Depending on power I think a new fuel pump is in order. Maybe lowering springs like Strano, better shocks and of course sway bars are something you should absolutely add to your list. Better brakes also
Yes I agree with you on all those parts.I may do another video in the future on this subject.But I have alot to learn about doing youtube videos still so most of my videos are lacking but in time I think I can improve.Thanks for watching.
headers, slp loudmouth exhaust with a off road x pipe, intake manifold, bigger throttle body, slp ram air intake, fuel injectors, cam, mass air flow sensor, gears for the rear. there you go. i’ve built a few of these. Texas speed makes the best bolt ons for your ls1.
Good content. Thanks for keeping the info plain and simple. Love my 2001 Camaro SS, with t-tops, CME, and 6M. Start with a plan for how you want to use the car, and go from there. First I did when I bought it 18 years ago was put BMR subframes on it, torque arm, panhard bar, adjustable LCA, trans tunnel brace,and front strut tower brace. No rattles, it’s solid as a rock. Start with a strong foundation and work up from there. I then added AFR 205 heads, Comp Cams springs and cam, JBA exhaust (was a Cali car, so smog), SLP y-pipe, SLP Flo pack, Taylor spark plug wires, and Royal Purple fluids. Hot Rod TV did a show many years ago, where they took a stock LS1 Camaro and put all Royal Purple in the engine, trans, and rear, and it picked up about 10 hp at the wheels (LOL), so every little bit counts. Also has Strano Bilstein shocks and Eibach Pro kit lower springs. It still needs better brakes, deeper gears, and probably stronger rear end, but it traps 113 mph, and pulls down 27 mpg when cruising on the highway at 75mph...it’s my favorite in my stable. I subscribed.
Thanks.We still have a long way too go when it comes to making videos but we have learned alot.This video your leaving a comment on is one of our first so it is pretty rough.lol Your car sounds awesome it has all the options I would have wanted.Other than being an SS my car really isn't at all what I would have wanted but I wanted an 4th gen SS and they are very rare in this area and it was in excellent condition so I went for it.You were very smart on your mods.Thanks for watching and commenting we love interacting with viewers.
lower control arm re-location brackets are good bang for your buck. I did these and kept my stock LCAs - sits nice.
I thought they were just for lowered cars.Thats something new,Wonder if that would help with traction?
@@LSxMotorsports2021 pretty sure they can go on any height car. My understanding is that it can help with wheel hop. I got some weld-in sub frame connectors at the same time as the LCA re-location brackets, car feels more planted in the rear now.
@@peterwindle4453 Awesome to know,That sounds like a future upgrade for me.Thanks for watching and sharing some info I wasn't aware of.
If you're doing headers replace the K-member as well and change the spark plugs, do it all at once. I did. 😊😊😊
Detroit speed makes excellent suspension as well. definitely have it dyno tested when all that work is done.
Save your money on heads, ls1 flow very well , you aren't spinning huge rpms skip the headers, dual exhaust , cam - with springs kit , Cai, a vortech Vsi-3 supercharger with intercooler , tune it and 500+ rwhp ....now add an Auto trans cooler, those suspension upgrades with nitto drag radials and you'll be running good.
The best mod for your buck is headers. Frees up about 40-50 rwhp.
Yes headers are a must have mod if you want to make good power.
When trying to restore and mode my 2001 this will help a shit ton
Glad it helps.Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.
I want that one that makes me go faster.
With all that added power the 10 bolt rear in these cars will not hold up especially launching and hooking up with drag radials... so with all this added power I wouldn’t even bother sticking with the 10 bolt and I would upgrade to a solid 12 bolt from strange Engineering or if you’re making a shit
Ton of power I’d go with the 9 inch
I agree with this especially with a manual car.But I also have seen many automatic cars go low 12s and high 11s without breaking the 10 bolt.
