Hey guys, It’s good to be finally be on. Let me start by saying, I have a 00 camaro with 55k on it. I’ve spent a lot of time consulting this message board for all of my pervious mods. I’ve been happy so far with; b&g springs, k&n cold air kit, throttle body spacer, and I’ve had someone with hptuners make it all worth it. I also have 3:73 gears on the way and they will be in by Sunday. So, my question is what’s next? I know I can mess with the exhaust, but other than that? Underdrive pullys, light weight flywheel, aluminum driveshaft. What works? Have I reached the limit for bolt-ons. If nothing else… is it time for a 75 shot?

Re: What now?
is the driveshaft a gain i will notice? no headers yet... but i've herd the don't do much on the 2000's because of the excisting tubular manifiolds. do you know if there is any truth to that?
And i should have mentioned that the car is a 5 speedComment

Re: What now?
ehh upgrade the rear LCA's and the PHB, then the driveshaft, and a stall. That should make you happy. Be sure that rear has LSD, also i hear that the lightened flywheels are nice. After that i guess its ready for a cam, or that 75 shot.Comment

i have a 2000 bird, i did headers, deleted my cat, and ran full 2.5 inch to a flowmaster, and it helped. from stock exhaust to full exhaust is a difference.
also what watazz said, lca's, pan hard, and torque arm would help alot, getting traction to the road and making it feel faster.Team NoVa

Re: What now?
Tube K member and control arms. Torque arms are nice from what I hear. Sub frame connectors. Definitely the whole exhaust. Rockers are really easy to install btw. I dunno if it's just me but I'd put a permanent wideband on anything. That's a few things..

Re: What now?
agreed with flaming and blizzard^
i've got a '02 t5 with headers and full exhaust and it's a big improvement over stock. i've got my alum driveshaft on the way so i'll let you know if i see any difference before/after.
work on that suspension and getting the power to the ground efficiently. then go cam or 75shot or both :Dpacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors

Re: What now?
I would do all the bolt on's , and suspension mods then do a cam and wideband and maybe your own Hptuners so you can log and tune it yourself.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: What now?
not on a auto x/road race vehicle...this is the only thing that would benefit from a manual car....I think a stall would only hurt you for this...Originally posted by venom3300 View Post

Re: What now?
auto-x purposes i would say Strano front swaybar and some Koni's. it's a t-5 so he does not have a stall...unless he's still learning how to drive lolComment
