well everything should be here tomorrow and i can not wait!. i downloaded and printed the instructions to the LPE dual fuel pump install while at work to preread what needed to be done haha. so today i went out and removed the fuel tank to make it ready for lpe installl. I also removed the front bumper again, to allow install of the rad for the blower. i cancel my OT at work tomorrow so i can be home when it gets here and will start install asap! now my only thoughts are on the clutch. i have stock right now, and will only be at the track once this year maybe 5 runs, only got 3 in last time. and then again when i head to cfest. wonder if it will hold up or not. maybe ill jst do the camarocross at cfest.

oh and PS if your ever removing the fuel tank... just drop the rear subframe, waaay easier with it out. i had a hard enough time with just my diff out, no idea how i would have disconnect the evap vent lines with the diff in.

i will keep you all updated on this

Might be a good idea to go to Cfest with the stock clutch and see what the vendors there have and what other C5 guys have been happy with and make your choice from there. Sound like its gonna be a fun project. Looking forward to the updates...

Have you been doing all this work yourself Caswell? With all that you've done, the car must feel like a different beast already! LOL

You get that Supercharger on there...and hang on!

Caswell239 · 02-19-2013, 06:33 PM

yes i do all the work myself, last year before i parked it all it had was a pfadt stage 3 suspension, cold air intake, a few comesmetic mods, Grill, sidemarkers, tint. but its been parked since the exhaust and cam and everything else has been done. so it will go from stock to 650rwhp haha over one winter. its in a sad state right now, diff out, rear seats and side panes out, fuel tank, wheels, exhaust driveshaft all on the floor beside it. but it will come together starting tomorrow.

im a heavy duty mechanic by trade so this is the stuff i enjoy doing

dragon22 · 02-19-2013, 06:54 PM

Nice! I am an automotive mechanic by trade, but don't actually work in the trade anymore. If I only had the money for all these mods! LOL LOL

I would be in MY glory then! Can't wait to see that beast when you get her done!

Where are you getting it tuned, or will it need one?

Caswell239 · 02-19-2013, 08:28 PM

im getting a remote tune from ted jannetty, and all my mods are funded by the alberta oilsands

haha

Robd · 02-19-2013, 08:44 PM

Take lots of pics ill be watching

Robd · 02-19-2013, 08:46 PM

How many psi of boost you looking to run to get 650 rwhp?

Caswell239 · 02-19-2013, 09:10 PM

Here's the thread, http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=236622
Identical to my mod list except ill run 91 octane, Ted says on 81 we will be around 650, in that dyno run he was about 9psi till the very end it spiked up.

Couple pics all tore up :(

Many mods have been funded by the oilsands!!

LS7 427 · 02-19-2013, 10:40 PM

You'll make good power with those mods but be careful of putting to much faith in a dyno done at 270 ft altitude in Waterbury compared to 3600 ft in Calgary. I'm giving up about 76 hp comparatively.

Here's a tool, it assumes a lot but gives a reasonable result. Elevation is the shits for us inlanders...haha. Would really suck to live in Denver.

hp loss = elevation x 0.03 x hp @ sea level
1000

Caswell239 · 02-19-2013, 10:51 PM

Well it will only e in fort Mac for this summer then be back on Vancouver island for good come August.
That equation doesn't work...
Google it and found it. It's then divided by 1000. I'm only at 1200ft in fort Mac so if I used 650 as hp at sea level if lose 23 hp

Is there a track on the island or would Mission be the closest. I'd really like to get to Mission, pretty sure I could run a 9.xx out there.

You'll love the supercharger if you've never had one before, they make crazy power in these cars. The first time you get on the throttle is unreal.
