My car will be much faster on friday...
 
Hey everybody. Right now my car is in the shop getting all my mods installed. I can't wait to pick it up! My car is a '99 Camaro Z28 A4.

Currently my mods are: Longtube headers, Off road Y-pipe (no cats), Magnaflow catback, and an MTI clear airbox lid. With these mods, my car made 345whp/350wtq.


Here's what's being installed:

- Camshaft (228/228 .588/.588 112LSA)
- LS6 intake
- Ported LS6 cylinder heads
- Built transmission with 3600 stall
- Moser 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears

I should be over 400whp N/A and it will be good for 11's in the quarter mile when I get my sticky tires this spring. I'm so excited! I'll post videos when it's finished.

For now, here's a video of a GTO with the same cam that I'm getting. I'll have the same lope, but my exhaust will sound a bit different since I have a different catback and no cats.

Wow if I didn't mind getting 14 mpg or whatever it is I'd get a GTO. That thing is sick...

Razz1 02-06-2008 09:15 PM

Nice!

I hear ya Big Mike, that 14mpg GTO won't get you as far as your 14mpg RX8! JK:)

Dayum. Nice choice of mods...and music. Slayer crushes. I can't wait to see some 1/4 videos. I miss my old muscle car days sometimes. I used to have a '66 Barracuda in high school. Was so nice to be able to pop the hood, take off the airfilter, loosen the distributor and power tune the car with just a screwdriver. Would like to pick up a '68 or '69 Roadrunner as a project car one of these days. You can't beat that V8 rumble. Congrats on your cars makeover. It's going to feel like a new machine. One word of advice...invest in a big brake kit. It takes some strong brakes to slow down an 11 second car of any weight and an F-body is no lightweight either.

that thing sounds awesome

SlayerRX8 02-08-2008 06:03 PM

Grrr...my shop is slow installing my parts. Looks like I'll get the car back on Monday or Tuesday. :banghead:

YaXMaNGTO 02-08-2008 08:42 PM

That setup should definitely get you into the 11's.
Who's tuning it?

SlayerRX8 02-10-2008 07:45 PM

On LS1tech, his name is BLK02WS6. He has a 9 second car. :)

Scrapin 240 02-11-2008 12:06 PM

I don't, um....what?


Anyway, the delay is not my shop's fault. Comp sent me a defective cam, and they are currently out of stock of the 228/228 cam I ordered. So I had them send my shop a similar cam (228/230). It should make just a hair more power than what I originally intended.

Ross_Dawg 02-11-2008 10:46 PM

WOW that GTO sounds so sick! At first, i was like "Heres another kid revving his stock car, bu then he fired it up and i was like SSHHHIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!"

SlayerRX8 02-13-2008 09:23 PM

Well my car sounds like that now!

We ran a simulated quarter mile at the shop today. Accurate within .1 seconds. The car ran an 11.7. Exactly what I expected. Wooohooo!

How is that cheating? Technically it's not legal, but I still passed emissions.

Bump for cell phone pics. I don't have any videos yet because I don't have a suitable camera. I want to do some soon.

My friend's turbo cobra is in the background of a couple. :)

Looks good, man... very nice for a car that's getting ready to turn 10 years old.
ZR-1 wheels look great on the f-body
