Performance is a long term process, you either wait for deals or you pay for the "in the moment" experience. I have pieced together a SS2 mainly from Gwatney including converter, trunnion upgrade, timing chain upgrade as well as the usuals(lifters, bolts, dampener etc) and have spent well under 2k including some suspension parts and 3.91 gears. So it can be done cheaper if you know where AND when to buy. Best advice i got and can pass along is; take time to build once thus spending only one. Firm handshakes on doing all your work.

Cool I respect your opinion and price breakdown. I have a 2018 I want to do cam and headers. I will probably do a new intake and throttle body. The lifters and rods as well as the other parts that go into the heads.Plugs and fluids and tune. I don’t think I can do that work myself I have some knowledge but I never took apart an engine. I did change the starter on my BMW X3 I had to remove the intake and a lot of other stuff and buy tools. I spent $190 the shop wanted $1800.I don’t think I should touch the engine on my Camaro SS.

@DylanLustick 29 күн бұрын

Definitely man. Lots of good shops around so there’s no down side to handing the car off. Plus the LT1 cam install is a little more involved than the LS3 from what I’ve seen. Those 6th gens move with a good cam set up though. She’ll be fun when she’s done.

@jacksonredd3834 10 ай бұрын

I feel you on breaking stuff.... Usually it's just either bad bolts that previous owners installed or in the RX8 case, it got too hot and cooked everything (prev owner did) and anything you touch is like glass. Then frustration but I try to direct that away from the vehicle

@johncrankshaft2886 10 ай бұрын

@@DylanLustickbro unless you are looking for a max effort build the price of porting will not be worth the gain on a factory displacement LS3. Then again is your money but for the cost if max hp is desired you get a much better cost from a small nitrous kit from NO. I noticed you got an auto, best expense i did was adding a trans dipstick when i was doing my cooler.

@DylanLustick 10 ай бұрын

@@johncrankshaft2886 yeah one of these days I’ll buy the dipstick from JRE. I still don’t understand why GM didn’t put one in from factory 🤦🏽‍♂️. As for the porting I’ll look more into it of course, but as time goes on I’m definitely going to turn this car more to the race car side. Nitrous would make for some good content I’ll give you that much 🤔

@johncrankshaft2886 10 ай бұрын

@@DylanLustick my info on porting came from Richard Holdener so i believe it to be correct with all the dyno sessions they have, the dipstickless trans are a industry standard now; the aisin 8speeds on GM/Toyotas also dont have dipsticks. If you havent done suspension work look into the Lakewood trailing and toe rods bro, right now you can snag a set for about $150 to help with traction.

@DylanLustick 3 ай бұрын

@@normajorge9906 yeah so if you’re going l99 to ls3 the valley cover is necessary. And the trunnion isn’t “necessary” per say, but it’s highly recommended. The factory trunnion is just a bunch of tiny needle bearings and if one of them decides to go on you that’d be a bunch of tiny metal going straight into the engine. So, having the peace of mind, I think, is worth the $200.

@@DylanLustick the trunion is 100% necessary I almost lost my ls1 vette to it. Rocker blew up at high rpm, an outer dual spring exploded on me, and it also took out a chunk of piston, but not enough to burn through. Pushrods will 100% bend on stock engines and I've pulled them out of so many stock trucks it's insane. PRC have been tested to 1000hp and I replaced the Yella Terra's on my LS3 stick SS with them because the Yellas can be loud.
