Correct! Money was not my motivation. I wanted a powerfull sleeper convertible, & I got it. In time I decided I wanted more power, so I added the K&N with Hypertech mod to the computer. My power to weight rather is now better than the V8 & I'm still a sleeper. Not to mention, I'm faster even when I don't use the NOS 🙂
V6s are fast ish yeah a non stock v6 vs a stock v8 would be close but the v8 has so much more potential. But I too own a v6 camaro. Then I also own giant 454 big blocks in my c3 or my dad's nova with a cammed 396
I would also add a throttle controller. And yes I know that it does not make more power. But the use of a throttle controller helps to manage the cars drive ability. After installing my throttle controller I was constantly telling myself" This is how it should have came from the factory."
Honestly. Adding all that to a V6 may make somebody feel better. And its no doubt better for the car. And I'm sure it runs great. But if someone truly didn't care what somebody else thought, wouldn't leaving it alone convey that? I've had my 2010 2ltrs for almost a month. And yea the V8s and Challengers and Stang bro's like to rev around to show dominance. But I honestly don't care. It's got the 20 inch wheels. Its got the halo headlights. Its got the mini spoiler. And the previous owner tinted it with an eyebrow as a bonus. And im Happy. So take what you want from that. Just drive what you like. Who cares what people think. Rad car though dude. Keep it runnin.

@@mikenonya3167 Wasn't meant to be an insult. If you are happy with what you have more power to you.

Nice you were able to get your MPG back, and torque...nice mods to get improved performance...70 HP is really great...cool it compares well with the V8 version...great video...
ive owned 2.0 RS, 3.6 LFX, 1SS, 2SS, and now a 22 2LT RS 10A trans with NPP exhaust and a cold air intake, i like this 3.6 LGX RS better than any camaro ive ever owned. so you v8 owners can bash on v6 owners all you want , i think the v6 is much more responsive than the stock v8 handles better. the LGX 3.6 has 6 BOLT mains, this engine if it were not for the push to electric cars would have eventually been GMs main stay engine. it already puts out close to 500 with twin turbos which cadillac has already used to race. now thats a stock engine ive seen stage 1 supercharger engines putting out 550. so v8 owners be ware
Yes, that Spacer keep the air intake much cooler Especially on the llt engine. I'm Doing the spacer, ported intake, 80mm(OVER KILL) throttle body, and installing nitrous today in the garage. who says a v6 cant run..LOL I'm going for 400+ HP well break over need to get back at it. still have the main nitrous line to run.

Cool, i think the tune on its own is the real winner,. Header and intake aren't really a big difference , i would keep stock everything but the tune and possibly the diff and keep the wheel size no more that 255 on 17r so you get to high speed quicker
The mods work together, not one of them could have done this on its own. The tune is currently the weakest part of my build. I am hoping to dyno tune it sometime in the future but there is at least 1 more mod I need to do before that. The biggest difference comes from the headers. Allowing the car to breather free is the most important step you can do to get power out of any engine.
I have a 2014 Camaro ls with the LFX motor and i just put the JacFab 3/4 inch spacer on... and yeah big difference> Tracy Lewis doesn't make the spacer for the LFX motor..... The lfx comes 323 stock as well, you should think about a jet performance mass airflow sensor also .
I don't think you will be able to match a V8 5th gen without dropping some serious money down the tube especially if you're going after a 6th gen. I don't know much about a six cylinder just to get my SS 1LE to 650 HP is $14,000 for parts that's just for 150 HP. You'd have to get at least another 60 HP to even think about a V8 six speed and that's gonna cost some money. Plus you'd have to upgrade some other parts like maybe gearing and so on. I've seen a V6 beat a stock SS but the guy had twin turbos. I wouldn't worry about HP unless you got money to spend when it breaks down and it will. Every car V6 or V8 that has been modded has broke many times . I would just enjoy your camaro the way it is. It's running and that is all that matters. You start bringing on more HP and it will be towed. Never fails all of us would like to have more HP but sometimes it's just best to buy the car stock with more HP
$900 for 70hp is a great deal but going beyond that would start to get expensive . The 3.91 gears will do a lot to make up for it on the street since goofing around and playing really doesn't need a top speed. On a large track the V8 would still dominate. on the strip... I need to get my 60' time down and do the math. As for the other components there are supercharged 6s running 600hp on the factory transmission. And I am not really trying to make a V8 killer, just a V8 keeper upper that is a daily LOL
@@GregorySalvatore why did your motor blow? You said it had to be pulled in the video?

