So I always wanted an f-body car but never found "the one" until MDW 2015. 2 miles from my house 1 owner pewter 2001 Camaro SS 56k miles 6mt bone stock. scooped it up for 6,300 bucks
The Day I brought it home
then got it tinted and detailed:
then the bolt-on fun began :
threw in 4.10 gears (knowing that the rear would blow eventually at the track)
-1-7/8 TSP Long Tube Headers
-TSP 3" Catless Y-pipe
-SLP Loudmouth 1
-SLP lid
-Blackwing air filter
-SLP Smooth Bellow
-SSRA Ram Air
-Factory PS cooler delete and installed a new PS cooler
-Poly motor Mounts
-Poly Trans Mounts
-SLP Line Lock
-Raptor Mini LED shift light
-Moser (Spohn) 9" rear with 35 spline axles and spool, 4.30 gears, LCA relocation brackets
-Spohn Tubular Lower Control Arms
-Pro 5.0 Short throw shifter w/ WS6 store short stick / Hurst knob
-Kenwood Double din HU
-Kee Audio Stage 2 speakers
Cosmetic wise:
-8k Low beam HID
-3k Fog HID
-20% tint all around
at the track I run a 255/50/16 MT ET street on a 16" z28 rim
After the bolt ons (minus the rear end)
Sent the car down to Dave@EFXtuning where he managed to put down 349WHP/359WTQ with the car.
My best time with the car so far is 12.1 before my rear started acting up
This spring/summer hoping to do a cam only package speced out by Dave@EFX
So needless to say this car came out great thus far...
the only change I am making right now is going from SLP LM1 to Magnaflow cat back.
Once again I need to thank my boy Joe at Rago Auto Care and Dave@EFX for all the help
Nice progress. What kind of 60' are you cutting and what's the mph in the 1/4?
1.74 60' and 112-113 trap... this was in not such great air though.
With the Line lock setup now, the 9" and 2 step I hope to leave higher and hook better and cut it down to below 1.7 and hoping to break 12 before I do any cam work.
I also had no short shifter when I was racing those long throws prob cost me some time and my 12.1 pass my master cylinder was going bad so I was loosing my clutch plus the rear was starting to blow up...
So last weekend I thru the magnaflow on , put the sway bar back on , tommorow hopefully throwing on some pads/rotors and connecting my line lock and then hitting e-town 3/6 for test n tune
rest of the pics wont load will post later but long story short did the clutch and everything today then of course I have problems with the new BMR torque arm I bought. so the car is sitting right now but hope to button it up the end of the week
Hey man, I'd check out MYfirstZ post in the classified, he's looking to sell his short arm torque or trade for a trans mount. If your gonna race your car the short arm is the way to go. Just a heads up tho, everyone has there own plan.

this winter I want to get a nice wheel setup. Spring I want to get the paint all touched up (provided I haven't bought other **** which requires the garage) and the car will be a done deal.
