Headers added to 650 hp upgrade package

[butchba54]

My choice will be a l99 with the automatic. Will the 650 hp upgrade be available for the l99 and if so, what does the addition of a set of headers do to the price of the package and how much horsepower does it add, flywheel & rw. Thanks again!

What we have done on all the 650 HP 2010 Camaro engines built for automatic transmission applications is to basically convert them into LS3 engines.

The following is what we would add in addition to what is already included in the standard 650 HP upgrade.

Replace the L99 camshaft with an LS3 and because the L99 is a single bolt camshaft we also include our conversion kit to a three bolt sprocket.
Replace the L99 valves with the lighter 2.160" hollow stem LS3 intake valves
Replace L99 lifters with LS3 lifters and guides
Replace L99 front cover with a LS3 front cover

All of this together adds up to $650.00 above the price of the 650 package. :cool:

In regards to the headers we do not recomend the addtion of the headers with the supercharger package because it would cause a loss of boost from lower back pressure in the system. In testing on the 2010 Camaro SS we have seen very little pressure drop from the stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters.
