HP gain and 0-60 question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Pete M · 08-15-2016, 08:46 PM

Ok, so I've been on here since late November 2015.
I have a 20151LT
Here's what I've done so far for performance uprades:

K&N Typhoon intake
Apex scoop with WW relocate
Barton short throw shifter
Vitesse throttle controller
Glasspack mufflers and MagnaFlow resonated Xpipe

Planned:
80mm throttle body
Jacfab intake

My questions are, what should I have gained in HP so far, and what is a realistic 0-60 time?

I know I should get an Overkill tune and it's in the plans, but I'm hesitant about voiding my warranty.
I'm not going to get the E85 tune when I get it either

Thanks

260 hp

Most intake claims are roughly 15 rwhp, but once you add that first major mod, regardless of which one it is, everything else after that doesn't add a whole lot. The best 0-60 I had gotten with all of the mods I had was 5.8 seconds. That was with the factory 245s and a manual transmission. I'd imagine an automatic, especially with the factory 275s, would be at least a couple of tenths quicker.

So, with what I have now I should be in the 270-275 range?
I still have the crappy stock 245's on it and now with the Barton, at least I don't miss the 1-2 shift.

Ok, so what will I gain when I add the 80mm throttle body and the Jacfab intake?

Pete M · 08-15-2016, 09:18 PM

But with already having the VTC will it make a real difference adding the TB?

Pete M · 08-15-2016, 09:36 PM

Soooooooo.... it sounds like the next mod should be the intake and keep the VTC.
A dyno before and after the intake might provide some info that hasn't been provided yet?
Hmmm...

Pete M · 08-15-2016, 09:58 PM

Cool, thanks..
I meant intake manifold.
Looks like that will be next on the list for performance uogrades.
If I add the spacer I need to ditch the BMR strut brace, right ?

You have to be realistic here. It's a naturally aspirated gas 217 in v6

Will is working on some tuning fixes for that...i have been testing them for about the last month...dare I say...touchy?

The strut brace fitting isn't effected by it at all. Your engine cover will be a tight fit