@@CorvetteC6-LS2 I saw a video where a guy had Cold air intake + Ling tube headers and KN supercharger for a 6th Gen stock V6 on a Camaro. And the video had him on some type of machine that measured out 424 HP and 383 LBs of Torque. So a boost of 335hp to 424hp and 284 Torque to 383 Torque. So supercharger is the fastest way to get close to a V8. But cost like 6k. However if u do other mods. U can easily catch them. Because 6th Gen V8s that aren't ZL1s are 455 HP and 450Lb of Torque
I just bought a 2012 camaro rs and I used to have a 2010 Chrysler 300c 5.7 but I’m wondering how strong is this V6 and how much power can it handle I heard it can handle 500hp and a lot of people made twin turbos for it and a procharger
Dont talk about being man enough to get a manual transmission, when complaining about V8 guys saying you arent man enough to get a V8. Especially when you dumped a grand into a car for 50 HP at the wheel (what really matters), when you could have gotten a supercharger for the same price and have gotten WAY more HP and performance. Stay humble.
Thats a bold statement for someone who doesnt know me or what i do in my free time. I pulled a engine out of a "totalled" Z06 that was rear ended for $250 at a scrap yard, and put it in my buddy's 3rd gen camaro he got for $500. You can find used boost for a grand genius.
Nice vid, where you getting your numbers from? Let's crunch some numbers your set up as it sits let's say 360 crank give that a 20% to wheel loss that puts you at around 290 wheel and let's say the l99 V8 Same year at 400hp at a 20% crank loss that puts it at 320hp you also have to factor in the car weight that the V6 needs to push vs the V8 your still gonna be underpowered vs a stock V8 l99 😬
you are correct I am not there yet. I am using dyno numbers of 300 at the wheels. Stock V6 in 2010 were producing 250 RWHP. so using the percentages I am about 375 at the crank. But my dyno graph looks like crap and 1 day I will have it dyno tuned and add a 3.91 rear. While I know that doesn't add HP it should make it quick enough stop light to stop light. 😉
BBK Headers, Cold Air intake, ported Throttle Body, Ported Intake Manifold (Gasket Matched) Trifectia Tune on 93 Octane, computer says 462HP, I know this is Wrong but Whoa
So I’m new to the car mods game...reason I didn’t buy a V8 is because I’m 22 so I’m not even trying to pay out only for insurance but I’m looking to add more HP to V6 Camaro,I have 2012 LT model so what can I do or put on it
Hey brother this is an awesome video. Do you think id be able to do everything you did on my 2016 v6? And did you install any of these parts yourself? If not approx how much was the labor costs
Most of these parts aren't going to work on your engine. For your car you would want a cai, larger throttle body, tune, high performance down pipe and high flow exhaust. All the work was done myself or in conjunction with other work (headers were done when the engine was rebuild so no additional labor charge)
A coworker sold me a2012 lt imperial blue 95k on the dash when pandemic started 6700$ it’s was his wife’s 3 years now 110k on dash still got it the car came to me I didn’t go chasing it everyone told me I got a steal
The ram air systems utilize a deflector that draws air from the grill and deflects it over the radiator, bounces off the hood and rams it into the airbox. Great Question... I think I have my next video topic.
Hello sir, sorry do you think that modifications will be able to a 2015 camaro rs or may will be better items that can fix for that model? And how many seconds you camaro do to 0-60mph?
Excellent questions. I kept it simple & inexpensive & got good satisfying results. As for my 0-60 ? That's funny because I've never done a real serious timing. I should probably try to do that. I'll bet it's under 9 seconds, but that's just a guess 🤔
It was never dyno'd stock but there are plenty of video of stock cars dyno'd and all are at right about 250 to the wheels. This was dyno'd properly after all the mods and also dyno'd in between using software that turns out is pretty darn close.
