I think you mentioned in another post that you were interested in buying a V6 and then upgrading. I think you may want to consider just getting the V8 to start with.

 

i know but my parents wont buy me a V8 ill proply get the V6 drive that around for awhile then when i get the money ill upgrade

 

It is more than just remove and replace of the engine. There is the ECM, transmission, possibly driveline changes, etc. Don't forget about labor. It will get expensive. Plus if you want it to be close to a true SS, there is the brake upgrade, front fascia change, etc.

There's no shame in the V6, which can be modded nicely and has tons of power.

 

im used to having a V8 but i guess your right im just a stuburn 16 year old haha

 

Think of it this way...

The 2010-2011 Camaro LT/LS (V6) has almost as much power as my 2002 Camaro SS (V8) had.

Gotta love technology and progress.

BTW...I noticed your location. I grew up in Mulliken...

 

Get out of here haha u lived like 10 miles from me haha and i see what u are getting at if i cant get a V8 theres always a turbo or supercharger there for me lol

 

Yup, I even worked in Portland a couple of times. Is there still a Walt's On Inn downtown? They used to have good burgers.

Now you are thinking!

 

haha but i still have to convince my parents to get me the car first and i wish the roof was alittle taller im 6"2 and its getting tight in there lol

 

Make sure you don't get one with a sunroof and you will have another inch or so of clearance.

 

well this is the one i want

how bout put the STS turbo kit on the v6 instead of going with the V* swap and F'ing everything up? my first car was a 99 v6 camaro. that thing was a dog. 200HP....

 

Idk whats better turbo or super they confuse me sometimes

 

Supercharger usually build boost off the crankshaft and a belt to spin it, meaning it uses power to make power.

Turbo uses exhaust gas to spin the turbine to make boost. It doesn't necessarily use power to make power, but it does rely on the exhaust as well as tubing to feed the turbo, etc.

 

the nice thing about the STS turbo kit is that it is mounted in the rear where the exhaust would go. keeps all heat away from the motor.
