Hey- I just joined, I've got a '98 Camaro SS. Silver, Z06 Vette rims. Flowmaster ext, K+N filter. Real minor bolt ons. I'm looking into the SLP Head/Cam package or a Supercharger next spring. Anyone have any opinions on which would be a better choice. Also in all reality what should my car be running (aprox) in the 1/4. I had a Mustang GT that ran 13.70's and the SS feels waaaaay faster. But I'm not able to get it to the track, so I'm guessing 13.40's or thereabouts. Agreed?

First off, welcome to the boards! This is a great website with great people.

That is a very nice, very clean Camaro SS you have. I would go for the SLP head/cam package if it were me. I don't have an LS1, though, so don't just take my word for it. Although, it seems to me that your car would look a little better if it was lowered. If it was me, that is what I would do first, but it's all up to you.

Welcome, once again.

13.4 is a pretty good guess... although you do realize that your Flowmaster cost you about 5 horsepower from stock, right? That is a great sounding exhaust system, but it is not a performance one.

I would go heads/cam if you just want a strong increase. If you want to get crazy, then supercharge it.

Very nice SS. Any reason why you want to go with the SLP h/c package. $$$$

Call Sam at Combination Motorsports. They are one of the best LS1 aftermarket speed shop in the country, and fairly reasonable. Their head work is second to . Many people have brought them heads from places like MTI and with just a little touch up they are out flowing MTI's work by far. 702-98-8504, www.cmotorsports.com

Welcome to f-body.com.....

I was doing 13.3 to 13.5 totally stock when new.

I too, go back and forth over supercharging or naturally aspirated. Both have their benefits. I really like a STRONG naturally aspirated engine though.

RumP....rUmmppiTy...RuMp.......

I would not bother with the SLP package.

Far better heads can be had at the same or less $$
Patriot
AFR
Etc......

For the cam, anything from a 224-ish at 114 Lobe Separation Angle-LSA (which makes 400 RWHP with tuning), to a nice 230-240 ish at 112 to 110 LSA which makes 450 to 500 RWHP with the right heads and intake and tuning.

Of course..... long tube headers with any of the combos!
