What would be the best (not too expencive)headers for my 89 camaro rs?
best Exhaust?
Cam?
Rear end Gears?

 

just start off with edelbrock headers, smog legal

go with the ceramic i regret not going ceramic.


cam, i like my 3.27 rear end as far as a cam talk to alex one of the mods he had a full on tbi

 

How much do those headers usually run for?

 

ceramic with y pipe i around 450.

and eric if u like 3.27, why did u bid on teh 3.45? lol

btw will's car rules.

 

hookers headers with y-pipe.

 

Best headers? Most of this board will recommend the Hooker 2055s. Stay away from Flowtechs.

Best catback exhaust? Depends on what noise level you like. Any aftermarket catback is good (except flowmaster) as long as it's at least 3 inches in diameter.

For some more exhaust info, check out the link in my sig to my backpressure FAQ.

Cam? If you want it to pass smog without some work I wouldn't go bigger than about 218 duration (dual pattern or single) @ .50. That seems to be the uppermost limit for easy ca smog. I'm going with a cam that has over 230 duration (dual pattern), but I also have the hookup.

Rear Gears? For a TBI you can go a bit bigger than a TPI car. If you get a cam I'd highly recommend 3.73s to help you get into the powerband a bit quicker. You could go 4.10 if you want, but it's a little much for most people. I don't mind mine, but you might.

Oh yeah.. get a freakin' posi.

Also look into a good torque converter for when you get that cam. Look at something that stalls around 2500-3000 with a low STR rating so you don't cook the tires on the street.

Remember with a TBI tuning is a MUST. After you do a full exhaust and maybe the intake, you'll want to start looking at a chip.

 

get a carb

 

hey tony i thought your getting the xr276hr, which is 224/230 duration. or did u change your mind again?

 

yes i want bigger. bigger cam for a bigger motor

 

only way to go

 

Then why wont you just buy my cam?

 

which one is that? the f*cked up one?

 

no, the brand new one ive mentioned many times before.

its the same one in my sig, except never used, i went to a small base circle version, and im keeping this one around. i dont know why. too lazy to send it back to summit.

200 its yours.

 

ooh right

dunno maybe. i kinda want bigger.

what would u take for it?

 

reread my post above.

 

did u edit that or was i just too lazy to read the whole thing?

 

I think you are tired.

 

What are the sniffer laws like up their?
