Re: $1600.00 to spend on a new camaro

Save the money from the pro 5.0 shifter, and get weld-on subframe connectors and pacesetter headers with the pacesetter Y-pipe instead. $339 for the headers, $120 something for the Y-Pipe, you cant go wrong. Check out the electric cutouts from www.quicktimeperformance.com .

I'd go with the SSRA/Cutout/Qwik Stick(similar to LSS, but cheaper)/Hooker LT headers.

Don't forget that it costs quite a bit of cash to install a cam kit if you dont do it yourself. and the headers can be a fun project also. If i were you i would take that 1600 bucs and buy as many bolt ons as possible then think about internals.

Headers are def a project, I just got finished on my Pacesetters that I bought from TSP, and it def takes a lot of time, if u've never done it before. Dont forget the LS6 intake, their only $400 including all matierials

MAC doesnt make long tube headers for the LS1. MAC's are midlength.

Dont get the Lou stick. If ur getting the Pro 5.0 just cut it and shorten it a little bit. I did it to my Pro 5.0 and its working great and by doing so u will save around 60 bucks.

Also if u want to run Macs with off road Y pipe i think the best catback for u will be Hooker and install a cutout at the I-pipe. The hooker doesnt have any rasp sound or resonance like the magnaflow of the LM and its really good if ur running Off road Y pipes.

Good luck.

I think you should show your parents you have some common sense and don't blow all your money on your car, of course you have to question how much common sense they have buying you a car like that to begin with.

Buy a 12-bolt or 9" w/3:73's or 4:11's then learn to drive your car really well you should be well off...

Or just get a wet or direct port nitrous kit.

You wont find a 12 bolt or 9" for 1600 or less. Even used, thats still too low.
