2013 Camaro SS

[amboy49]

I have a bone stock 2013 SS Camaro with 11,000 miles on it. I don’t want to turn it into a 10 second quarter mile car but I’d like to “wake it up” up a little. Hoping for a few suggestions for bolt ons that would be in the $500-$1,000 range and/or perhaps a shop in the central Indiana area that I could take the car to. Keep in mind I know less than nothing about where to start. From minimal research perhaps CAI, a tune, exhaust, etc ?

Thanks in advance

His name escapes me but there is a shop in Anderson that is very well known for engine and trans tunes on a dyno

CM is the man to ask, he is a bowtie guy.

As is its high 12's low 13's depending on the weather. You could probably just change the rear end gear ratio and find that little extra pep you're looking for without breaking the bank.

For the budget and objective, tap the ecm.

CAI, Tune, Long Tube Headers, exhaust if you want the sound (these have pretty good exhaust system).

The issue is you will not be able to do much for $500-1000, especially if a shop does the work.

Biggest bang would probably be CAI and engine and trans tune ( assuming it's auto). Maybe 30-35hp gain.

https://www.camaro5.com/forums/ is a good resource.

Long tube headers, CAI, and a tune is where most people start. Rear gears, especially for manuals. Stall converter for autos. You aren't going to get much done at $500-$1k, especially if you are paying for labor.

Mike Norris is who I would highly recommend. He’s in Plainfield. As others have said, can’t get a whole lot done with that budget. A dyno tune would be a good place to start.

As others have said…CAI, then long tubes, then tune IMO.

Tires are oft-overlooked for increased performance.

If you've gotten used to 400+ HP, another 20 - 50 isn't likely going to be a "wake up". You didn't note trans type, if automatic a different TCM program could make it more fun to drive.

Maybe if you elaborate on the behavior you want to change we can offer some better solutions.
