What mods are you currently dreaming of for your 5th Gen?

Ok, we are pretty sure that the Camaro is coming out sooner or later (hopefully sooner), was curious what mods people are thinking up for their car? My list is as follows:

Rear End: Either Moser 12 bolt 3.73 or if IRS new BMR stubs and axles, 3.5" chrome moly drive shaft.

Engine: SLP 402 low compression aluminum block, AFR225 heads, LT's and cat back. possibly new intake, ls6 style? After engine is done, either ATI procharger or Kenne Bell if engine fiewall alllows twin screw.

Suspension: SFR's, 1" lowering springs, Z/06 style rims.

Body: Cowl induction hood, possibly ground effects, depending on how the car looks.


I figure the mods will be done about the time the loan is paid off.

Mine will be pretty simple...red, navy blue or orange 5.3 base coupe with t-tops and a 6 speed manual. Mods? SLP exhaust and American Racing Torq Thrust IIs...that should be all it needs to keep me happy

I'm thinking generic at first; intake, new exhaust, performance cat. Nothing fancy until I can get used to the car.

...And til I can scrape up the cash for extensive stuff.

Easy to install headers (for once) and a stainless steel 3" exhaust, true dual.

Re: What mods are you currently dreaming of for your 5th Gen?

1.electric cutout
2.headers
3.cam
4.rockers, rods and springs (light weight valve train, i want it to rap up quickly)
5.rear suspension work
6.computer tune

That will be good for about 475-500hp

But remember, I'm just dreaming.

That's ok, that was the point of this whole post. my assumption is a ls2 will be the top motor. I could be wrong but since I like to have a plan, my mods are the current base line for my car (interestingly enough, these mods are also designed around the GTO , a car I like very much as well)

I think the headers on our cars are pretty easy, maybe Ive just done them too many times already

True Dual is an EXCELLENT call