@@GregorySalvatore thanks for this video. I just bought the 2020 comaro 1LE. it comes with a v6 3.6 lt engine and it has 335 horsepower. Now I want to slowly build it up as a project.
Um... You should have expected to get ragged on. That's been happening for 60 years. As someone who has owned both v8s and v6s this is something you would have learned in highschool.
should have gotten a new engine from Jasper engines with tronger forged aluminum JASPER-engineered pistons with a smooth, fully-machined, anodized crown, which provides a thermal barrier and reduces carbon buildup. JASPER-engineered pistons include additional oil return holes (14 total). This increases oil drain back by 250%, or greater, to reduce oil consumption and prevent oil rings from sticking. JASPER installs a robust two-piece 2.0mm oil ring for improved oil control. OE uses a thinner, 1.5mm, three-piece design on LFX models. Top ring land is profiled to prevent scuffing at higher temperatures. An additional accumulator groove is machined into the piston which decreases the pressure between the 1st and 2nd ring land and prevents the upper (compression) ring from unsealing at higher RPMs. JASPER supplies an updated valve cover gasket in our JR set to assist in proper PCV operation and to help prevent oil consumption. 100% torque-plate honing of the engine block, utilizing a torque plate and specially-designed Grade 10 ARP head bolts. This provides a cylinder wall geometry that matches the cylinder head as a complete running assembly, for improved ring sealing. JASPER-engineered pistons have a wider graphite coated skirt than OE to help prevent dry startup and piston scuffing. An improved piston skirt profile provides greater stability in the cylinder bore, reducing wear, and providing better ring sealing. JASPER’s piston has a 40% wider piston pin surface area than the original design to improve durability and promote scuff resistance. 100% installation of a set screw on the reluctor wheel, which prevents it from spinning on the crankshaft, eliminating timing/runability issues, or even crankshaft damage. Chrome nitrided steel top rings are installed for improved durability, heat resistance, and reduced cylinder wall wear. Thicker, fluoroelastomer polymer (FPM) coated Multi-layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are installed to ensure superior protection against gasket leakage. Our gasket is more robust to maintain the correct compression ratio. 100% installation of NEW head bolts to ensure even clamp load. Block and heads are resurfaced to a 50-150 Rz finish. 100% installation of NEW camshaft thrust washers, which prevents camshaft endplay and noise on early-design heads. Crankshafts are machined and micro polished to exact tolerances for improved bearing oil clearance and reduced wear. 100% installation of NEW nitrided valves for improved heat resistance and reduced valve guide wear. 100% live-run tested to verify proper compression, vacuum, and oil pressure. 100% tested intake and exhaust cam actuators, to verify proper performance. 100% black light leak tested, to ensure the unit is leak free. JASPER includes a fuel injection kit, which includes fuel line(s), injector seals, and a high pressure fuel sensor (on the LLT applications), this prevents fuel spray leaks that can potentially lead to a fire hazard. (PTFE Seal Installation/ Sizing Tool sold separately.)
Up the gear ratio to 390:1 and either kiss your economy goodbye, or expect your cruising speed to drop 10-15 mph to keep the engine RPM’s in an economical range.
yes but the CAI and Intake manifold spacer are do it yourself items and so is the tune. The only thing I recommend having professionally installed is the long tube headers.
After you add the gears you will take a v8 camaro off the line but your top in going to be shitty and the v8 going to run around you..... Gears are for short distance racing
With all do respect a full bolton v6 including gears and stall is still a high 13 second car. And crank hp means nothing....rwhp an torque are your best inidicators. At the track you will lose to as stock manual or auto v8 by 4 cars or more in your v6.
