Just my little .02 ...if it’s a manual, pick up an MGW or Barton shifter with BG fluids

Ported 2018 manifold if you are looking for best bang for the buck. Ported CJ manifold for best N/A results. GT350 manifold is good too.

PMAS intake.

Skip the TB or get the stock one ported

1 7/8 headers over 1 3/4

E85 flex fuel tune if easily accessible (will need injectors then)

Headers, you can see in my signature what my preference is. Kooks is also great.

Go join the All Motors Facebook page and soak up the knowledge there. Hardcore N/A guys.

Also wondering if I need a harness for the 18' manifold or get the lockout plates?

i think most will say either lock out or ask your tuner which may lead to locking them out. If it comes to your preference from your tuner then I guess it'll depend on you and how you(or wife) want the drivability

BMR cradle lockout for sure.....

I've got my 830hp 15" Camaro SS. While she doesn't need nor want hers that fast I'm just wanting her to get a little more lol. she runs 91-92 octane and the motor will not be opened up so if I don't need any bigger injectors then that's a plus!. we have a set of Eibach springs ready to go on and I am purchasing front camber caster plates also. Do I need anything for the rear?

That's some shitty gas man I'd avoid any mods that require a tune... not to disparage all female drivers but you sure she isn't running 87 in it when u arent looking lol run that with a tune you're fucked lmao...

And if something breaks shes gonna say "I told you I didnt want those parts on my car."

The BBK headers are fine. Don't get caught up in the header debate. They are all pretty much copies of each other, since there is a finite amount of space to place aftermarket headers in the engine bay anyways. Take that 800.00 header savings and buy a good intake manifold. Way more power in that design, than headers.

What you pay for is the collector... Alot of companies cheap out on that because a proper merge collector is very expensive.

If you can sell a manifold with 50.00 collectors for 800 vs one with a pair 300.00 collectors for 2000. Most companies will opt to use the 50.00 collector because they know more customers will buy the 800.00 headers...

2nd the BMR lockouts & Steeda delrin bushing kit.

True, that's why I researched the brands and found my 450.00(black friday deal) OBX headers have comparable collectors as the 1800.00 + header sets. I have no issue spending the money, but why would I if someone builds them comparably for over 1300.00 cheaper. I believe the OBX ones are now 750.00 on ebay which is still significantly cheaper with the same features as the 1800.00 headers. People can debate 450.00 header to 1800.00 ones all day, but it really comes down to what value the purchaser perceives he's getting. My 50.00 collectors are welded beautifully with a welded in spike and have a great transition from the pipes to the collector.

Buy and install

1. '18/'19 intake manifold
2. '18/19 stock Cold Air Intake (bigger diameter than '15-'17 & keeps intake temps down)
or...., a GT350 CAI
3. MAK cat deletes (to use with stock headers)
4. LUND Flex-Fuel or dedicated E85 tune
5. 47 lb fuel injectors (you'll need them to run the '18/'19 intake manifold w/E85)

DONE



Forget the:

1. BBK headers (they are no more efficient than the stock headers) = waste of $$$
2. Bigger throttle body (it will give you ZERO gain) = waste of $$$
3. Any aftermarket Cold Air Intake (they are anything but "cold air") = waste of $$$
4. BOSS intake manifold ('18/'19 intake manifold flows better)
