Question Many questions

Hi there,
I would like to ask you several questions. I am from the Czech Republic, where the Camaro is a bit exotic car and there is no one I could speak to about it. I would like to use my Camaro especially as drag racer (sometimes street racer). My Camaro is 93 Z28, manual trans.

These mods have been already finished
1) SLP Headers
2) MAC Catalytic converter
3) Borla Catback
4) K&N air intake
5) 18“ Wheel
6) Hurst Short Shift

Some mods prepared for installation
1) Edelbrock Nitrous
2) Powerdyne Supercharger
3) KONI Dampers
4) Brembo Brake System
5) Underdrive Pulley

Thinking of
1) Stroker kit

And now the questions
1) Should I buy 58mm throttle body?
2) What about the injectors? Would bigger mean better?
3) Diff - Racing one or its enough to keep the original one?
4) If you do not agree with the Stroker kit, which camshaft should I choose?
5) What are the Roller Rockers for and what does the ratio mean?
6) Are there any sparkplugs that go with nitrous and supercharger?
7) Should I port the heads or buy other?
8) Which Chip is necessary?
9) Should I use 160F thermostat?
10) What else should I buy, mod to get mean racer?

Thanx Marauder

You are asking questions about an LT1 engine. There is a forum specifically for LT1 engines, and "strokers" are discussed there all the time. Please post these questions on "LT1 Tech", not on "Advanced Tech".

I would also suggest you break the questions down into smaller groups. You aren't likely to find anyone that wants to type 10 or so paragraphs to answer 10 questions.

Moving to LT1 Tech.....

ill answer the ones i know

1) with the stuff you are getting i would say go for it.
2)bigger doesnt necceserly meen better, your car will only use the fuel it needs, bigger injecots doesnt meen it will inject more fuel if your car doesnt need the fuel. if you are getting a supercharger, stocker kit/cam , ported heads and nitrous i would think that you would probobly need bigger injectors aswells as fuel pump
3)no clue what you meen
4)stroker kit and camshaft are 2 difrent things, correct me if im wrong but a stroker basicly will change the displacment of and engine while a camshaft will change in amount of intake/exhaust let in and out of the vehicle. if you have money for both then do them both, otherwsie i would say get a good cam
5)roller rockers work kinda like a hinge wich are basiclyt responsible of opening on closing your valves. im not sure what the ratios meen.
6)you just need to change the gap on them, i think the NGK tr6 are good for ntrous
7)depends on how much money you want to spend versus how fast you want to go.
8)no chips are neccesary, what you can/should do is reprogram your computer
9)sure why not
10)whaterver you want

You will probably need to get a different rear-end. I don't think the stock 10-bolt will hold up to a supercharger, ported heads, and stroker kit, you will probably scatter the rear-end all over the track/road.
You can get a Moser 12-bolt, or Ford 9-inch to put your power to the ground.
