I am car guy, looking to mod my SS.
I've been searching these forums for bolt on mods, seems like the usual... Airbox/intake, MAF, Exhaust, etc...
Will my car gain any "noticeable" increase in power from the SLP intake?

He's right. You will notice a small change in the car. Its well worth the money as they are base mods any way that you will need if you want to go bigger latter down the road any way.

What about those SLP "PowerPacs" ? If you go to LMperformance.com you can find them there.
http://www.lmperformance.com/5648/1.html They say with SLP: headers, midpipe, catback, MAF, Airbox, Tuner, etc... you can achieve 400hp.

Over $3,300 for that little stuff?
Don't get that package...buy the stuff individually, and dont some of the stuff in that package...

Thats a hell of a list. I dont think it would make 400 to the ground but i would think you could dyno out around 345ish give or take to the ground. Maybe around 400 to the crank or just under.

Ok... This question has probably been asked 100 times...
What is the best, cheapest, safest, fastest way to make well over 400-RWHP on my 2001 Camaro SS?

The only way you can make that much power for your budget is with nitrous. Your engine won't last long without supporting fuel and spark. Either do the simple bolt ons (gears make a big difference relative to price), or save up for more potent power-adders.

For $1000 you can do some decent mods. Are you doing the work yourself or paying someone to do it for you. If you do it yourself I would open up tour exhaust and intake first. Long tube headers with high flow cats, high flow air filter for a start. You have an SS so you might not want a air lid or cat-back exhaust. For a little more you could do a cam as well. That would really waken things up a bit but might be a bit to costly right now for your budget. Paying someone else to do the mods is going to eat up money fast!
