I just bought me a 93 Camaro Z28 6spd and i want to improve on it and i want some advice on what i should do first. What is the best for your buck modifications to do. Plz help a youngster out. Thx.

 

Get yourself a set of big assed sway bars from Spohn Performance www.spohn.net

I would then have the Catalytic converter taken out of the exhaust system and have a 3" cutout installed there so you can uncork the exhaust on a nice cruise day or at the track.

Look into getting and installing a new shifter too. Most of the aftermarket shifters RULE over the stock piece. B&M's Ripper shifter is what i'd get!!!

Maybe buy a cold air intake from SLP or K&N also...They are pretty reasonable considerin what they do...add more power.

 

The best way to spend your money (IMO) is to spend it on track days. Autocross, road course schools, whatever. You've got a great car - have fun driving it. You'll end up spending some money on brake pads and tires, and you'll have a blast.

I forgot to mention that when i bought it a sway bar, flows, and a hearse shifter. Im probably going to put a cold air intake into it in about a week. we drag alot down here on weekend and i was thinking of putting a 373 gear into it to give me some more get up and go but not plain me out at like 90. what do u think?

 

Strut tower brace, subframe connectors, and lots of driving! Keep it safe on the streets.

 

I am very happy with my 3.73's - actually - i don't think i could live without them now!! You'll have much more torque and still have tons of top end.

Other mods I'm happy with - well, all of them really helped out - check my sig. All depends on what you want out of your Z. If you want handling - springs & shocks are a huge improvement. If you want power - cold air kit is a great start, then get it breathing better from there (exhaust, headers etc.).

Also, visit this board frequently, there is a wealth of knowledge here - i have gotten plenty from it myself.

And most importantly - have fun!!

 

O im loving this board everyone is giving some great advice. i pretty much am set on what im doing for the first couple of mods on my car, now i gotta get some money saved up.

 

A hearse shifter? That's an unusual mod...

 

why is the hearse shifter unusual? Anyways thats what i came with when i bought it. but why is that unusual?

 

Usually a hearse comes with an automatic tranny, that's why it's unusual

I think you meant "Hurst"

Dave

 

lol yea thats what i meant i dont know where i saw hearse i thought i spelled it hurst the first time my bad.

 

I would add to that a shift light.

 

Chances are the suspension in your 93 is a little tired... I'd suggest calling up a place that roadrace/autox's cars and tell them what your situation is and they'll set you up.

But Most of all, seat time!!!!!!!!

First time at drag racing will make you realize your nowhere as good as launching and shifting as you think..

Autocrossing will open your eyes on how little you know about turning when some guy in a POS car runs circles around you..

I'd love to do lapping days at roadcourses, but that tiny bit more of risk and prep, I'm not ready for just yet..