ModernMuscleCar that’s just facts 😂, and who has an ss and doesn’t modify it, I’m putting a stage 3 cam in next spring, and it already has fbo/nitrous😂, these mods for the v6 will make it keep up with a 6th gen v6 at most
And yet the numbers prove at least 360hp at the crank. But thank you... I got an idea for another video from your comment, sometimes i just cant think of ideas but I did make a video around your comment. Thank you again
Chump? My back is messed up & my legs can't take it anymore. I wish that weren't so, but that's life. So I'm a chump? Eat my dust. My automatic shifts tight & quick. I've got K&N; Hypertech; & NOS. I'm faster then the stock V8 and that's without pressing the button. I like being a sleeper convertible. Later dude 🚘
Agree. Easy for me to say, but don’t “settle”. For the sake of discussion CAI, headers, quality catback,and tune basic bolt-ons. Easy 3k. Step up to a SS. Then it starts all over. Mods. It’s a disease we all have being car guys. More power!!! It is more satisfying doing it yourself, though.
I hate the get a v8 people. Have they raced a Porsche or a gtr Nissan , even a 296 Ferrari. No they'd get gapped by a mile. Engine size is a thing of the past
driving manual in the US is a piece of cake I do not know why americans think driving manual is hard lol...Have you guys ever tried driving in asian countries with a manual? Americans nees to stop bragging about manual because the whole world knows americans can't drive lol
Buy a junkyard V8 pull the v6 make a boat anchor out of it put in v8 and get the car you wanted in the first place!!! Any mods done to the v6 is a waste of money
I drove both V6 and SS and the V6 felt like a cut rate rental car all around. Just buy a SS its a camaro after all not practical by any means get the sound power and handling and options factory.
Best thing you can do is sell it and buy a V8. Why bother spending all that money on a v6? That car is way to heavy to get any impressive performance which your obviously after. Be different if we were talking a smaller car. Outside of exhaust mods anything less that forced induction is a waste of time and money.
The price difference between a V6 and V8 is about 10k or more. I have spent less than $1K in performance mods. I don't need "impressive" performance, nor do I need a car payment.

But my dyno graph looks like crap and 1 day I will have it dyno tuned and add a 3.91 rear. While I know that doesn't add HP it should make it quick enough stop light to stop light. 😉
Where do you find your headers and what headers you got I need it
BBK Headers, Cold Air intake, ported Throttle Body, Ported Intake Manifold (Gasket Matched) Trifectia Tune on 93 Octane, computer says 462HP, I know this is Wrong but Whoa
Where can you go to do performance upgrades installed by professionals?
I use MCRP. Www.Mcrp.us
Would just doing the manifold spacer be a good idea? Most bang for the buck? What does it do?
So I’m new to the car mods game...reason I didn’t buy a V8 is because I’m 22 so I’m not even trying to pay out only for insurance but I’m looking to add more HP to V6 Camaro,I have 2012 LT model so what can I do or put on it
How you blowup your engine
I had a 2015 v6 and I honestly thought it was pretty fast stock
What kind of rear differential are u putting in
Plan on putting 3:91 gear in.
I bought a V6 firebird because I like the LOOK. I know better to talk speed and power with a V8 owner.
i didn’t buy my V6 bc i didn’t have enough for a v8. i bought a v6 to put a supercharger on it.
And have you? Where'd you get it?
Dan VanDyke yes. i got mine from overkill. just search up overkill superchargers. very happy with it but it’s not cheap
@@dominicops7961 how much more hp did you get
Is the 3.6 cadillac cts same set up
.Thank you
Sylvain from Montréal
yes some years of the CTS came with the LLT motor
What was the overall cost of the rebuild as i am a 2010 owner as well and looking to the future.
I broke it down in the video. I bought quite a few things used and on sale.
i couldn’t find the intake manifold spacer
Hey brother this is an awesome video. Do you think id be able to do everything you did on my 2016 v6? And did you install any of these parts yourself? If not approx how much was the labor costs
Most of these parts aren't going to work on your engine. For your car you would want a cai, larger throttle body, tune, high performance down pipe and high flow exhaust. All the work was done myself or in conjunction with other work (headers were done when the engine was rebuild so no additional labor charge)
New subscriber!!!🔥🔥🔥
I bought a V6 cause I knew I was going to end up driving it in the snow some day
Which happened
Lol smart that's why I want one for the winter and going to work and the Stang for the summer
Can I do any of this with my 09 llt v6 Caddy?
probably, same engine but the parts may be different.
