You would have to do a custom setup...... and invest in a tire company..... as a turboed 8 liter would smoke the tires if you even were thinking about stepping on the gas.

Hence the "be prepared to spend money"

But a turbo'd V10 would be awesome!

But on the cheaper side an SCT Tune would probably make some noticeable improvements.....

Maybe a free flowing air take/exhaust system...

with the right tires and traction bars, it would be lucky to chirp them...

back when I had my camaro, the tires it came with if you sneezed it would light them up...invested in some rain racing tires, and you really had to try to get them to break loose after that point...those tires were sticky! even in the rain the car that normally is worthless in the rain actually hooked up and held the road tight. with the right tires any vehicle can have trouble breaking the tires loose.

like my BFG mud terrain KM2's for example; my truck has trouble breaking them loose on wet pavement unless I REALLY try, it wont loose traction. just hooks and goes.. (probably why my last 6 speed broke tires didn't give, and something had to...)
