  • Tuning

    Ok guys I would like to know how I can tune my camaro for optimum performance after installing a cam, headers, exhaust and intake. I was going for a turbo but opted out since if it screws up my butt is going to be handed to me. Just want to say thanks to blizzard and this site for the help though :)
    Also, would getting a PCM tuned from pcmforless.com help in any way after the installs?

    Re: Tuning

    not if going with a cam no...hp tuners or standalone...if what you said above is all you plan on doing, hp tuners is fine...if you want to eventually go extreme, invest in a standalone now.

        Haha, did that long list of things turn you off to it? I don't blame you though, I bought a whole other car just so I could turbo it and be able to get to work in case it ever dies. And I wanted a black one anyways.

        But yeah, I would never do pcmforless. Every car is different. Even stock. I talked to someone at the track that claimed he ran high 14's on a stock setup. That was never confirmed but he didn't have any reason to lie since he had other faster cars he really raced in. He had a new GTO that night. Anyways, there's no real way to accurately tune a car unless it's a hands on situation.

          if a 3.8 and you are done modding after this, just get a dyno tune. If you are going to dive into modding it more later then invest in hptuners

            It is a 2000 and it's automatic. As for blizzard, I knew it would take a lot to make the turbo setup and I am still looking to it in the near future, just not now. It is my daily driver and I can't afford a bad tune and blown engine :) I think I am going with hptuners.

            (On the other post about my blown gasket) : going to continue working on it tomorrow with my dad, hopefully see the damage... Cracked head or not

            Everyone tells me to junk my camaro and I know I should, It's a weird feeling. I think I am in love with it. Is that normal?:P

                    At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                    Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
