It's supposed to control wheel spin, so you lock up faster.

John,
Okay, if you insist....How about a ride in that Beast you call a Camaro?...

That should just about do the trick....

Kurt ABL99...

You got it Brotha!!

Got some boxes today A little for each whip. The Tahoe along with the Iron Bull front & rear bumpers(In Route to Antidote Performance) got some new lens on all the corners. HID 4300K Halos up front & Smoked LEDs for the rear, along with a 60" LED Red & White (Reverse) Bar, and for both whips the got new custom Black Powder Coated Aluminum Diamond Plate mats. These things are SICK!!! The quality is unbelievable with exposed metal on the raised bars. Here's some more eye candy.


Tahoe Halo HIDs







Tahoe LEDs Tail Lights








Now check out these new mats, Real Diamond Plate Aluminum .050" Thick, Super Strong, yet Super Light-Weight with Glossy lettering. They WILL NOT rip, peel, dent, crack, tear, fade or smell!!!

Here's the Hoe's new mats






And for the ZLX They even have the holes cut out like the stock mats to keep locked in place, these really are SICK! Plus they go perfectly with my Matte/Glossy Black theme










Even for the rears






If anyone would like info on the Diamond Plate mats just shoot me a PM, the maker/owner Dean, is an awesome guy and is considering becoming a forum sponsor.

So obviously I DID NOT get my car back from CMS or I'd be at the Cars & Carne Asada event at Antidote Perfomance. Not because of CMS, but thanks to CMS & Ryne, he caught a couple of things that were done wrong by the dealership when installing the blower (imagine that??) & the shop that did my header install(That doesn't surprise me, considering they F**KED UP Dizzy's install, sorry for recommending them bro). I will say that when notified of the issue from the dealership, I notified SLP and they contact CMS directly and told Ryne to "send them the bill", now that's what I call service!!! To refresh, I bought the 5year/100K warranty from SLP for the Supercharger, so it really is nice to see such immediate reaction by SLP on this, so I did make the right choice. Also because of this, Ryne and Cunningham Motorsports is now a SLP Approved Installer & Repair Center, so anyone in Southern Cali that's interested in adding a Supercharger to your car, and you're worried about where to purchase, install or repair, SLP & CMS make the perfect match!

I WILL have the car back early next week. There was a forum member, SD2011SS at CMS yesterday getting a tune, and he sent me a PM asking if it was ok to snap a few pics, when I replied of course it was fine, I asked could you take a video so I could hear the car with the new cam, but unfortunately he had already left when he got my response, but in his PM he said it sounded SICK!!! Man, I can wait to get her home!!!

SF was -4 and I bought it down to 3....Cha Ching!!! And you know I was already on Ravens, so Cha Ching!!! Had Over in ATL game & Under in NE game so it was a perfect 4-0, went 5-1 in hockey and 6-0 in hoops, it was a good day!! So that just means more mods!!!

Skip shift is a simple bolt on, but you just have to lift the car. To conserve fuel, GM put a feature (more like a hindrance) that when you're going under 20mph in first and go to shift it blocks 2 & 3 rd gear and takes you to fourth. It's a real pain in the ass, and one of the first things I did and for how cheap it is, the one of the best mods done. I like your list, but forget the Predator Handheld and just find a good tuner. You're going to need it, especially if you add Meth. A good tuner is a life saver, and an engine saver and can work miracles pulling out all the power of your engine in the safest way possible. Handhelds are very basic. I even had my Tahoe tuned and it's 440+ RWHP and flys and it has a 6" lift. That's the only thing I can see changing on your list.

Ok! Sweet! I was thinking about the superchips VIVID tuner anyways. and the Aeromotive A1000 Fuel pump. looks like ill be the only one with the MRR Wheels. I noticed those are the EXACT same as the Giovanna Kilis. but dished! God i cant wait!!!!

[pierre777]

To J any updates of your ride?

Don't go with the Aeromotive pump. It's a big pile of shit. Chose a different system like ADM's twin pump system, or even the ZL1 pump WITH the ADM electronics controller along side it.

