Mod ideas

Tankz504 · 08-15-2008, 12:21 PM

Sooo I have always been a camaro guy and got a 97 cobra a few weeks back. I have ported/polished milled heads, a o/r hpipe, mac mufflers, 2 1/2 tips, springs, short throw shifter, and thats about it. I spend/save about 200 a week for new perf parts. anyone have any sugestions for some cool upgrades? It cant be to wild since i wanna keep it as a daily driver.

What ratio? I always put 373's in camaros but they have that real long 3rd gear. Would 410's be streetable?

timpryor · 08-15-2008, 12:37 PM

4.10's are perfect in the 4V alot of people even go 4.30's or 4.56's

I have 3.73's if you consider those gears.

4.6stanger · 08-16-2008, 12:14 AM

Dude do the 4.30s!!

raymond8698 · 08-16-2008, 10:39 AM

throttle body,cold air intake,and some streetable comp cams,the latter the more expensive,but you have that nice sound at idle with those cams

H0SS302 · 08-17-2008, 11:15 PM

Only one of those will give ANY gain on his car, Thats the CAI, TB will lose HP for 450 bucks no thanks, and Cams for a 4V with install & everything you are looking at 2k easily. the stock cams are good to about 550hp

Might as well, I really was just saying not to go lower than 4.10's if you have a 4V no matter what.

Ryan If you plan on keeping it N/A........................................4.56's:bo lt:

CobraCommander · 08-19-2008, 11:11 AM

CAI, headers, gears, 100 shot, and good tune, oh an a good set of DR radials.

Save for headers and put the best on it. If you save that much a week for mods, wait an extra week and get the better headers
