There may be things like a fuel pump or aluminum radiator that may not add HP but it's going to help get the most power out of ur engine. But you should think bout suspension because then u won't be getting the power to the ground the best way you can! It sounds like ur having fun with this! Also think about new gears. _____________________________ [image]http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff142/Camarokid16/?action=view¤t=Carandlegopictures005.jpg[/image] 1994, 3.4, 5-speed, 32mm front swaybar and 25mm rear, kyb agx adj struts/shocks, strut bar, eibach pro kits, Lakewood adj. panhard bar.

RE: engine building!!!!!!!! - 6/9/2007 10:25:21 PM    CamaroKid16   Posts: 575 Joined: 1/1/2007 Status: offline on these engines a gutted exhaust is never really good. They need back pressure. Go with a good full exhaust but put a cut out in there too. So then you can really make it rumble. I'm not sure on how to do that, maybe some of these other guys know more about it. I would say go muffler, but also have the cut out straight piped. It's always fun to be able to push a button and just UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!! _____________________________ [image]http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff142/Camarokid16/?action=view¤t=Carandlegopictures005.jpg[/image] 1994, 3.4, 5-speed, 32mm front swaybar and 25mm rear, kyb agx adj struts/shocks, strut bar, eibach pro kits, Lakewood adj. panhard bar.

Z28Pete seems to have a huge amount of knowledge about 4th Generations Camros. I would ask him. I'm sure he can help you better than I can but I can tell you this. Your looking for an 11 second car then start with your engine. Port and polish the heads or get a good set. Maybe AFR or a good name brand that will more than out flow your stock heads. Upgrade the cam but don't go too wild cause you still have to pass emissions. Build up your block to handle the beefed up high end. Start there first. Having a loud exhaust does nothing for your speed. Suspension is fine but wait until you've built up your engine. Start there and then work on your other things like the bolt on's and suspension. Just my opinion and don't worry the guys here won't do you wrong. You'll get alot of good information just be patient and good luck.  _____________________________ 94 Z28 Edelbrock heads Edelbrock cam Edelbrock headers Proform rockers Flowmaster cat back Cold air intake PCMforless http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq203/Perea14_2008/ATT173192.jpg (in reply to 1bad96Z28) Post #: 20
