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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-6r4cYkPu4 |
nice dude thats sick
|
Wow if I didn't mind getting 14 mpg or whatever it is I'd get a GTO. That thing is sick...
|
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
|
Grrr...my shop is slow installing my parts. Looks like I'll get the car back on Monday or Tuesday. :banghead:

That setup should definitely get you into the 11's.
Who's tuning it? |
On LS1tech, his name is BLK02WS6. He has a 9 second car. :)

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. |
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!!!"
|
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! |

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. :) https://img301.imageshack.us/img301/845/sunoco1iz7.png https://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5366/sunoco3uw0.png https://img301.imageshack.us/img301/253/sunoco2hy0.png https://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7624/sunoco4ux4.png http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7590/zr1sidekq9.png |
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 |
