so i'm starting my performance mod list. wanted to get some advice. since i'm not very "engine-literate" or anything (noob basically) i wanted to get yall's opinions on mods to increase the performance of my 1994 3.4L camaro. this is the list i have so far:

>3400 conversion
>baer braking system
>eibach/hotchkis lowering springs
>bilstein shocks
>pacesetter/rksport headers
>high flow cat
>160 deg. Thermo
>MSD ignition box
>shift kit
>3.42’s and LSD

i know that there are things i'm missing that would be beneficial to have so i wanted to get yall's take on things. is this a good list? i already have and exhaust and a CAI. what else needs to be added?

 

It looks like a good list, but what is the 3400 conversion? You already have the 3.4L, is there a difference in the intake manifold design or something? Your list looks good, I would take off the MSD box though, unless you plan on going the forced induction route one day. Otherwise, it won't yield any gains and it will drain you a couple extra hundred bucks.

 

Well, I saw your other thread at FTv6, but I'll chime in here before I check out for the night...

The cat and thermostat are wastes of time, so you can leave those off. Same for the ignition...it's not like you got stuck with an opti-spark or something!

Do your 3400 top end swap and make actual use of that CAI...


"It looks like a good list, but what is the 3400 conversion? You already have the 3.4L, is there a difference in the intake manifold design or something?"

You are closer than you believe....look about 3 pages back at that 77ish post thread relating to the 3.4L...

 

Looks goood I'd do this, however.

160*
Headers
!Cat - High Flow if you need one
LS1 Brakes - Hawk Pads, Powerslotted Rotors
3400 Top End
3.42-3.73 w/ Z28 LSD Rear End
3200 Stall w/ Shift Kit & Tranny Cooler

Quite honestly you'd be better off selling it and getting a Z finanically.

 

skip the baer brake system, either go with ls1s, or if you want really good, upgrade to C5 brakes.
