I would like to mod my 99 ss camaro and I was wondering what I can do to it I have a fast intake manifold and fast throttle body and a k&n filter system and a hyper tech tunner and high flow cats and a borla exhaust. what should I do to get a lot of horse power heads cam? what sorta stuff will make me eat srt4s all day with ease ? thanks

A stock SS will eat SRT4s all day.

With that being said, a FAST 90/90 setup won't do much for a bolt-on car, but since you already have it, there's no point of advising against buying it.

Remove the Hypercrap tuning and sell it. A good dyno tune will pick up around 15rwhp. If you're fixed on having a handheld, the DiabloSport stuff is the best for handheld.

Longtube Headers will pick up around 20rwhp and 20rwtq.


A nice cam swap will pick up a TON of power (after you install the longtubes). I recommend the Futral Motorsports F-13 for basically all stock-cube LS1 builds.

Your car should be running 10 mph over a stock SRT-4 right now.. With them suffering from FWD, you should be way ahead of them. Get some Nittos.

Headers as said above. Then think about cam/heads.. If its auto look intoa stall also..

 

headers...agreed

smaller, less complicated things like pulley, and suspension parts are a good bet.

and as stated, if its an auto....gears, stall and trans cooler

 

I dont have headers and have beaten SRT-4s with a bit of ease.

 

First, please use punctuation. It makes it much easier to read your post.

My answer isn't going to make you more power, but it'll definately make your car quicker.

I agree with getting rid of the hypercrap tune ASAP.

If you are an A4, GET A CONVERTER! Again, it won't make more HP. It'll actually cause you to dyno lower, but you'll run ~.5 sec quicker ET's.

If your new to your car. Make sure you have good tires (soft compound) and learn to drive it. Then start modding the suspension so you can hook with what power you're already making. One you've done that move on to the bolt on mods. You could also put some steeper gears in it and run faster w/out adding HP.

Do not skip these bolt ons and just slap in a cam and put a set of heads on. You have to build it up with all the supporting mods or you won't reap the full benefits of the internal mods. You've already gone further than you needed and spent money you didn't need to by putting FAST on your car at this stage, but at least it won't limit you later. Unless you wasted $ on the 78mm set up. Build the car as a whole instead of throwing $ at just the engine for more power.

 

Get a set of longtubes with an ORY, or one with hi-flow cats...And then get yourself a decent cam, and perhaps a good set of heads...However, if your goal is to be able to beat SRT-4's, well unfortunately you are more of a man than me.
