I think the '01s and '02s have the ls6 intake already don't they? Also I called slp today and talked to them about my clutch and they said it already is a z06 clutch. anybody know what I could get that is better than that?

Throw a tornado on there and you will gain minimal 50 hp over those SLP 345 claims

Don't forgot your smooth bellows for max performance of those products also...I'd bypass your Throttle body while you're in there...good for at least 12-15 more ponies

Any '02 SS could get either the 325, 335, or 345hp. My black one has this option. Only the mid year and after could get the Blackwing lid since SLP was still getting approval by GM. I bought my Blackwing lid later since my car was #135 and not available yet. So I guess my car is technically a 335hp with the CME.

no sir popping the clutch makes a burnout way cooler feeling,like your staging a drag car,but allthat sudden impact to the drivetrain will eventually break your ring and pinion,all it takes is one time really,but with my 410 gears id just put it in first and granny clutch it,it would spin faster and faster with just gas pedal.but i love to race from a roll ,and popping the clutch helps get a jump.when i put a 12 bolt better beleive im popping it every time.but id watch for that 10 bolt. ive broke mine 4 times.one time was the limited slip,then put an eaton posi, and now i just break the gears all out.FROM POPPING THAT CLUTCH

**mdion@bellsouth.net** · 07-06-2006, 07:14 PM

this is the 345hp

**ErikElvis** · 07-06-2006, 07:30 PM

all actual hp gains and claims aside if u wanna know if u have it as an option check the doorjam. Whether it really matters.... anyway mine has the 345 option

**Ripper415** · 07-06-2006, 07:30 PM

I hate to break it to you but you DEFINATELY dont have 345 hp. Going by the ebay link you gave to the car on your cardomain page http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...RK%3AMESE%3AIT
it's 1) not a 2002, but a 2000 and
2) not a true ss, hell its not even a V8, its a V6! V6's had like 200 hp, so even with the center mount exhaust and a few other random upgrades you're definately looking at less than 250. i hate to ever diss another fbody owner but my 2 main complaints about you.
1) your cardomain page is so rediculous it looks like a damn myspace page (those rap videos auto playing at the very bottom of each page arent helping either), and
2) with these cars, upgrades to their performance are the main idea, not flashy body kits and neon lights. if you want that go get a civic and put a 3 foot high spoiler and stickers on it.

ps. check the ebay auction btw, cause the car is listed as a salvage title with over 80,000 miles. in other words, itl crap out on you before this christmas.

**baker5209** · 07-08-2006, 07:15 AM

You went from a ls1 to a v6 and dont even know what is in you car.

**Ripper415** · 07-08-2006, 09:27 AM

yea haha. just by reading his posts you could see he was like some 17 year old naive kid. it's too bad he got ripped off on the car though. id be surprised if that ugly car lasted him 10,000 more miles.

Is there a code in the driver's door that will let me know?

Hey kid, you have really been duped. Just with a quick glance at your car, it is obvious it is not an SS, no matter what the fake sticker says. That is not an SS hood or spoiler...or anything else. With a glance at your engine it is easy to see that you've got a base 200 HP V6 Camaro with a bunch of aftermarket appearance mods, and a couple itty-bitty performance mods that might boost HP up to 215.

Did the seller claim it was an SS? If so, then it is fraud and recourse action is available. If not, and you just took it upon yourself to believe you have an SS, then you have more serious problems than can be dealt with here.

**bene** · 07-08-2006, 10:27 PM

Ehem, that car that you all looking at was "HIS" car, he sold it. He has now own a SS vert which he can't figure out somehow if he has 345 hp package or regular mill 325 hp SS. Which I don't really see why it'll matter, its not like it will stay stock.

Oh my freaking gosh!!!!!!!! I've been ragged on for my old car HAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks man! I leave for a weekend and comeback to see this mis understood mess.

1) The pewter v6 that you see on my cardomain page and on my avator IS MY OLD CAR!

2) I know that my car is the stock 335hp option. I had a conversation with slp over it.

3) To think I'm a 17 year old who sold an SS to get a kitted up v6??!!?? C'MONNNN!!!!!!!!!! Some of you guys have got me ALL MESSED UP!

When I get some free time I'll probably set up a new cardomain for my new car.

Also I did check my passenger and driver side door and they both do have SS info on them.

Lastly I've got that tire mod on point

I don't spin out in second at all!!!! Only in first then by the time I hit 2nd I'm just flying. Now I want to know how to build a bad ass 6spd tranny that I can pop the clutch on as much as I want and nothing will happen.

Any Ideas?

**breakparts** · 07-10-2006, 03:00 PM

dude the t-56 tranny can take the hit unless you grind it like an ass,but its got alot of internal upgrades.but there verry pricy.ive heard the dodge viper t-56 has some good double rows and carbon fiber forks or something, so theres mods for it for sure.

**7camaro7** · 07-10-2006, 05:27 PM

To describe exactly what I want it would be a tranny that I can pop any time I want and still be very nice to drive everyday without having to worry about anything. I do have a Hurst short throw shifter and I love it so it is rare that I may grind a gear. I've only done it twice since I've had it and I can tell when it will do it so I'm even more careful now.

I understand a 12bolt is necessary, but why? does it hold the ring and pinion together better?

OK, glad you cleared that up. So, please get rid of that avatar.

**Texas Mouth** · 07-17-2006, 03:30 PM

On your answer is no, you just have to learn how to feel your peddles. You can feel when your tires come loose the hardest part is to brake and gas at the same time!! Its alot easier with a line lock. their about $150.00 dollars and well worth it.

**breakparts** · 07-17-2006, 04:12 PM

7camaro7-yes the 12 bolt holds the ring and pinon together better.mor material on the housing avoids flex,which causes the gears to grind themselves to death,its called PINION DEFLECTION.and the small 7.5 inch ring gear dosent help with being so small either compared to 9 inches in a 12 bolt
