Ok , I have a 2002 Camaro SS with only 2800 miles on her, with some slight mods , air box , chip , etc. What would you do if you had $ 5000 grand to put to mods ???? Im thinking full exhaust and maybe heads, cam . Or a full exhaust and a good rear end . I guess basically what im asking is WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK IN MY CAR ! I want it to be reliable also . No NOS .


Thanks for the suggestions , I cant wait to get some more ideas for my car .

5,000 grand... man. That's $5 million bucks. not much you can't do with that.

My opinion would be to save most of it...go buy some wheels or something. I'm going to be demodding since I grew tired of hearing the exhaust early in the morning every morning.

procharged..

yeah with 5000 grand I would certainly be looking more at realestate than modding my car..

now with 5 grand.. what to do..

and you stated "chip" for your car... wtf do you mean by that? Our cars cant be "chipped".. you can get a programmer but not a chip..

true duals and full exhaust.. and then a set of decent headsand a cam.. done.. reliable? ha.. its a modded car.. no such thing..

ha, it sounds like ya already know what to do...long tube headers, y pipe, good catback, intake, heads, cam, and tuning.

and who says it cant be reliable? my last 355lt1 with ported heads and cam drove me to work and school every day for over a year, and still got 14mpg in the city...and over 20mpg on highway

A TT set up would blow the engine unless he built the bottom end.

Heads, cam, headers, duals, tuning.

12 bolt , never worry about the rear again, good clutch...maybe....maybe suspension....you cant just thropw it all into the engine, you will be spinnin allllll day long

Jet makes "chips" for most fourth gens, I believe. Goes in between the wiring harness and the computer I believe.

And a heavily modded car can be reliable. Some people don't think a heavily modded cars quirks, such as vibration, wierd noises, bad idle are normal and automatically consider it unreliable. There is a limit, of course. I've never seen a 1k hp car that's reliable. 5-600 seems attainable now though, if you do it right.

Anyway, do the boltons first. Intake, exhaust, headers, gears, shifter/ shift kit, tires, etc. When you're done with all that see how much money you have left.

nope, chips on a 93, known as PROMS, and the rest are reflashed pcm's

I would invest it in something that will appreciate...
A car isn't an investment, unless its the right car.
No offense, but most of us, myself included, don't own the right car.
Nor will we before we die.

Supercharger. Not too bad to install. Mild boost probably won't kill it and it'll make lots of power. Also easy to remove if you sell the car.

My advice to you is to do a search on this board. You will find every answer you are looking for, every part that you would consider putting on the car and just about every gain from each part that is out there. You will def find out what parts to buy and which ones to stay away from. Only takes time! Take your time, do your research, and do it right the first time.
