Question top end power?

What can you do to add more power to the top end? (70-130) ive already got 3'' turboback exhaust, intake, bc @21psi, and a mail in dynoflash*thanks to Al*reason be, theres a guy with a 02 camaro SS (stock except air filter) who wants to run me. his track times are 13.1 @110 and mine is 12.96@106 . as you can see he picks up top end alot sooner. is there any other mod that can help me out that is somewhat cheap. thanks for any help.

Cams aren't really 'cheap'.

That is the only way, or a bigger turbo would do a it. A 12.9 is damn good, get cams and race gas you will trap over 112 MPH, think about that.

110 is VERY high for a near stock camaro, nearing Z06 speeds. Did he run race gas?

If he in fact has a stock SS (except the k&n) and he is pulling sub 13 passes....he is a damn good driver. Most people bog or spin like hell coming out of the hole in first and are lucky to hit sub 14s. Do yourself a favor...get cams......and race gas . If you ain't cheatn' you ain't tryn'. If driven properly you should be in the 12.8-12.3 range.

A 110 MPH Trap is actually wuite High for a Camaro SS, the highest ever being around 108. Hell even Normal vettes get 108MPH traps at best, Camaros, on average are 105 MPH. This I also know Cuz I would Keep up with them stock in the EVO and pull away, from a ROLL with just a SAFC, intake, and boost.

110 is High for a Camaro SS, stock, 110 is NOT high for a Z06, which has 50 more HP and weighs 100's of pounds less.

I raced a 01 SS that had an exhaust and intake (I have a 3" turboback, dynoflash mail in, and a boost controller set at 20.5 psi or so). We raced from a roll at about 30 mph until 120 or 130 and i had like 3 car lengths on him..

Making more top end in your EVO isn't going to be cheap unfortunately. The cheapest thing you could do is cam gears and a custom tune...but that may not be an option for you since I see you had your ECU mailed in.

110 mph is high for a stock SS unless he was using slicks. I don't think he could do that on the street. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't worry at all, just line up and try to blast out of the hole as fast as possible.
