Nice vid. My 6th gen is just about finished with its NA build. Have TSP heads, CSP spec’d cam, MSD manifold, rotofab CAI, TSP 2in headers, e85. Car made 535whp on E85 and 511 on 93. Goes in, in a month for an FTI billet triple disc 3200 stall converter. Hunting for mid 10s NA!

[@BigClaunch]

You should already be there with an auto!

[@paisano316]

I’m dropping off my 6th gen SS 1LE for headers, Corsa axle back, & E85 today. Plus plugs, wires, & tune. I’m VERY excited!! Planning on doing a heads and cam package, intake manifold, and CAI end of this year or early 2024. Hoping to make this 2nd phase a nice little Christmas gift to myself!!

[@chasemytaillights]

I have a 6 speed manual 16, and I’m getting ready to do H/C, but here’s my experience coming from a bone stock car to FBO/E85 is that the 4 best bang for your buck mods are E85, cold air intake, headers, and a catback. You could skip the catback in favor of an intake manifold cause the stock mufflers aren’t bad, but I felt that overall for the power and sound aspect those were the 4 best things to be done. With just those four mods my car made 441 on 93 and 453 on E85 on a dynojet in 70 degree weather in FL. These cars usually dyno at 390-410 stock, but I’ve seen some as low as 380 and some as high as 420. I don’t know what mine was at but definitely a big difference, and the sound was great. I wouldn’t skip an intake manifold. I later ended up doing an MSD intake manifold and it definitely added a lot of power up top, so it was worth it, and it makes an especially big difference if you cam the car. Porting the stock one is the better value but the best you can get without doing a high ram that makes the drivability suck is to port the MSD through pray performance. I did a stainless works cat back system and kooks 1 7/8 headers. Sounds incredible to me, I have sound clips on my channel for anyone interested.

[@slow_restoration]

2017 2SS m6 Roto fab Texasspeed VVT3 CAM Texasspeed CNC ported stock heads Texasspeed catted 1 7/8 long tubes stock NPP 535 RWHP I think a intake, throttle body, and E85 would add quite a bit more. You have to pull the heads to do a cam and headers are a given! The intake and throttle body are easy to do later, in my opinion this is the best way to build in stages assuming you're going all the way.

[@lolyouwontfindme6070]

My build: I have a 2018 Camaro 2SS (automatic) and it’s my daily so my mods aren’t too crazy but here they are: Ported throttle body, Muffler delete, K&N black hawk edition cold air intake, oil catch can (not a power mod I know), and that’s about it, my last couple of mods I plan on doing was to get long tube headers (Texas speed is the option I’m thinking of going with), and a borla exhaust hence why I’m gonna watch lethal’s video on borla exhausts (ATAK vs S type) but yea lol oh and a tune of course to accommodate all these mods, I was thinking of going e85 but here in my town there’s no e85 stations I know of plus I just wanted a bit more “kick” out of my daily driver, and a bit more “fun” with my friends in “ Mexico “ lol but yea nothing too crazy i know but that’s what I want my build to be and best part is I’m so close! Wish me luck bois!

[@mr.eastcoastgrow6132]

I have the Borla Atak and its a great sounding car paired with a good cold air intake. Im looking for somthing to do next not sure what to do with no performance shops around.

[@PoliPopo]

I'm hooked to your channel I have a 4-cylinder2.0t but I still learn a lot by watching.

[@PoliPopo]

Nitrous huh hmmmm I'm going to have to look into that

[@JLSpeed]

I would say I have a close to max effort NA car that would probably be putting down 560-580 NA. I also have nitrous kit but am using a standalone nitrous fuel system running c16 to fuel my nitrous to help with predetonation and also with e85 helps keep the temps down in the cylinder. I run a 100 shot and the car is probably around 650 on nitrous and didn’t have to worry about upgrading any of my fueling of the stock system!

