2014 ZL1 the push for 800 [COTW 6/16/14]
Well, wanted to start an build journal early and update along the way. Enjoy!
Background: Grew up in northern california, had the opportunity to grow up with a 1970 chevelle ss, which I first learned to drive a 4 speed on. Dad and I took out the 396 and had Badass Racing build a monster 454. I currently attend Arizona State University, and this past January my parents decided to move to Austin, Texas. Since high school always wanted to do a ground up classic with my dad but he insisted on modern technology and performance. Test drove the ZL1 a few days after helping move in Austin. Instantly knew that would be a project car both of us could enjoy. Picked up in February and couldn't be happier. 2014 Crystal Red Tintcoat Camaro ZL1 I head back to Texas this saturday and the mods will begin!! Current Mods Complete Roto Fab CAI Apex Catch Can Black Gorilla Lugs Interior footwell RGB LEDs Hydrodipped engine bay Hydrodipped emblems and bowties 30% window tint Future Plans for The Push for 800: Exterior: RGB Halos CF splitter, diffuser, spoiler Tail Light Tint Ghosted Side Markers Mild to Wild Switch Performance courtesy of 510 Racing 800 hp Flamethrower package Custom Cam Motion Grind Cam 222/242 115lsa + 3* LXL Lobes Dual Polished .660" Valve Spring Kit w/ Titanium Retainers 7.425 Hardened Chromoly Pushrods GM 3 Bolt Cam Sproket FIC 80lbs Injectors Front Timing Gasket Kit Dual in Tank direct replacement Fuel Pump Kit (800 HP) GM MLS LS9 Head Gaskets ARP Cam Bolts ARP 12 Point Cylinder Head Studs GM Supercharger Discharge to Intercooler Gasket GM Dexcool Coolant GM Water Cross Over Seals ARH Long Tube Headers (Bolts Directly to Factor Mid Pipe) Royal Purple Water Wetter S/C Coolant 50mm Idler Pulley 8 Rip Serpentine Belt Pro Series ZL1 Heat Exchanger Intercooler ZL1 2.55 Upper S/C Pulley 100mm Double Bearing Idler Pulley for Smaller S/C pulley Solid SuperCharger Isolator Interior: Hydrodipped interior parts Some pics to start!

Go for it! Looks great so far. Did you not take the nose off to install the new bowtie?

Hydro Dipping
Taking some pieces to get hydrodipped. Also taking the bow ties front and back decided the vinyl didn't look as good as it would with CRT carbon fiber.

Crystal Red Tintcoat is so badass
When I was afraid my order was not going to be placed (long story) there was a CRT on the lot with the options I wanted. I was ready to go that way.

Fuse Pull
Did the fuse pull last night #5 and #20. Will drive the car for comparison when the weather gets better.
Engine bay parts will be back from L&S hydrographics monday. Took a tour of the shop and it looked great, explained the process. Excited to see the end results.

Really, really wanted a Black SS with the gray interior. It's a hat tip to the classic Buick Grand Nationals; watching "Black Air" really got my car juices flowing again after being off for so long.