A coworker sold me a2012 lt imperial blue 95k on the dash when pandemic started 6700$ it’s was his wife’s 3 years now 110k on dash still got it the car came to me I didn’t go chasing it everyone told me I got a steal
What grill is that?
APS Billet Grille amzn.to/3EmZdlw
Nice mods, good breakdown and future plans!
where is the air coming IN to the filter? is there a passage in the hood?
Nice video, I will try to import these produts to Brazil
I got that grill on my 2012
How you gone get mad for V8 guys roasting you but you roast people with automatics. Hypocrite much...lol
Please tell me what exhaust your getting for 350$ I’ve got a 2018 Red line RS and every system I’ve found is in the neighborhood of 1200-1500$
I talk about it here and links to the products I used are in the description
th-cam.com/video/lYT-7GjyZAQ/w-d-xo.html
i have 2018 rs it sounds great with just straight pipe and xpipe tbh.
Can you send me all the parts so I could order everything you got on your car? I have a 2014 camaro v6
The parts I used to gain performance are listed in the video, most of the parts for the 2010 would be different for the 2014.
@GregorySalvatore I have a 2014 v6 camaro what mods will fit on mine from the one's you did on your car ?
Very Cool,, But you way lowball the prices of what you did unless you know friends with the shops and things.
The prices are for parts. The way I did my build I either didnt pay for install because it was part of a larger project OR I did it myself.
Where is the air for the ram air coming from?
The ram air systems utilize a deflector that draws air from the grill and deflects it over the radiator, bounces off the hood and rams it into the airbox. Great Question... I think I have my next video topic.
Comes directly thru the front Grill and over the radiator. There is a 5 inch. wing the helps to scoop it in. Its called a Vararam CAI.
Keep up the good work
Hello sir, sorry do you think that modifications will be able to a 2015 camaro rs or may will be better items that can fix for that model? And how many seconds you camaro do to 0-60mph?
Excellent questions. I kept it simple & inexpensive & got good satisfying results. As for my 0-60 ? That's funny because I've never done a real serious timing. I should probably try to do that. I'll bet it's under 9 seconds, but that's just a guess 🤔
Also Amazon is telling me those DNA Motoring long tube headers won’t fit my 2012 Camaro. Is that right? (2012 Camaro LT V6 3.6L)
Correct, they will not work with the LFX engine. The LFX has integrated exhaust manifolds that are part of the heads.
Gregory Salvatore could you direct me toward a manifold that will? Would really like to increase my MPG if possible
The LFX motor uses downpipes. Here is the closest thing to long tube headers as your gonna get. amzn.to/2SV0PgT
Gregory Salvatore thank you so much; and thank you for your time!
Defiantly gonna get this!
nice grill
Honestly 🗣️
cost of long tube headers?
I think they were around $200 but I wasn't able to find them. They may no longer be made.
These are estimated HP increases right? I.e. They haven't been dyno'd before & after?
It was never dyno'd stock but there are plenty of video of stock cars dyno'd and all are at right about 250 to the wheels. This was dyno'd properly after all the mods and also dyno'd in between using software that turns out is pretty darn close.
How difficult is it to get that Vararam Air Intake in there?
Very Easy!!! Did it on a 30 minute lunch break in the parking lot.
@@GregorySalvatore thanks for this video. I just bought the 2020 comaro 1LE. it comes with a v6 3.6 lt engine and it has 335 horsepower. Now I want to slowly build it up as a project.
I’m getting v6 Camaro cuz I lost my 5.0 in a accident and I still owed it
Bless your heart
Where did u get the headers
I found them on Amazon a few years ago but I haven't seen them around lately
Hey nice video. Could you send me the links to your mods ? I wanna mod my 2010 v6 as well.
The links are in the description and there are more at www.amazon.com/shop/dezines47?listId=2RT5NFIRTIZMY
Um... You should have expected to get ragged on. That's been happening for 60 years. As someone who has owned both v8s and v6s this is something you would have learned in highschool.
should have gotten a new engine from Jasper engines with
tronger forged aluminum JASPER-engineered pistons with a smooth, fully-machined, anodized crown, which provides a thermal barrier and reduces carbon buildup.
