Re: new to the Camaro world

welcome.

You need to do some research first. While that hp/tq is achievable, It is going to be very expensive.

Not only do you have to build a motor, you have to upgrade cooling, buy a larger rearend, replace suspension components, and buy a built transmission.

You are looking at atleast $10k.

check out www.thirdgen.org for even more information. Search around. Read and learn.

Re: new to the Camaro world

Yeah,I agree,I'm at that stage where I just bought a 86 IROC in 2010,its got a 305 V8,I want a 383 in there.I'm not looking for 500hp,just something with more power than my 305.If you have $10,000 to spend,just buy a Camaro that's built.Otherwise you're gonna wait a LONG time before that car has 500hp in it.If you rush,and put something powerful,you're gonna blow something up,my friend put nitrous in a stock mustang and blew his engine up.Be smart and have patience!
