Umm yeah, I would not put any more money into a car with 134k miles, just to many things that could go wrong. Check out TSP, a brand new LS2 block starts out at $1200

I need some advice on DOT Street Radials Drag Tires. My question is what is the biggest tire I can out on my 2000 Camaro? What is a good tire? What rim do I need? I don’t want to grind down my calipers like I seen some do.

Talk to Mr. Luos. He's got the TSP 402.

Anything more than 315's and I think you might need spacers.

the only reason i would want something like the 402 or 6.0 is i can use stage 3 heads an make power a little easier plus could really clean up my engine bay

i think my best bet right now is to let it sit and clean it up and do everything i want to the inside and clean it up and under neath it and save for a new block or really good heads and then a block

wish i could win the lottery and just throw a ls9 in there and get a ws6 haha

A high mileage motor really changes the perspective of things. Wasn't aware of that before.
In that case I'd start looking at crate motors as suggested. Although swapping in the LQ motors with more cubes from Texas Speed and the like would be nice. Those aren't simple swaps. They require wiring harness extensions for sensors that have been moved to different locations, fuel system upgrades, and it just goes on and on. It starts adding up quickly.
It's a great idea for a weekend toy. But for what HP level you want to accomplish you really don't need a stroker.

I didn't go back and read the whole thread again, but aren't we talking about a daily driver??

Wanna hear a funny story?

I found a dollar on the floor and went to buy a lotto ticket with it. I bought the mega millions which comes out on tuesday and friday. On Wed morning when I checked my ticket I didnt even get one number. But on Friday, EVERY SINGLE number came out that I had on Tuesday. Was worth 88 million, I felt depressed for a week and wanted to kill myself.

Either way you look at it, he's still gonna be paying a packet for what he wants. Sure the stroker will initially cost more, but over time it ends up working out the same. Once he reaches 450hp, he will most likley want more. There is no way he can make more power w/o going FI. That being said, if he bought a stroker and a forged rotating assembly, he could spray all he wants to and not worry about the bottom end blowing up. He could actually buy a procharger and not worry when he ups the boost. Almost anything he needs for the stroker/new motor (injectors,heads,cam,intake etc...) he will most likley need right now. If he spends a few thousand more, he will def benefit from the extra cubes, and the possibilities are endless after that.

It really depends on what he honestly wants and/or does with the car. It's a sickness. When it gets that far out of control, then another daily driver is needed.

As far as stuff needed right now,,,I was thinking along the lines of using what he already has. His HP goal is small, and could be accomplished with an LS6 crate engine, stab a cam in it and call it done. Everything else transfers over just fine. Simple swap, nothing custom. Easy to make 400+ rwhp with an LS6 and a decent cam.

Agreed. The mod bug is highley contageous and doesnt have a cure. I had it, then sold my car. Hurts me everyday, but the $ I got from it I invested and made a nice profit. Im more concerned about making more money right now, and not throwing it into cars.

I here ya. It's not cheap to do and it never seems to be enough.

**99ss** · 07-20-2010, 06:56 PM

yeah i dont really know what im going to do because i got to get a house soon to and dont wan to have to sell the car after im done haha it would be a shame so for now i think a decent set of heads and intake with a k member will be just fine and just some paint and cleaning under the hood then get the other crap like the rear end and sfc lower and uper control arms and start adding power