JASPER-engineered pistons include additional oil return holes (14 total). This increases oil drain back by 250%, or greater, to reduce oil consumption and prevent oil rings from sticking.
JASPER installs a robust two-piece 2.0mm oil ring for improved oil control. OE uses a thinner, 1.5mm, three-piece design on LFX models.
Top ring land is profiled to prevent scuffing at higher temperatures.
An additional accumulator groove is machined into the piston which decreases the pressure between the 1st and 2nd ring land and prevents the upper (compression) ring from unsealing at higher RPMs.
JASPER supplies an updated valve cover gasket in our JR set to assist in proper PCV operation and to help prevent oil consumption.
100% torque-plate honing of the engine block, utilizing a torque plate and specially-designed Grade 10 ARP head bolts. This provides a cylinder wall geometry that matches the cylinder head as a complete running assembly, for improved ring sealing.
JASPER-engineered pistons have a wider graphite coated skirt than OE to help prevent dry startup and piston scuffing.
An improved piston skirt profile provides greater stability in the cylinder bore, reducing wear, and providing better ring sealing.
JASPER’s piston has a 40% wider piston pin surface area than the original design to improve durability and promote scuff resistance.
100% installation of a set screw on the reluctor wheel, which prevents it from spinning on the crankshaft, eliminating timing/runability issues, or even crankshaft damage.
Chrome nitrided steel top rings are installed for improved durability, heat resistance, and reduced cylinder wall wear.
Thicker, fluoroelastomer polymer (FPM) coated Multi-layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are installed to ensure superior protection against gasket leakage. Our gasket is more robust to maintain the correct compression ratio.
100% installation of NEW head bolts to ensure even clamp load.
Block and heads are resurfaced to a 50-150 Rz finish.
100% installation of NEW camshaft thrust washers, which prevents camshaft endplay and noise on early-design heads.
Crankshafts are machined and micro polished to exact tolerances for improved bearing oil clearance and reduced wear.
100% installation of NEW nitrided valves for improved heat resistance and reduced valve guide wear.
100% live-run tested to verify proper compression, vacuum, and oil pressure.
100% tested intake and exhaust cam actuators, to verify proper performance.
100% black light leak tested, to ensure the unit is leak free.
JASPER includes a fuel injection kit, which includes fuel line(s), injector seals, and a high pressure fuel sensor (on the LLT applications), this prevents fuel spray leaks that can potentially lead to a fire hazard. (PTFE Seal Installation/ Sizing Tool sold separately.)
If you,re going to spend that money, might as well put it aside for a V8, no?
Looks like the 2.0T engine🧐
Hello, McCuiston Automotive Science here, what is that fin silver device with a red cord? #KJC #NETCC
If I ever get that working the way i want i will share it in a future video but it is not anything for power.
@@GregorySalvatore The 2016 lsf lsx air intake manifold doesnt fit the 2010 LS V6 3.6L
So kids, moving the device from next to the front passenger side fin device to where the air filter was is sometimes a good decision #JISDAUTO
Up the gear ratio to 390:1 and either kiss your economy goodbye, or expect your cruising speed to drop 10-15 mph to keep the engine RPM’s in an economical range.
Lose a few mph on the top end which I am not going to use and minimal fuel economy lost, and anyway, I didn't buy a camaro for fuel economy.
How hard was it to put the manifold spacer in? And how much at the shop?
Did it myself. Pretty easy if you have the right tools.
manifold spacers do NOTHING zero.zip nada...its a myth Lovo see you put this car on a dyno cause I'll bet you dont have close to 375HP
Thanks! Much appreciated!!
Less than 1,000 that's without the labor though
yes but the CAI and Intake manifold spacer are do it yourself items and so is the tune. The only thing I recommend having professionally installed is the long tube headers.

Base camaro v6 is 323 Hp, V8 450 Hp
That depends on the year. In 2010 the v6 had 304 hp the v8 had 2 engines the auto came with 400hp the manual came with 425.