Thats why i keep my tires bald...easy on the rear end because its not hooking..and i look cool fish tailing away into 2nd! 😎
thanks when i brought my camaro it had a different set up in it they probably was finished but i think this might help after i get my cluster fixed
Thanks for watching.
where can you get a cluster fix mine get at 70 then suddenly drop to 50 slowing down
Well I am not really sure.You could go to a shop and see if it is a bad sensor.Probably the cheapest fix is to find one at a savage yard or check on eBay.
Great information video! 👍
Thanks.But I have alot of learning to do when it comes to making youtube videos and presenting information in a clear way.But I will do better I think in time.But thanks for watching.
I have a 01 z28 stock, only have a muffler delete. What should I do first?
Well it really comes down to your budget. Most people start with an air lid or cat back exhaust. Then usually a set of long tube headers if you don't have to deal with emissions testing. There is also what they call free mods which don't really do much but they are free such as throttle body bypass and porting the stock throttle body. If the 1/4 mile performance is important to you Drag radials are a great upgrade and if you have an automatic a torque converter is a great upgrade and if you have a manual practice can really lower your 1/4 mile times but with a manual you will have to soft launch it because the rear end is very weak so if you want to launch hard you will need to upgrade the rear end which won't be cheap. There really is no limit to what you can do on these cars but as with everything it can get pretty expensive.
you have a beautiful camaro. stay safe
Thanks.I like it.Its not exactly what I wanted but these cars are getting hard to find around here.Thanks for watching we really appreciate it.
i wish i could send you a video of mine
That's actually a great idea.There must be a way to do that.If your serious about that I will find a way.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 how do we do this?
i want to show you my camaro and a video of it running .
Does the Speed Engineering headers fit the stock exhaust on 2000 Trans Am?
You would have to buy a ypipe from them to go with the headers.The ypipe is a offroad pipe without cats.They sell it separately or as a pair.
great video , thank you
Thanks for watching.We really appreciate it and thanks for the encouragement.We are a very new channel so we have alot to learn when it comes to making videos for youtube but we will improve.Thanks again.
What website were you in when explaining the speed engineering exhaust ?
I believe it was speed engineering's website speed-engineering.com Now while I still think they have the best exhaust for the price I have to admit that it is very loud which is what we all like but I mean it is also very loud even when cruising which can get annoying if you drive your car alot.Thanks for watching.
I think porting the throttle body to add power is a myth. I did mine years ago and also had a ls6 intake to accept ls2 102mm throttle body think lingerfelker charged more to weld ls2 flange on my intake then the intake cost originally and that didn't change my hp neither because i never maxed the stock one out to begin with.Lol Even now with a blow dryer
I think you're probably right about that.I ported the stock throttle body on mine and noticed nothing.If there is a gain it is very minimal.
Thank you , not a lot of information for LS1’S on the tube.
Hey thanks for watching.That was one of our early videos so it is not that detailed but plan to make another in the future that is more detailed with better video.But thanks again for watching we really appreciate it.
Do you have any videos on installing a transmission cooler?
Unfortunately no I don't,I did most of my modifications before I started the channel.But I am sure there are lots on TH-cam.Thanks for watching we really appreciate it.
Hey man what bodykit is that looks amazing.
Thanks.It was on the car when I bought it from the previous owner.I actually prefer no ground effects but I definitely won't be removing it.Thanks for watching.
Here is the body Kit
shop.teamxenon.com/collections/body-kits/products/5670
4.11s , cam, shaved heads(more compression) ported heads(by hand save $$) , port throttle bottle , slp lid k&n filter, exhaust, suspension, et streets, tune, etc good or 400 plus hp all this can be done in your backyard except shaving the heads depending how crazy you get you might be able to get away with stock injectors and intake manifold
Good set of lifters springs push rods nd stuff for insurance
Yes I agree.
after you buy all that it will be cheaper to get a newer Camaro or covert with all the extra power you want
Haha.Very true but nobody said the car hobby was a sound investment.The best place to start is with a new Camaro or mustang.But doing these mods are usually done over a period of years.For me the 4th gens are my favourite Camaros and it will be years before I have the car finished.It is the experience of doing the mods myself that I enjoy.But what you are saying is true a newer car is a better starting point.
