Best First Power Mods 2016-2024 Camaro

[@hatch450sx3]

I love how he bounces around on mods because people need to understand no single part effects 1 thing it's all a combination of math and planning.

[@Marioinformer4]

another good option COULD be; Suspension upgrade, some of the parts can be tuned more precisely to your driving, and weigh less (increasing power) or getting a new set of wheels, these can drop a ton of unsprung weight, which helps a ton with handling, weight, and... increases POWER. Those are the only other "intro" mods you can do. But, they arent adding power traditionally by increasing HP or Torque but rather using the Torque and HP you already have for more direct contact on the road instead of getting lost elsewhere.

[@n8_1le10]

Stainless works complete exhaust, Roto Fab intake, flex fuel and a tune.

[@Lethalgarage]

+n8_1le Nice setup

[@n8_1le10]

LethalGarage You have influenced my decisions . Thanks

[@Tate_Cunningham]

n8_1le how much power are ya making with that setup? I just got a 2016

[@tylerdurden7146]

I got a 2017 2ss 50th anniversary. I put on the FAI cold air intake, oil catch can, put 305s on the back and 275s on the front, Borla attack exhaust, zl1 taillights and i painted the side skirts the burnt orange to match the stripes. And she's gorgeous.

[@dirtydave82]

Not a power adder, but something that can make a big difference in how fast your car is by changing rear end gears. My 12 Mustang Gt had 3.15 gears in it when I bought it. I changed to 4.10 gears. Night and day difference. You can have the speedo recalibrated with or without a tune.

[@CrazyGreek80]

Being a BMW fan I drove a white 2018 ss1le and I was just floored by the power and handling the handling was impressive!

[@effyeadude]

As a 2014 SS1LE owner and 2018 ZL1 1LE owner, I am amazed every day at the torque and the drivability of these cars.

[@Tential1]

​@@effyeadudemy favorite segments on car and driver is lightning lap, and when you look at the lightning lap times the Camaro is up there with the Porsche 911. The Camaros outperform their price bracket by an insane margin. I'm actually very confused, because everywhere I've looked the Camaro outperforms like crazy so I don't understand why this car doesn't get talked about more. It seems like people are talking about cars for the badge. I'm convinced that if you just could upscale a Camaro interior and change the badge, people would be gushing over this car

[@ronaldcroy6410]

Long tube headers and tune is a good starting block for your mods.Then you can go either go N/A or power adder.

[@mikeross6043]

Ronald Croy CAI , headers, cat deletes and an E85 tune is great too. It's hard to stop modifying once you start.

[@GeneralYoshi]

To be honest, dude, I just want my car to stay healthy. I'm adding a cold air intake because it might help maintain better temperatures. I don't want to risk the car overheating. I'm also going for a loud, but not too loud, exhaust system. Of course, I'll include modifications for aesthetics, like spoilers and other upgrades, and I'll give the car a nice wrap. I'm just trying to keep the car as healthy as possible and hoping it'll last a long time. oh and I know am 7 years late for this comment.

[@CoCo-Philly]

Put headers, cat back, throttle body, and cai on my 10 Camaro ss. Got 20 hp gain to the wheels with tune. Spent about 5k all together but I had to get it tuned twice. With my 17 ss I'm buying everything at one time and doing one tune. It'll take longer to buy everything but I'll save around 600 bucks. I think.

[@The412Devil]

You should have gotten more then 20hp and 5k for 20 hp is ass. You can get a wet nitrous system for half and get a 100hp on tap

[@CoCo-Philly]

@@The412Devil that was years and 2 cam’s ago. Come to find out the place I went to weren’t the best at tuning Muscle cars. They don’t do them anymore. No more of that stuff for me. I drive too slow and there are too many assholes, (mopar people mostly), who think they’re suppose to drive like they’re at the track just going from light to light. I’m good.

[@Z1lrac]

Was looking into mods for when I was gonna go buy a 2ss but I think I rather just get a zl1 now instead.

[@michaelmunson6307]

How's the cars holding up boys thinking bout getting a 2018 myself

[@bigenough1988]

I wonder why so many people are going with prochargers over turbos or twinscrew superchargers

[@Marioinformer4]

It cuts out boost lag. also it can help more than a turbo at low RPMs. As far as Procharger over twin screw, its kinda cause Procharger is super reliable, super efficient, and pretty low profile in the engine bay. thats just my guess, its got brand loyalty.

[@Sonic_1000]

I'd love to see a dealer try and deny me warranty work over an axle back haha

[@slyr1]

What made you switch from Pro Charger to Whipple??? Also what do you think about the Pro Charger and what do you think about the Whipple

[@gabea.458]

I would say better tires first. These cars don't put down the power they have stock well.

[@BenTheOG]

@Gabe Armijo I 100% disagree. Bigger tires are always nice, but I’ve still go stock tires on my 2SS and traction has not ever been a problem. The 6th gen acceleration even when pushed hard is so controlled!

[@quentonmillstid850]

Bigger tires are heavy and this is rotational mass we are talking about which has a bigger impact than weight in the trunk per se would.

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

I have a 2017 Chevy SS I'm planning on getting the Roto Fav Cold Air Intake Borla Cat back and Kooks long tube heads what would be a good Tune for me to get?

[@padreramonjaja]

+Lalo Coronel Nice

how much power would I get I take all the exhast from motor keep every thing on motor just take the cats to the end with nothing from motor to nothing

Only long tube headers will add power

[@RoFazo97]

So what do you recommend for a 2018 ZL1 for under 5k?

[@elvisp22701]

CAI without a tune will not increase power. The air/fuel mixture is controlled for optimum efficiency. The PCM only uses the volume of air needed. Forcing unneeded air in changes nothing

[@wadebuckley4078]

For a 2017, you'll need 4 HP credits per vin. You also can't tune the automatic transmissions. You have to physically remove the TCM and send it to HP tuners and have them tune it to your specs. Manual transmissions can be tuned the the ODB.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Wade Buckley 2016s everything is unlocked

[@markoon139]

where did you find out that the procharger is CARB legal now? I can't find the confirmation anywhere online

[@ItsBrehzey]

If I’m going the whipple boosted route would a ported throttle body and intake manifold be a waste of money?

I would say yes to being a waste. Won’t use the intake with a blower. And I suggest a bigger TB over porting.

I have the 2017 50th anniversary 2ss, would the 50 state legal ProCharger be a good fit for a daily driver without any other mods?

I know you no longer have this setup as you are full-blown race car now back again Id like to keep it as a daily driver. Thanks

Sure! Would be a nice increase of power without needing to upgrade anything else. But your capped at that point, would need fuel upgrades to go beyond.
