To get 300 your looking at heads, cams and a full exhaust. That's a decent chunk of change, or go with a SC....that's roughly $4K, of you can piece it together for cheaper, but by the questions you are asking I don't know if that would be a good plan to take.

Sounds like you want a quick car, have some gears and a SC and be done with it. Find a shop and give them your credit card LOL.

ORRR get another Camaro because it still stands that mod for mod, LS motors respond better to mods than our motors do. Some Ford worshipers here will get all mad about that comment but it's true lol

Yeah gears and a s/c are fine. I know of people who have s/c on their cars and they daily drive them all the time.


The 2v is Meh but it is possible to get you good n/a power. Don't waste time with a cai.

Yeah if your just looking to increase your acceleration get gears.
I'd consider Pro50 3.90's or FRPP 4.10's.
I have had FRPP 4.10's and 4.30's.Since I have been driving my Ford Mustang
more with FRPP 4.30's for everyday driving my MPG is terrible and I think
if you drive more than 50% freeway/highway you are going to hate the
higher rpm's I know I do since I'm going to the Chevron or Texaco
gasoline station to fill up more.I wish I would have went with Pro50 3.90's
or kept my FRPP 4.10's in my rear end.

My car is a automatic so what gears would be best? And a supercharger would be okay for day driving but would it make my car loud?

4.30s won't make your gas mileage horrible. The rpm difference between 4.10s and 4.30s are minimal and 4.30s will make your car quicker.
