I picked her up yesterday. Had a couple slight issues but after today she will be ready to pass inspection and be completely legal.
spy shot :
I will clean it up this week and take some better pics and post them up but until then this is all I have for you...
98 Camaro SS
magnaflow cat back
hooker shorty headers
global west coilover springs
bilstein hd shocks
Strano front sway bar
1LE rear sway bar
panhard bar
control arms
lid
K&N
B&M short throw shifter
thats aobut it for now... This should keep me going until the ducati next season. :drool:
The original owner had drag radials on it and must have been a great driver or something cause he got it down to 12.8 I believe. My friend (the second owner and guy I bought it from) only ran it for abotut 4 passes and got 13.8. I had a Z28 equipped pretty much the same without the shorty headers and I got it down to 13.2 with practice (I was on 18" Michelin Pilot Sport streeet tires, my buddy on 17" BFG's street tires) so I am guessing with some more practice and a really nice track day I could see 13.1 or maybe even a 13.0... if I am REALLY lucky I could squeeze out a 12.9...
(and if your Jeep gets lonely while you're spending all your time with that slut, the Camaro, she can come stay with us here in Florida... :wink: :lol: )
Actually up until last year that law was the same here in Maryland. Some protestors got together to fight the power and now we are just required to have a Confederate Flag license plate frame... Pretty much changing our scarlet letter from Mullett to Confederate
Yeah but camaros are associated with ******** and white trash and deep south and mullets and confederate flags... We won the right to cut the mullet but still have to be branded some how... I guess driving a camaro itself is just not enough
yeah I know but hey, they came with the car. Im just wondering which would be the best set up for long tubes... I have heard issues with SLP and also Pacesetter... any suggestions?
Krooks and SLP are both fine choices, just remember to order a shorty Y-pipe while your at it, (get the cat-less one if your state doesn't have emission testing)
Also look into a more aggressive cam, even with the stock heads a cammed ls1 can lay down over 400hp to the wheels (will have to upgrade the fuel system tho), as far as new gears I'd go with 3.73's for the M6 because other wise your 60' is going to suck a** as your just sit the and spin through first. Investing in a hand held tuner would also be a good idea.
And to whoever said to get a CAI (cold air induction), he already has a K&N filter. No need to waste 150 bones on a CAI that might gain him 2-4 hp.
Yeah a buddy of mine has done a few cam swaps on various cars and that is definitely in the works for me after I get some more dough. Rear w/ gear, cam, tune, 17X11 rear wheels and some drag radials and I could be doing pretty damn good down the 1320
If you really want to wrench around with it, get some 10.5:1 compression Bowtie heads with 2.02 intake and 1.84 exhaust valves and get a roller cam and some roller rockers.
I also need to upgrade my intake manifold to either the LS6 ported or an LSx manifold...
I just cant decide if I want to go Forced induction or not in the future. I think big HP N/A car would be awesome but there is something about a 700hp turbo LS1 Camaro that is ringing in the back of my head
2-1-2 is useless. You may as well just run 1 all of the way out. It can only flow as fast as the most restricting part and that would be it. If you can't find an aftermarket X have a shop custom fab one, or just run true dual all of the way out.
