Building a Camaro SS/LT1? Watch This Video First! | Drive with Lethal

[@buffseven]

I’ve watched your videos over the years have helped me alot but to be honest I haven’t watch a video in a while and seeing you with a Whipple is a surprise because all the problems people online and youtube are having with them. I thought you would of went with a Maggie 2650 I noticed during your pulls this Whipple lacking torque. At least that’s a issue people complain about. Remember when you went with a pro-charger and all the problems you had with that. But if your happy with the Whipple that’s what matters. I do like the wine of the Whipple but I wouldn’t trade my Maggie for nothing out there right now except for when the next Maggie come out. Thanks for the content as always ✌🏼

[@Lethalgarage]

@@buffseven got the whipple well before all the issues started. She’s making plenty of power and torque. 28lbs of boost.

[@timgonzales3966]

I see that conference

[@AceHardy]

Keep at it

[@JR-hy2mq]

I was looking at full NA build -Cam -LT2 manifold -95mm throttle body -Kooks long tube headers high flow cat -Rotofab CAI -would go e85 but one store within 20 miles and due to elevation I was told not much gain. -Tune Total price quote parts and labor they said $9,000. Is this high or is this normal price? Thanks

[@timgonzales3966]

I watched you from the beginning on all your lethal drives thanks for keeping us informed

[@Clone895]

Thank you for all you have done for the Camaro/car community! I know I and countless others have used your tutorials, listened to your advice, and followed you on your journey. Keep up the good work! I wish you and your family the best. Happy birthday, Mat!

[@Lethalgarage]

Thank you!

[@SevenFiftyNorth]

Informative video. Thanks.

[@LSXSahota]

What's better buy z28 or 5th gen zl1?

[@omarzowila]

Sahota Gaming it’s hard to choose

[@Lethalgarage]

Depends what you want to do with the car

[@marcojordan1368]

Buy Z28

[@chasemytaillights]

5th gen ZL1 is overall a much better value and cost much less than the Z28, plus you don’t have to worry about the issues that come with the LS7

[@theEraser14]

Which route should I go supercharged or pro charger?

[@Lethalgarage]

That’s something you need to decide based on your goals for the build

[@theEraser14]

I’m more to the pro charger but witch one will be a medium budget route not to high my goal is 500 to the wheel or 550

[@Lethalgarage]

ProCharger are a bit cheaper

[@theEraser14]

LethalGarage are they reliable?

[@WHOSKOW1]

Watched the vid. My 2014 2SS is similar to yours. Have a 2.9 Whipple. All forged with a stroker crank. Ported heads. TRI-Walboro pump setup with large injectors. I run on E85. I also have NOS. You keep talking about adding Methanol Injection. Had it but didn't need it. It made the car very hard to tune with the E85. I removed the whole methanol system. E85 is temperamental. I went with a summer tune and a winter tune for Texas. I think you'll be making a mistake with the methanol install. Also it runs out very quickly, you need to keep filling up that tank. Cheers

[@Lethalgarage]

The 5th Gen isn’t a DI motor, so it’s very different. Depending how you run the meth is also a huge factor. We will have an on demand system and it will be just fine with 3gals at a time.

[@speedlife301]

Di is easy to tune with meth and e85 for a good tuner and is the only way to make max power with direct injection they both cook the combustion chamber and the meth adds fuel and cleans the carbon off the valves and pistons . Combined they give the ultimate detonation resistance

[@HectoesMusic]

Can someone help me? I feel dumb because I OWN a 2018 ss but I’m not sure what he means. What is the LT1 model he talks about at 1:16

[@itchyonion3559]

Hectoes Music base v8 Camaro

[@catchneverything7878]

You should make a 6gen camaro weight reduction video and how much weight is actually being knocked off.

[@Lethalgarage]

A bit late for that

[@JLSpeed]

If you are just doing cam or staying NA you really don't have to upgrade your fuel system. I have a cam with 32% more fuel lobe and have fbo cam and ported heads and can still run full e85 no problems, now im pretty much getting to the limits of the stock lt1 fuel system, but the car should be making around 575 give or take. I added nitrous but with a standalone fuel system so that i do not have to use the stock fuel system and can spray 100-150 hp more easily with c16 race fuel to get into the 650-700 easily without having to touch stock fuel system.

[@Lethalgarage]

Well of course, your NA with nitrous.

[@TucTownVonte]

Want to build my 2019 2SS already have long tube headers roto fab e85... Idk what to do next... help needed... new to this🙏🏾

[@illusionplayzyt6809]

Jason Parrish I recommend cold air induction system, then from there I would do heads and cam.

[@Lethalgarage]

I’d do a cam before heads.

[@TucTownVonte]

LethalGarage much appreciated can’t wait for more drive with lethal videos🙏🏾

[@chasemytaillights]

If you’re not gonna go with a roots blower or if you’re gonna stay NA you could pick up an MSD intake manifold. Adds a lot of top end and makes a huge difference for a cam.

[@Standyourground21]

You mention that the LT1 platform might be best route for a drag build. Don’t no about that because it does have track mode, I just wonder if that would be another hurdle to over come. Bare bones 1SS would be my choice. I saw the LT1 in person that front end looks very cheap.

[@Lethalgarage]

Don’t need track mode to be a good drag car. Any good car gets a trans tune regardless

[@Standyourground21]

LethalGarage I am thinking more on the lines of ECM completely and tune. Just a thought.

