2011 Camaro II SS

[BICEPBULG]

TweetWho's got one? I just purchased one and already making some changes. Installed Edelbrock Shorty Headers, Flowmaster 40's with all new 3" X pipes from flowmaster. Windows was tinted with new Crystaline 3M 98% IR heat blocking film. It is actually 35% legal tint but the film directs the light beams out so it looks darker than 20 but it's legal. The front window is also tinted with the same stuff which isn't legal but I hope I have made good friends with the local police officers, lol. Now I am looking at installing a cold air intake? What is the best brand to use? Anyone install a cam in this new of a car? 500 miles on it now and I had it laying in pieces already, lol. Got to love it.

TweetI've got 2 of em. lol No seriously if i did i wouldnt touch the thing. Nothing like voiding the factory warranty.

TweetHave it programmed. They are VERY restricted from the factory and tuning the car will open it up A LOT!! I used to program cars but I got tired of the responsibility so I sold the stuff to a friend and showed him what to do. He has since tuned some new camaros and they picked up more than any other vehicle I tuned just from a program.

TweetHaving said that, I would not pay to have it tuned until you decided on a cam and what not unless you find someone that doesn't charge to change the tune with additional mods.

TweetMy advice: Sell it and buy a Mustang......But I'm a FORD guy.

TweetLS motors are great. i went with shortys on my GTO too and was disappointed at the performance. i put on JBA midpipes that delete the cats and WOW! that woke it up. then like tn94z said get it tuned and a K&N filter.

shorty headers wont mess with the warranty but deleting the cats might.

where are the pics?

TweetI will post some pics later. The shorty headers and full flowmaster exhaust woke it up. I am sure a tune would be great. I was thinking about seeing if the dealership would do a tune for the new stuff. Cold air intake is next.

To be honest, the dealer will never open it up like it could be. I know the dealers around here can't tune them and even if they could, you would probably pay twice as much.

very sweet car but i agree with the issue of voiding the warranty.

A buddy of mine gets a new vette every two years, re-programs the thing, races it in NY, beats the piss out of it, re-programs it back to the original settings and sells it to some poor folk.

TweetWell I could just buy another computer and keep the stock one to put back in if I needed to. Right now Inamorata doing bolt ons until I get ready to do a tune for all of them. I am familiar with tuning these engines. I had a 6.0 in my buggy that I built from the ground up. I put a cam in it but there was no warranty to worry about.

Or you could just buy HPTuners and do the tuning yourself. Load the stock file back in the car when you have to take it to the dealership. Put the adjusted tune back in when you leave.

you can get a handheld tuner with a canned tune for under $300. should pick it up a bit. ditching the cats is worth 20hp where as shorties and cat back maybe 5-8hp.

so much you can do to them. pedders makes a great suspension upgrade that makes those cars feel much tighter. good buy.

TweetI have had it nearly a month and loving it. Waxed it and washed it more than any of my others. So after reading some stuff on the web if the dealer fills the tank up they put cheap gas in it. I have only ran 92 or 93. So these cars has 2 fuel tables and once it has low grade it never goes back until you pull the ECU/Computer fuses so it drains the power down. Then it resets to the high grade. I did this and that alone woke it up. Shorties doesn't void warranties but long or mid pipes will cause you have to move the cats to a new location or remove them all together. So at 36,000 miles it's getting a cam maybe a supercharger as well. For now I will purchase a tuner, install a cold air intake to go along with the header and exhaust I just done. Also change the throttle body and a few other small things to gain a little more HP.
