[Newbie] bought a new 2023 1LT, future upgrades.

Hello all from Texas,

New to the forum and my first Camaro. Last time I was remotely close to tinkering with a car was about 18 years ago with a 90 vette(L98), times have changed and I'm still learning the new age of tech lol, please bear with me.(I got a 2014 silverado but still not as fancy as the Camaro)

Anyway got a 2023 1LT V6 Auto. Enjoying the feel of a new car. I love it. Lots of plastic. My intention is just to drive it maybe once or twice a week, average 2k a year sorta deal, my truck is the daily.

I'd like to make it a bit more zippy, possibly gearing, I like Edlebrocks small 1.7 roots supercharger, hoping cost would go down a little once the model discontinues(wishful thinking) small gain of hp, but I like the roots style. I'm aware the exhaust it's what holding me back but I'd wanna keep it stock too.

So either gears or edelbrocks roots(saw overkills procharger) really cool setup too. I'm in no rush for either just would like to hear opinions if anybody has done either, thanks fellas!

Congrats on the new ride - enjoy it!

I wouldn't change anything in that car, at least not right away. At a minimum, drive it until the bumper-to-bumper warranty is no longer valid. Use that time to get really comfortable with the car to know it well before you make any adjustments. That car will deliver a good overall experience for you as it is.

Thanks, I agree a v6 with 330 +/- hp is quite remarkable, the ebrake is kinda throwing me off a bit, generally I'll apply the ebrake first then park, and vise a versa when going to drive(gear then brake.

When the ebrake is applied is the resistance normal? Or the slight push back of the brake pedal normal when the ebrake is engaged?

Here's some e-brake info that might be useful: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=617631
