First things first you may want to spell "Camaro" right.. "What would you change" is a broad question as well.. Which v6 are we talking about 3.4L or the 3800?

What have I changed..








.and a custom built exhaust including cat, which I hate the sound of so will be building another setup..
Reprogrammed the trans for better shifts
Run v700 kumho victoracer super soft compound auto-x tires 265/45/16's
Moog HD stabalizer links.

Future: Modified Eton blower/ or TT, ported heads,or aluminum heads, stroker kit, independant rear, carbon fiber conversion. Not just a panel here and there but ALL of them.. Standard trans, etc,etc,etc................

To add: you can hit lt1 stock numbers and more N/A or even with an l67 topend swap, exhaust, pulley, tune. No need to add the extra iron for that kind of power.. There are 3800-II f-bods in the 8's 10's-12's on turbos and SC too. Some with minimal bottom end work as well..

I can see I'mma get along good with you asscans
I'm not really going to do alot of engine stuff, my ideas so far have been fatter tires, it already has new shocks in the rear. If it calls for it then I will do the front. I'm also thinking about getting a z28 rear end to gain the LSD from it.
I'll do a little suspension.
I have some 0 awg wire I'm going to use for the 3 major ground points.
I've noticed a drastic price drop in H.I.D. lights, so guess what, Both the high and the lows will be H.I.D.s. That shouldn't cause a problem if wired properly with relays, correct?
I'm a fan of a nice stereo, and I have alot of stuff around the house and friends houses that I can put in, Punch power 800, ect..
I really like the double din touch screen dvd HUs. And I'm a wiz with bondo and fiberglass so the bezel will be cake. I also have experience building fiber glass sub boxes and wrapping vinyl.

Later:
After I have her a little while and can look around at diff models I might do an exhaust.
Swap some Leather seats in there and a fresh black paint job and I'm in love.

Smittro, I've been reading the v6 write up you posted, great info there. I've also read some of your posts and your knowledge is noteworthy.

Check your RPO codes on the door.. If one of the codes is (y87) it already has a z28 rear.. I have a y87 code car but the rear will have to go.. 10 bolt rear = junk out of the box..

Tell me about the top end swap please.

The top end swap from an l67 car will take some good fabrication skills on your part.. The eton 90 breaths from the back side of the blower since it's from an FWD w-body car.. You'll need to get the TB around to the front and as you can see there is'nt much room under the cowl.. BUT, if your willing to do the work you need everything you can get for the most part off of the l67 engine, heads (iron), cam, lifters, push rods, injectors, injector harness, etc.. You'll also need a healthy understanding of how to wire things and what pin outs to use from your ECM.. Then you'll need a professional tune to bring everything into line.. The swap is an immediate 40-50 crank hp.. With a few more ponies gained over that with a 3.4 pulley and the compression from your l36 pistons..

[Smittro]

Our v6 cars have really no need for super fat tires in stock form.. Better to get some stickies than just wider.. Tho wider does help for medium compound radials..

[Smittro]

Thank you for the acolades..
