Also customer service comes to mind...

I have a 2.9L whipple on my 2SS for 3 years now.

Great drive, relatively reliable (I've had one broken S/C coupler and one faulty bypass vacuum valve), good power & torque. I hate the "whipple" sound at idle mind you.

The one thing I would have done would be to get a full ZL1 HP fuel pump/lines/injectors and had these done at the same time. Personally I would reconsider this if you go ahead otherwise future boost & tuning options are pretty limited.

With that mindset, the LT4 blower conversion is definitely the way to go. Either locate a reputable tuner who frequently does the conversion, or just read enough write ups on the conversion to learn the swap. Either way, it is the best bang for buck and most oem looking set up. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I drive a 2023 2SS 6spd manual

Thanks for the input

Either a ported 1.7L or Edelbrock or Magnuson 2.65L

New Camaros should have the LT4 intank fuel pump so a custom tune will net greater results than an older LT1 pump.

Magnuson makes a great kit. OEM quality and is the most reliable kit hands down.
