Need help beating local jckass
Well on the drive home a couple modded camaros and z06 kept jacking with the ole stock C6 base. So I am done and want to get this car done ..
figure I am going
tsp or speed headers
stage 3 btr or stage 2 tsp ( unless other options )
trunion kit / roller
tune
yank / or circle D stall 2600-3000

If you're just going to drive it on the street and do a little stoplight grand prix, I think you'd be better off going with a power adder over the heads/cam route. Those cams you're looking at combined with that torque converter are going to kill your gas mileage, especially city mileage. Going with the supercharger could pay for itself over the cam/TC in gas savings.

Not a big fan of the adders. But sort of figured mileage was going to go down. It going to be stop light dragging frequently. Guessing the smaller cam will be better and smaller stall. So the btr 2 with a 2600k. Nothing beats the chop of a nice vette but not chasing sound either.

(PS the term "modded" is quite vague...)
In that area, you'll always be getting gapped no matter how far you go, so let that one go, LOL...

Use the BTR stage two cam with their recommended valve train and trunnion upgrade. It won't kill your fuel eco.
Use anything but Tx Speed headers. Use 1.875" primaries. Your choice whether you use catted or non catted connector pipes. Won't make much difference power wise.
Use a quality 3200 rpm converter.
Use a Vararam CAI.
A ported and rod modded LS3 intake manifold would be a nice touch and help with the power on the top end.
You'll compete with a stock Z06. As to whether you can compete with anything "modded" depends totally on how much the other guys are willing to spend. The old "Speed costs money how fast do you want to go" thing applies here.

One Camaro I can’t and won’t **** with is a zl1 with a healthy cam and tune
other one is a z06 has headers and cam Tune manual car
Camaro ss 2012. Cam. Intake tune. Exhaust and he said internal work 🤷♂️
other is a Mustang gt. Exhaust and tune
just ran a stock ss with paper plates and got him from 30 roll
other one is a z06 has headers and cam Tune manual car

your **** is stock why you racing them lol
i recently did texas speed ported heats, cam motion 219/230 cam 620" lift, pas3400 and it's a beast
recently spanked a kid in an ls7 cadillac from 30 roll. You does those mods you will beat all those cars you listed
from a 20-30 roll as long as you hook. I hook pretty good with 20" pirelli trofeo r tires.
You know what mods you need to do so why all the drama posts, lol

Just know that no matter how fast you think you are, there's always someone faster. Spend 15 large on your rig and there's always someone who's spent 20. Also know that doing more than a little street racing is just dumb. It never ends well. If you're running around with a street hard on, you'd better be on drag radials and hope you don't have to take a curve at speed.
In one of your myriad earlier threads, you mentioned a fun street ride. That's where you need to be. Not chasing your tail trying to keep up with the street warriors.
