ta Sep 13, 2007 03:16 PM

Not if you go with Pacesetter headers/ory and a basic cutout or catback setup. But I was basing it on something like Kooks or QTP which are $800+ just for the headers... But theres a million different ways you can go with just exhaust.

But if it's an m6 and you plan on drag racing it at all with more-than-stock horsepower, I'd invest in a new rear.

00blacksstallion Sep 13, 2007 09:52 PM

wheres a good place to go look at rearends? any websites that specialize in just rear ends or have a good variety

02402RAMAIR Sep 13, 2007 10:10 PM

keep in mind when you upgrade your rear end you are going to be adding more weight and taking away rwhp.
If I was spending 4 grand I would want to feel in power what I spent.

I went 8.30 in a 1000 ft on a stock 10 bolt
HUNTER02SS has over 900 rwhp M6 and a 10 BOLT.

I do think a 9 inch would be a great upgrade but not my first choice.

Honestly.....after thinking long and hard about it. (actually it only took me a few minutes to realize how hard jace left me after he did his heads and Cam setup)

I would recommend that you get H&C, Nitrous, and necessary tuning and fuel mods.

I dont know the exact specs on Jace's car, but its fast.

Buy a motorcycle.. ;)

$4K spent smartly could get you quite a lot..

Depends on how you plan to use the car..

If you're going to be launching it on slicks all the time, I'd start looking at a rear end and build up from there..

If it's going to be a street car and you don't plane on launching from a stop, I'd look into other things..

I am sittin' at just a lil' over $2200 for my full heads/cam swap.. I'll be able to do it easy for $2500..

However, if your car is stock, I'd start with the basics..

Lid, Ported TB, LS6 Intake, Long Tubes, Exhaust..

From there, I'd start looking at heads/cam..