@@GregorySalvatore Correct, I just brought a 2011 RS 323 Hp fast enough for me, but may put a V8 later. Thanks for the videos
Put supercharged overkill vortec 3 and make more horsepower to the wheel them ss around 390rwh 💪🔥⛽
Thats not completely true .. some people prefer the v6.. better gas mileage, better in snow, and yeah save money on purchase and insurance.
Dope
Wow! I could've had a V8!!!! LOL
After you add the gears you will take a v8 camaro off the line but your top in going to be shitty and the v8 going to run around you..... Gears are for short distance racing
This Camaro must be an LLT
yup
i dont know if id want my intake right behind my radiator lol
With all do respect a full bolton v6 including gears and stall is still a high 13 second car. And crank hp means nothing....rwhp an torque are your best inidicators. At the track you will lose to as stock manual or auto v8 by 4 cars or more in your v6.
ModernMuscleCar that’s just facts 😂, and who has an ss and doesn’t modify it, I’m putting a stage 3 cam in next spring, and it already has fbo/nitrous😂, these mods for the v6 will make it keep up with a 6th gen v6 at most
@@gapyalater2651 Yep....I'm fbo as well and looking at Btr stage 3 cam. No nitrous for me.
Somebody just broke into the 12s the other day with a 12.92 with less mods but with drag radials I believe
car is nice, but no way is it making 370HP. maybe 340-350.
And yet the numbers prove at least 360hp at the crank. But thank you... I got an idea for another video from your comment, sometimes i just cant think of ideas but I did make a video around your comment. Thank you again
370hp to crank is possible with maybe a small loss to wheels so 280-300 whp?
@@GregorySalvatore Whats your rwhp?
ModernMuscleCar it was 301
@@gapyalater2651 Remember hp can be adjusted on any dyno. Torque is where the v6 needs help.
Chump? My back is messed up & my legs can't take it anymore. I wish that weren't so, but that's life. So I'm a chump? Eat my dust. My automatic shifts tight & quick. I've got K&N; Hypertech; & NOS. I'm faster then the stock V8 and that's without pressing the button. I like being a sleeper convertible. Later dude 🚘
Simple answer for more power... Buy an SS Camaro and be done with it.
L G 😂😂
Agree. Easy for me to say, but don’t “settle”. For the sake of discussion CAI, headers, quality catback,and tune basic bolt-ons.
Easy 3k. Step up to a SS. Then it starts all over. Mods. It’s a disease we all have being car guys. More power!!! It is more satisfying doing it yourself, though.
Irrelevant, comment sweet.
He's not running nothing more than 337hp trust me
I hate the get a v8 people. Have they raced a Porsche or a gtr Nissan , even a 296 Ferrari. No they'd get gapped by a mile. Engine size is a thing of the past
driving manual in the US is a piece of cake I do not know why americans think driving manual is hard lol...Have you guys ever tried driving in asian countries with a manual? Americans nees to stop bragging about manual because the whole world knows americans can't drive lol
10 grand more for a V8 that's 1 or 2 seconds faster in the 1/4,? No thanks..
Now let’s face it most people are bunch of chumps & can’t handle a V8 so they get a V6 😂😂😂
375 bs
Buy a junkyard V8 pull the v6 make a boat anchor out of it put in v8 and get the car you wanted in the first place!!! Any mods done to the v6 is a waste of money
I drove both V6 and SS and the V6 felt like a cut rate rental car all around. Just buy a SS its a camaro after all not practical by any means get the sound power and handling and options factory.
Trifecta tune is garbage. as for you hp you dont anywhere close to what they so you will get.
i nearly had a stroke trying to read this
Best thing you can do is sell it and buy a V8. Why bother spending all that money on a v6? That car is way to heavy to get any impressive performance which your obviously after. Be different if we were talking a smaller car. Outside of exhaust mods anything less that forced induction is a waste of time and money.
The price difference between a V6 and V8 is about 10k or more. I have spent less than $1K in performance mods. I don't need "impressive" performance, nor do I need a car payment.
@@GregorySalvatore Well if your happy I'm happy for you.
lol
Just buy a v8