What body kit do you have on it
It actually was on the car when I bought it.I am not sure they still make it but here is the website.shop.teamxenon.com/products/5670?variant=21865523576912
I tried looking on your channel for info about ur front bumper - would be cool to know the name!
Thanks.Here is a link to the site that makes this body Kit.shop.teamxenon.com/products/5670?variant=21865523576912
@@LSxMotorsports2021 ty! N ty for the fast reply!
Rocker arm trunion upgrade
Yes I agree.I upgraded mine when I put the cam in.
I’ve been looking for that rear valance. Did you get it or was it already on your car?
The ground effects were on the car when I got it.While I do like it I would prefer no ground effects and just have the SLP centre mount exhaust.
Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it, I enjoy the channel.
@@6SPDLS162 well thanks alot for watching.We still have alot to learn when it comes to making videos but in time I think we will get better.Coming up in the next couple weeks I am going to Install drag radials and see what the 2002 will do in the 1/4 with traction and I have been messing with the tune.After that I am going to Install a underdrive pulley with no other changes so we can see if that mod is worth anything.And we are soon going to try a full pass with nitrous on the 2016 camaro to see if it will go a 10 second pass on the street.
Been nice if you put the price of the items.
Well all the prices vary depending where you get them and where you live.I live in Canada so everything cost much more because of the difference in money and shipping cost along with duty.The US is the best place to be if you're modifying a car because most places offer free shipping in the US.You can check out Summit racing for most of the prices.
You able to tune my Camaro
Seriously
I just bought the btr red hot cam
I am definitely not qualified to be tuning over the internet.I got my car pretty well dialled in but it took me along time.Many hours making tiny changes.Guys who tune cars have many years experience and can usually make a base tune that is real close based off of you're modifications.I can't do that because I don't have the experience.I need to be in the car data logging and then make small changes then do it over again and again until it's where it needs to be.But if I had the experience I most certainly would help guys out but just haven't done it long enough or done it enough on different cars.
Don't remove the screen from the MAF.
Well everyone has a different option on this subject.But for all you get from it probably better to leave it in.I took mine out but I also calibrated it using a wide band and HP tuners.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 I went with an 85mm MAF.
What brand did you go with?I don't make enough power right now to need one but in the future when I get a good set of cylinder Heads and possibly intake it will be time to upgrade.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 you can get a used Delphi 85mm MAF from eBay for as cheap as $30. You may need an adapter harness if the IAT sensor is in the MAF since the ours are on the air lid.
OK thanks man.And thanks for watching and anytime you see anything in our videos that you disagree with don't hesitate to call us out on it because we are all here to learn from each other.
After spending all that still can't keep uo with a coyote!!!!
The 5.0L coyote is a great working engine no one can argue that.
You should change the title to performance mods
I wouldn't dare change the title now,It is one of the very few videos that we have that gets reasonable views from TH-cam search.Most of our videos don't do very well.
👍🏾👊🏽
What intake is that man looking to buy one for my ls1
It is a Volant Cold Air Intake Systems part # 15958C3 from summit racing.It is ment for a Firebird but will fit the camaro.They also have a version for the camaro that looks a little different.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 notice any difference with it? Been thinking about getting one. Looks cool anyway!
I never really noticed any difference but it already had the slp fow pack on it.The reason I replaced it was because the slp was no sealing properly.It was rubbing the hood and cracked.And I chose it because it does look cool.
@@LSxMotorsports2021 it doesn't rub on the underside of your hood? I've been wanting one of these style intakes, too.
Well mine doesn't,I even added about a 1/2 intch of foam door seal to seal it completely to the hood.But it also sits back about a1/2" further then it is supposed too.I blame that on the SLP smooth bellows but it could just be poorly designed.I had to drill different holes for the brackets that hold the air box in place.And also the one I have was designed for the trans am so that may also be the reason it didn't fit perfectly.But it was easily modified to work and it is completely sealed and I have a hole cut into it so it grabs air from the SLP ram air scoop because the SS hood doesn't supply much air.
