The making of a track queen - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I have recently been blessed by a new job with an outstanding compensation package. This has allowed me to almost pay the camaro off.

With that said, I might look into a new DD and start the process of upgrading / changing out parts and tires to get the camaro into track mode.

My list so far:

Wheels / Drag Radials
3.91 rear gears
Auto Trans (which one?)
Gutting as much weight as possible. Rear seat, passenger / driver with replacement of lighter.
Roll cage
Forced Induction

My question is what auto trans should I be looking at? Also what converter would be best?

I have 475rwhp at the moment so want something that can handle 700+ with my thoughts of going forced induction.

The options are limitless. At 700 hp and fi i wouldnt be looking at 3.91s...I also would be looking at drivetrain.If you would like to give me a call we can go over a few different options.980 521 0722. Call anytime and congratulations

Sounds like a good plan.

We offer a great IRS 9" package that can handle anything you can throw at it, we are also a ProCharger dealer so we may be able to save you a bundle by doing a package deal.
Give us a call if you have any questions on anything, we're pretty helpful.

Thanks
Chris

4l80 ftw! Or a th400 if you don't need overdrive...

I would only consider the 4l80 for a street car.We can set you up with everything soup to nuts for an unbeatable deal that cant be matched.Give me a call when you can.

If your going to drag race it, turbo 400 would be a great choice.
