Nice pic's.

Weight diff?

camaroracer1992 · 12-30-2005, 01:45 PM

bmr states 50 with the whole setup as i purchased it, i believe it, the coil springs alone on a stock car weigh alot more then these, and same with the k member and a arms

12secondv6 · 12-30-2005, 01:48 PM

Looks better than my p a racing set up

foff667 · 12-30-2005, 01:49 PM

wow that looks um, red lol i mean good

camaroracer1992 · 12-30-2005, 01:52 PM

the best part of that install was torquing the k member mounting bolts to 150 ftlbs! i was worrying in my head the whole time of snapping a bolt or pulling the threads out of the car!!! i havent put the car down yet to see if i get a pro stock look out of it, i am waiting on my SSBC disc brakes, i got the calipers but awaiting on the rotors

Keep us updated w/ pic's!

camaroracer1992 · 12-30-2005, 01:56 PM

as soon as the brakes get put on i will take shots of that too. i am curently debating putting in all new steering stuff (rod ends, idler arm, etc.) the car only has 48000 original miles on it and its a 92. i dont have any steering slop or play in it so i will most likely hold off on it

12secondv6 · 12-30-2005, 02:12 PM

Well..... how fast will your car be?

Soemtimes precautionary mods are a good idea

camaroracer1992 · 12-30-2005, 02:14 PM

the car now should be abotu 128-130 mph on one stage of nitrous, i plan to run dual stages this year for a 400 shot total, which should put me into deeeeep 10's if not high 9's. i like to be able to stop after making a pass ya know? haha

12secondv6 · 12-30-2005, 02:15 PM

That fast...... yup.... addres braking and steering bits first!

NJSPEEDER · 12-30-2005, 03:44 PM

brakes are overrated. to hell with them. j/k. do you have problems stopping from 120?

camaro2you · 12-30-2005, 08:32 PM

haha glad to hear you like it man. seein them long tubes want me to say **** it and order my **** from summit even sooner hehe.

84HOtransam · 12-30-2005, 09:31 PM

that car is really clean...

how was it just changing out the k-member..i would like do change it but im not sure if it would be easier installing the new one when i swap the motor or later on like you did

camaroracer1992 · 12-30-2005, 10:56 PM

it wasnt bad at all, just jacked the car up abotu a foot and a half, put a jack under the oil pan and also had my engine hoist holding the engine from the front too. it took 3 hours with a sawzall to get out the factory k member since it was hitting the headers! after that the install went pretty smoothly.

as far as the brakes the car stops from the best 125mph speed i had in the 1/4 but you can tell the brakes were struggling a little (as in the car was shaking) haha i know some that still have factory brakes, but for me i would rather have the extra added insurance.
Tim, I am working on the weight issue

thanks for the compliment on the clean car!!

So, how much does your weight, and how much HP's is the motor making alone. just wondering. because with a 400 shot and hp's from motor should be well in the nines; i would say. JR1 & Little Man.

Cory · 01-02-2006, 08:32 PM

Nice pics, 3rds have always been my favorite. Btw, do you clean that thing with a toothbrush, lol, it looks sweet.

camaroracer1992 · 01-02-2006, 09:26 PM

jrs where ya been man??? thought you fell off the face of the earth! welcome back man!! to be honest i dont know the weight or hp.... i know im pathetic

. i plan to launch on a 200, then ramp in the extra 200 for a 400 total, anxious to see the results !

jrsfast84 · 01-08-2006, 10:16 PM

I've been busy refreshing motors, looking to find time to tare my motor apart, but customers come first. Me & Barry with the orange firebird put a 355" making about 450hp, and he's going to plumb it into the intake for 150 to 500hps, car should go low 12's on motor, and on a 250 shot low 10's, i'm quessing that you leave the line on motor for about 30ft. then have all 400hps. come in 1,000 rpms. before your shift point and with good traction go mid to low 9's, plus i was trying to link to your pictures of your new front-end parts and wouldn't open. JR1 & Little Man.

jrsfast84 · 01-08-2006, 10:24 PM

I spoke to soon the pictures opened, have any pictures of your motor up close, new parts look great and very durable, not like mine ALL BENT UP!!!. I'm going to have to buy a new one i guess. JR1 & Little Man.