[@jasonoctane4787]

Nice vid breaking down some mods for people. My setup is a 2019 1SS A10, 2” Kooks, green cats, delete 2nd cat and muffler, stock heads and intake mani, E85 kit, GM CAI, stage 1 Texas speed cam kit, 95mm TB, AEM wideband, ECU and TCM tune, 470whp on mustang dyno in Vegas heat but wasn’t running right and E sensor issues so didn’t want to push it. Later got remote tuned and runs strong but haven’t dyno’d since. Moving into boost now. Waiting on Whipple kit to be made, got LT4 complete fuel system w/voltage booster, rotofab big gulp, fresh MSD wires/NGK plugs in heat spec for new setup. Didn’t do forged internals so fingers crossed🤞🏻

[@DrOcKa20]

Did you ever do the boost without changing the internals? If you did, how is it? I want to do buy a PROCHARGER, but I'm concerned that even at 7psi it'll do damage to my internals if I don't forge them.

[@JLSpeed]

Very good info, I would lump the cam and ported heads together as you have to remove the heads anyways to do the cam. And labor wise it will save you a few hundred dollars to just do the ported heads at the same time as a cam. And I would say stage 3 would be a converter.

[@poorthingproductions]

Crazy! I’m actually thinking about buying another 6th gen to build NA. Stage 3 for me. But I’m also keeping my current 6th gen which was built with boost. Your content is always on point

Nice video, Matt. Hope the family and you are safe and healthy.

[@cae2024]

2016 1SS M6 with Roto-Fab cold air intake with sound tube delete, TSP 1 7/8" headers with high flow cats, MBRP 3" cat back race exhaust I got 433 RWHP and 442 RWTQ on a Dyno Jet. Since then I installed a TSP/Prayporting cam package with E85 in April. I have yet to get back to Indiana Musclecar to put it on the same Dyno to see what I pick up with the cam package and E85. Next up is a Prayporting throttle body, intake and heads.

[@nightfall1le359]

Great video man. I’m currently stock other than a RF dry but have TSP 2” headers with x-pipe & a FF kit sitting in my back seat/trunk & waiting on Pray to finish porting my stock TB/IM. Hopefully he can do a baseline for me before installing the parts & dyno tuning. I’ll be sure to update with before & after numbers once he’s done.

[@BigClaunch]

Just subbed will be waiting!😤

[@nightfall1le359]

Air Ace I completely forgot about posting my numbers lol. I didn’t get a baseline due to time constraints but the best he ever got out of a stock LT1 was 398. I ended up at 469 in pretty terrible weather for a dyno since it was nearly 100 degrees & humid as hell. My best guess is I would’ve gotten at least 75 if I had a baseline that day, but I can say for sure it’s a night & day difference. My bro in-law just bought a Hellcat & after driving them back to back, I feel pretty good about beating him in anything other than I high speed roll.

[@BigClaunch]

Nightfall 1LE nice gains. Thanks bro! I also have a SS1LE.

[@nightfall1le359]

Air Ace nice! Whenever you get some mods, I’d highly recommend Pray. He knows his stuff on these!

[@juniorg5726]

Also a good set of tires to grip all that power

[@Z51MAELSTROM]

It's funny listening to all of his list. Knowing I have an '18 RS. Yeah, a V6. Everyone tells me to dump it for a V8. Problem is, I'm pretty deep. I've got a supercharger (roots style), and now I'm getting a smaller pully, and re-tuned for optimum daily, and WOT performance. With any luck I'll be 415~ WHP give or take when I pick it up. for a V6, that's pretty good, and should beat most anything (Not V8 supercharged) on the street?

[@Lethalgarage]

It would be close. The gearing is what will hurt you.

Would be interested in doing a NA SS for the street to match a stock ZL1 at the wheels. I wouldn’t mind owning either. I just think NA with big power gets a little more respect

I would add stroking your engine, adding displacement is also in the max effort department.

[@jaybird9943]

I have the same build in my '19 Stingray M7. Halltech CAI and Borla ATAKs. Very similar numbers. I think 480whp/490tq is about as much as you can get out of any fbo non-cammed build.