[@allterrainadventures3385]

That’s a Race car great video👌🏼👍👍

[@marcojordan1368]

Thicc s s

[@dannyoliveira4787]

So much has been done to the Lethal Camaro over the years and I’m glad I had the opportunity to watch you make it become what it is today ,I’ve been a big fan of your channel your a long time now because of you I’ve been inspired to do many modes on my 2016 Camaro 2ss.Your car is bad ass brother.

[@Lethalgarage]

Thanks for following along

[@raymondduncan4635]

Sounds badass!!!

[@jashann3505]

Lethal garage do you think buying 2017 47k mileage Camaro ss good idea ?

[@Lethalgarage]

If it runs okay and you can get a good deal, why not

[@MrMediina1]

The Lethal Camaro has come a long way from the vitesse throttle controller 😂😂 still one of the baddest 6th gens on KZbin

[@richardjones990]

Do you know what they did to your converter to keep it from blowing off the tires at the hit?????

[@Lethalgarage]

Spec’ed it properly for my build. My old converter was a spec from a different car with a different blower.

[@Omasisi]

So my Camaro's resonator had to be taken out and on top of a muffler delete it got really loud, now call me crazy but I didn't like the way it sounded so do you guys recommend a way to fix the issue? to get another resonator I would have to buy the whole exhaust again which I don't want to do.

[@Lethalgarage]

The 6th gen has 2 banks of cats (4 total) no resonator.

[@j4martinez72]

I live in southern California. Where would you recommend getting my 6gen Camaro tuned. Also would like to add E85.

[@omarzowila]

When I was at the Covina Chevrolet dealership with my dad when he went to pick up his 2018 Chevrolet Suburban LT, I saw a car at that dealership that was almost similar to the Lethal Camaro & Happy Birthday

[@SSbigblock454]

I'm thinking about a cage. You don't need to tell us who did it, just do a show and tell on it.

[@LineMUp321]

He has a 2 part video series on it or at least he had one up on the channel.

[@Lethalgarage]

Correct

[@SSbigblock454]

OK thanks. I'll look for it.

[@gabea.458]

I have a TVS 2650 and nothing else. It's plenty of power for a car that will always run Michelin PS4S. My issues are some of the driveability of the car. It's not terrible but still occasional light surging, weird part throttle paddle shifts and too much throttle input relative to the actual pedal input. I have a reputable tuner and I've heard the issues are related to limitations in HP tuners torque tables. I wish I was more familiar with the system. I hope some like Haltech makes a plug and play solution for DI Camaros. By the way have you seen that SPL Parts makes all the suspension now? they make awesome stuff.

[@buffseven]

Sounds like you need to find a better person to tune your car for you bud. You shouldn’t be having any issues with that Maggie unless somethings not hooked up right or you haven’t got it tuned properly. My Maggie 2650 doesn’t do any of those issues you described. Hope you get it fixed ✌🏼

[@noremorsegamings]

Where can i cam my 5th gen v6 camaro. i seen people on youtube do it. i just know where and i can buy parts.

[@eastonmccarrell6597]

No Remorse Gaming bc auto

[@goingz28_23]

Have you ever heard of newtech performance over near Sacramento? If you have, have you heard anything good or bad about them? Looking to get my 6th gen built!

[@Lethalgarage]

I haven’t

[@TeamWeaponX]

Hey what package Camaro would you recommend for street fun and dragway racing only? I'm mainly interested in 2020's for the 10 speed auto. LT1's seem ok but I think the SS looks better overall, just don't know if the 2ss is worth the extra money. Currently looking at a 1SS in satin gray without mag ride.

[@rickybobby5194]

I think its awesome what you did to the lethal Camaro.....but if you are looking for a next project..I have a 2014 5 gen Camaro that I want to turn into the crazy Camaro...just waiting to find the right person and shop ...

[@kevinalonso3395]

New era performance is good with LT platforms as well

[@tippy123867]

I am excited for all 2021 Camaro content. I Crashed my 800whp SS Camaro a couple months back and have to start over. I want the LT1 RS Just have no idea when I can put my order in.

[@cae2024]

Good to see you back in the 6th Gen and doing a drive. Sounds good and strong. Enjoy and stay safe

[@Game-The-System]

Nice video, Matt. I'm sure all of those pulls were within the posted speed limit and your exhaust set up completely complies with CA emissions too :P

[@Lethalgarage]

Shakes head up and down

[@tigwelders-1076]

Just curious if you got pulled over by a cop who knew some shit would your car be towed even if you were not speeding for having non CARB approved modifications ? I mean I live in SoCal and thats been a huge worry for me, I noticed you do as well.

[@Standyourground21]

Matt worry? Lol Every pull he checks the rear view mirror to see if there are any cops. 👮🏻‍♀️ 😀😃

[@Lethalgarage]

My car would be impounded if they wanted me to have a bad day

[@paintslinger16]

Welcome to Blower Whine Country

[@raymondduncan4635]

The first video I watched was like this one, Awesome 😎

[@falcongt1971]

keep this going with these drive videos , i like it . GM gone from Australia now. I have a 2018 nightfall grey camaro great car doing mine up for show car hardest part is getting parts from America

[@LineMUp321]

I would love to see a Lethal Camaro vs. Freedom Rocket at Camaro Fest 2021... don't care who wins but would be an awesome race.

[@PartieMartie06]

Hey...Who did your cage ? 😂😂

[@TxHammer757]

Loved all the info. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. @Hammersrt

[@JCunningham21]

tesla should have brought a extension cord and a $100 bill to the closest house.
