New car, new mods.

[ChevyGuy1022]

Alright, here's the deal. I sell the 3.1 V6 91 camaro, and buy a 3.8 V6 2002 Camaro.

Here's the wish list for mods, (all in all about 3 grand worth of stuff) tell me what you guys think, what you would change, suggestions for other mods that would go well with them, or tell me if I'm being stupid and listed something here that doesn't even work on the car.

-Autometer Gauges: Mechanical Vacuum, Air/Fuel Ratio, Electrical Fuel Pressure, Electrical Trans Temp
-Clearview Cermachrome Coated Headers
-Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust System #17358
-Whisper Cold Air Induction Lid
-MSD DIS-4 Ignition Control
-MSD Coil Interface Modules
-MSD Ignition Coil Packs
-Granatelli Motor Sports Lower Control Arms
-BMR Non-Adjustable Chrome Moly Panhard Rod
-Granatelli Motor Sports G-Load Brace
-Spohn Chrome Moly Subframe Connectors
-Hotchkis Lower Trailing Arms
-Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V Serp Belt
and either
-Inland Empire Driveline 3" Aluminum Driveshaft or
-Ligenfelter 3.5" Aluminum Driveshaft

Do you really need to know your fuel pressure?

[LwnGy83]

Sounds like a good list... have it man. Should be a good mix that'll work well together.

[badbird02]

of course the fuel pressure gauge is a good idea it can tell you so many different problem.

Clearview Cermachrome Coated Headers

I have never heard of these headers. Did you maybe mean another brand like CIA? Them and pacesetters are the only companies I know of with headers for our cars.

[BLLDOGG]

its useful to have all those gauges but not needed considering your list. also, CIA, pacesetter and also RKsport makes headers for our cars.....:coughcough 97rs4life coughcough:

Those will be a waste of money. MSD does make a good set of plug wires that won't lay against the exhaust manifold like Taylors do. I bought the generic set and cut all of the wires myself, good way to know every one of them is long enough.

oh yea forgot about rksport, thanks blldogg

With that list on a 2002, I would say ditch the headers, since the '02's have tubular manifolds anyway. You probably won't see much out of the DIS-4 either. You might wanna do the wires and coil packs, but that's about as far as I would take it. As far as the suspension stuff goes, I would say all that chromemoly is wasted money. Here are a few items I would recommend:

SLP ram air kit
ZZP TB spacer
DS loop
K & N or Holley air filter (if you don't already have one)
A double roller timing chain (maybe, depending on mileage)
Poly torque arm bushing
TA rear end cover and stud kit
Bilstein or Koni shocks

Are headers worth while on a 2001? Do they have tubular manifolds?

[Ike]

Meh, wouldn't replace the coil packs unless one goes bad, either (then replace them all). The stock are fine.

2001 had tubular manifolds as well. 00-02 got them.
