WAS GOING FBO WORTH IT? BUILD BREAKDOWN | CAMARO SS 

Thank You for sharing this and all your knowledgeable input Bro 🤙🏼

i knew this was in miami when you said calvo. Calvotuned is a great tuner!!!!

I bought a 2016 ss camaro in 2016 I added cold air intake the biggest stainless I could and a large cam plus a couple odds and ends i had all done buy a great tuner stuck in about 8gs two speeding tickets later I give it to my daughter for her 50th birthday I sure miss it I kicked alot of ass great car need something fast again like a cadillac v maybe in summer 😀

Beauty of a beast👏🏼

Great vids thanks for the description and list of all the parts on the bio

Awesome video Very good info for anyone looking to build a fast 6th gen Camaro

Was tryna get my setup just how yu did it glad it would work out 2022 LT1

man i love camaros 🔥

With exception to the TB, Intake Manifold, and CAI, (I use K&N Typhoon CAI) I have the exact same mods. Mine was tuned by Phoenix Performance Calibration. Been running on it for over 18 months no issues and at the strip. I plan to do more to the car, but just found it funny that we would be using near identical parts. In my case: 2" SE LT (Cat Delete) 3" SE X-Pipe K&N Typhoon CAI Stock Suitcase for the moment until I get the axle back which will be MBRP DIY E-85 Flex Fuel (from Wild hammer as well) Tuned Ran me $3500 installed. Figure you paid $1200+ for the intake Manifold + 103mm TB so that's about $1800 total. Little more expensive for me but I'm not mechanically inclined like you are so I wouldn't have been able to do my own install. And yes, I have the NGK Plugs as well just not installed, I have to have the tranny flushed, filter changed, oil changed, intake cleaned, and the NGK plugs installed this spring. I also already picked up a pair of Nitto 555R2's for the back for this summer. :) I am however opt'ing for the Stage 3 LT2 intake with 95mm ZR1 TB soon.

I have a pretty similar set up to yours, but I had to pay someone to do it, when you got chronic pain. Definitely helps to have people help you. Wish I could work on my car without problems it use to be so much fun.

Great video brother I just subscribed to your channel.

Thanks a lot for this video and the input you share about the built/tune of your car. It’s exactly what I was searching for concerning a Camaro (2)SS 1LE. Because whenever I’ll be able to afford it, I also want to push the power, torque and sound “a little” while leaving it N/A. Just can't take out the cats over here in 🇩🇪, other than that I'd probably also take the MBRP.

Great build, my next mod is headers but in my state I can't go catless. Trying to find a good tuner locally is sketchy around here.

Waiting to order 2” headers speed engineering for mine also after that I need a tb and e85 and tune. Only problem for me is I gotta have sent to Oregon because I’m in Cali. Only reason why I’m not fbo yet.

I have a 2017 SS Fifty Edition and I went with CAI, LT2 intake w/ LT5 95mm TB, ported heads, stage 2 cam kit from Cam Motion, ARH 1 7/8" headers, cats, x-pipe, mid-pipes going into the stock NPP muffler. I'm looking to get an axle-back to complete the NA build. What suggestions do y'all have? I'm thinking Borla but unsure

We have the same exhaust and headers. Only I did 1 7/8" headers. I am going LT2 intake. Not going to port either. E85 will be installed and tuned in here end of Feb. What did you dyno? I am hoping for 470 to the tire. I went with Cordes Performance Tuning. Nic D did the tuning. If you are in Arizona I recommend him!

I have a 17 1SS M6 and have been on the fence about fbo or save for a ZL1. What sucks is I can fbo, withiin a year, or wait a little longer an hopefully, depending on life and the car market(and the old lady),and get a ZL1. Guess I can’t go wrong with either haha

I really been thinking about switching from the ported LT2 and 95mm to a ported MSD and a 103

So 2 inch headers are better for top end??

Where did you get the car tuned?

I removed the engine mounts one at a time and went from the top to install the headers....there are benefits to being a professional mechanic.😅

What are the numbers that this makes?

You can add the 2 inch headers without porting with the default engine?

My question is did u install all the parts and then get it tuned or after each piece did u have to get it tuned? and how much power are u pushing with the fbo?

Did you use 1 step colder spark plugs? In my car I did 1 step colder NGK iridium and it’s working beautifully, but to be honest som of misfiring when I start it cold start in cold weather under 0C/32F (winter) My car run with benzine not E85

I seen people with fbo Camaros running a 10.5 60-130, I would be embarrassed, stock I did 10.79

Hey man Did Calvo do any tuning with the 6 speed transmission? Like remove any of the nannies that GM programmed in ?

If you want more top end should have ran btr trinity or hi ram msd is better to get off the line faster

Bro how does the headers sound with the MBRP Axleback in person? Does it get to obnoxious? Or is it a good nice race car deep sound?

Is your msd manifold ported ?

What’s the whp you’re making now?

So you running 9’s in the 1/4?

Does it drone?

That’s dope man I want to have a similar set up but I was told using that Air Force manifold is pointless with out a camshaft upgrade. What was your baseline before the FBO ?

So just checking ….FBO is going to be a term we use now on a regular basis ?

Brother I live in Florida. Who do your tuning?

How much horsepower are you rocking with these mods?

What's the final HP ?

have you upgraded your fuel pump?

header install cracked the spark plug most likely

What’re you making wheel HP?

Estimated hp increase?

Wait til you drop a cam and do heads.

Nice set up but why does people always say FBO without a cam ??? Texas racing FBO IS HEADS CAM INTAKE INTAKE MANIFOLD FULL exhaust

Cam Next?

Forged wheels. Get those next. And watch howbthe car responds.

Almost* fbo

If it’s stick shift yes worth it, if it’s automatic no point when the car is basically driving itself and let’s be honest boring lol

I have a question and would love anybody to input a answer. I found a 2016 2ss for 28k. It has 1 7/8 headers, ported manifold and it’s on e85 making 500rwhp BUT it has 92k miles. Is that a dealbreaker for y’all or would I be ok looking at higher mileage for these cars
