You've got Nitto DRs right?

Yah, some 305's. Around town it's 50/50 -- they hook in 2nd on some roads, and on others even 3rd gets squirrely. Just depends.

Couple vids I just uploaded:





And a couple updated pics:



Top left boost gauage (Defi), below that an AEM Wideband.

The green LED in the pillar comes on when the meth injection is active, the red comes on when the tank is low.

The middle green gauge/box is the Aquamist programmer/controller for the meth, which also shows inj. pulse width, boost and allows you to program the meth based on inj. pulse width and boost. Pretty bad ass setup.



Under hood shot...



Gauges lit up.

OK, Who does your oil change and the cost of it? I have heard some people doing it themselves and others buying the oil and taking it to the dealer to change. let me know what you do

I did my oil change myself. It's really easy if you have access to a lift or an oil pit. The Mobil-1 Oil costs about $7 a quart and you need 8 quarts so figure about $56 or less if you get the 4 quart jugs. You also need a new oil filter. make sure that the oil and filter are to GM specs.

Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic for oil; AC Delco PF48 for the filter.

to change the oil do the following:

1. let engine cool

2. lift car in the air with lift if possible or over an oil pit

3. get something to hold the oil as it drains and place beneath the oil drain bolt with a bias toward the driver side (the oil will drain almost horizontally at first)

4. once the engine is cool loosen and remove the bolt to drain the oil and let drain fully

5. with an oil filter wrench, remove the oil filter slowly (a glove might be helpful as the oil that drains may still be hot)

6. once fully removed and the rest of the oil drains, fill the new filter with new oil and lube the rubber gasket that will seal the filter.

7. without spilling, install the new filter and hand tighten

8. replace the draining bolt also hand tighten

9. lower the car and with a funnel, fill the engine with the new oil. Start with about 6 to 7 quarts

10. check the oil level and add oil as needed. Don't Overfill!

11. replace the oil cap and give yourself a pat on the back for changing your camaro's oil!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys, hoping to see everyone on Sunday. We were up at Evolution Motorsports this morning to dyno the car and I must say I am pleasantly surprised.

Our best number ended up being 700.65rwhp and 667rwtq @ 9lbs of boost. We have an 11lb pulley but I think I'll hold off on that until I get some more miles under my belt with this setup.

Will upload a video of the dyno pull shortly.



And here's the dyno chart...

go to wal-mart mobile 1 is around 25.00 for 5 quarts i bought 2 five quarts and still have 2 quarts left for next change and still came out less than buying individual.

filter is cheaper at ac delco at Montana close to viva Chevrolet
and sometimes o reileys has it even more cheaper. oil filter at other places wanted to sell for 9 to 12 dollars
ac delco 6 dollars
and i saw it once at o reileys for 5 dollars