[@gabea.458]

The only thing I would add to the end of "stage 2" when you say the power levels are getting close to supercharging is this. I say this especially for guys like us in CA. With a S/C you can be at that power level and be 100% CARB compliant. With the N/A mods not so much. I went with a TVS2650 and nothing else and I am happy with it. I don't think I want to do more anyway until I can get all the driveability back on the auto trans (in manual mode). That's one area where N/A is nice. I heard there may be some plug and play ECU's on the horizon for DI engines that can give me a stock like throttle input and shifting.

[@dragnvortexlt-1549]

I know MagnaFlow usually does a pretty good deep sound Muffler but don't know how it would sound on your car I know it would give you more horsepower though. I had the same problem with my Nissan Pathfinder I wanted a deeper sound but I settled for a MagnaFlow because that was the only one I could find I tested so many Mufflers I worked at a muffler shop LOL MagnaFlow was the best for that V6 but it was a 4.0 might be a difference. I also had a Nissan Altima that had a V6 3.5 and the best sound come out of that was a Stillen performance stainless exhaust sounded really really good

Check into pedal monster throttle controller, not really a n/a item or power builder, but it helps enormously with throttle response!

That is what FlexFuel kits are. They allow you to run one fuel or the other or even mix

Hi guys I am new to camaro have 2016 camaro ss 10k miles I love the car is all stock what did you recomend for mi first mood ? Also did you guys think that deleted the mufflers is a good idea and also the cats?

[@Lethalgarage]

Deleting things and not replacing with performance parts will lead to a crappy cheap upgrade. Get a CAI and E85

[@MrJoseeclipse123]

Thanks a lot men understand make sense.

[@Game-The-System]

I think what Matt is saying is that if you were to do that, the caveats are that your car will be loud as hell ALL THE TIME. Plus, you'll still need to get it tuned to run worth a damn. There are even a lot of performance shops that won't touch a car like that, especially in certain States. Personally, 120db exhaust all the time isn't my thing. Furthermore, the tune itself is probably going to get you 20 - 30 hp(?) and the open exhaust might only get you 10 - 15hp. I'm considering installing butterfly valves forward of the 2nd cats, if that is possible. Hoping to get at least 40hp with an accompanying tune, but I'm still in the research phase....and she is still under warranty :)

[@mr.eastcoastgrow6132]

What do you reccomend for ppl who don't have a performance shop? All I have is general mechanics you can't trust with advanced performance stuff. I did the cold air, full exhaust, and most of all bigger wheels and tires. 305s on the back 275s on the front to make use of all the power I have rn. Mines a 2017 fifty edition so I dont wanna chop her up to much just looking for some easy power to grab without to much tuning.

[@Lethalgarage]

A lot of good shops offer remote tuning. a bit more pricey as you will need to buy a tuner kit, but it is possible.

Because it’s still way cheaper. I picked up my 2017 SS for 18.5k and it was in great condition, hasn’t been to the shop at all. If I do full stage 3 and make 600-650 to the wheels, and then slap on a supercharger, I can easily make 750-800. I’ll be under 40k and have a car that can stomp a ZL1 like it’s nothing

I have an ‘18 2SS automatic. You think I would get a noticeable power gain by going down the route of New headers, full exhaust, CAI, and e85/ dyno tune. Or will those upgrades not show a noticeable power increase? I only ask because I got a quote and saw the price for everything I want. Just not sure if doing these upgrades is worth it.

I did a drop in filter instead of a cai and a cat delete with e85 and picked up 55whp and around 50lb/ft of torque so if you do those mods and a transmission tune I think it will feel like a totally different car.

Nightfall _1LE appreciate the insight. My next question would be are the mods worth it to do if this car is my daily driver? I’m not so much worried about gas, more so reliability. Are these mods going to cause a lot of issues ?

[@nightfall_1le575]

Kings Fanatic I’m not sure about the transmission tune and it’s effect on daily drivability because my car is manual but I’ve driven the car fairly hard for 2,000 miles and I have also driven 200 miles at a time and had zero issues the biggest thing I can suggest is if you are going to get a full exhaust get one that keeps the npp active exhaust function because no cats is loud

Nightfall _1LE appreciate the information. Cheers