This will save you many headaches, lol .

Kronix, I can't for you to get your car back homeslice. Good luck. It seems like the guys at CMS are taking care of you, as any good shop would and should.

Bro, just like what Tommy said below about the pump, forget that Aeromotive, too many negative things about them. Go with the ZL1 Fuel pump ($265) & the ADM Fuel Pressure Module (roughly $175) and you're good to beyond the ZL1 rated pump of 650 RWHP. That's the route I went with ID850cc Injectors and there's more than enough fuel throughout the powerband. One thing you don't skimp on is sending fuel to the engine or else you'll be fuel starved at certain RPMs. I checked the HPE 650 package, and it's basically the TVS2300 SC system and then they add bells & whistles. Have you priced it out? Because usually with stuff like that it's overpriced with all the mats, badging, headrest etc...Money that can be spent elsewhere to keep your firmly planted to the ground. So before you pull the trigger understand that it's probably a $20K upgrade if not more, and that has a lot to do with the Henny name, but it's a Maggie TVS SC which can be had for about $6K & change. Forget handheld tuners period, when you go with that power you're looking for and then add Meth, you need a tuner, a hand held will not get the most out of your car. You'll use it for clearing codes, trust me on this. I forget where you located since I can't see it from the reply screen, but I'm sure we can find you a great tuner to establish a good rep with. Kronix Kustomz does is no other way So when you're ready to pulled the trigger, let me know.

It should be done tomorrow (Friday) well actually later today. I spoke with Ryne today as he was driving his new 1LE back from San Fran, and as I told you and a few others on here can attest to, he's a perfectionist and you want that in a tuner/engine builder. It seems my JRE Super tensioner would throw the belt when on the dyno, when it would snap back only on certain situations. There's 2 other cars on the forum with similar mods and also CMS customers, and they're using the stock tensioner, but know I dropped $300+ on the JRE one he was determined to make it work, since he had several discussions with Ted during the time it's been there. He shimmed the pulled out about 2mm and problem solved! Or else I would've just gone 8 rib all around, so that saved me about $800. I can't emphasize enough why it's so critical to have a great tuner. So he's calling me in the morning, and I'll probably make arrangements to pick up Saturday or Monday. Keep in mind, the car had the dealership install the Maggie, Extreme Auto Works in Central Cali, and third shop here in Hermosa Beach do the OD Cog & headers, so I wanted CMS to go over the car piece by piece and correct any mistakes and just get to know the car, because they're are the only shop that will ever touch it again because of their reputation working on LS motors, and I emphasized from Day 1 no rush job please. I guess because it's not my DD, and I wanted to go all out with it, that's helped my patience level, especially after I added up all my receipts and saw I could've bought a new ZR1, not ZL1, but new ZR1 Vette. But it's paid off, because I'm 100% confident in Ryne's work and we've built a great friendship in the last month. The dyno numbers he told he achieved just blew me away, as you can tell I had to change my sig, and I'll post them up when I receive them, plus it's a 100% safe & warranted through SLP which is just huge to me, and CMS has now become an authorized SLP install & repair facility because of my car. When you're at that power level, every little thing makes a huge difference, so it really does pay to have someone that cares as much for my car as I do. But the wait is over & the Beast will be unleashed very soon, and I'll be sure to take videos of quite a few different things.

Couldn't agree more Tommy with your comments on the fuel pump, it's one of the most over looked items on your car and as your HP increases sometimes you forget that you need to upgrade that & injectors, can you do it half-assed or do it right, I always choose the latter. Finding CMS, although I knew of his reputation, and driving the 85 miles to him has been the best choice I've made pertaining to the car, period. And that's why I emphasized with KickAssWelch the importance of a good tuner. Example, the Maggie is supposed to be torqued to a certain number and they found the dealership didn't do it correctly, it's little things like that, that impress me and make my confidence rise knowing I picked the right shop.

I knew you'd dig the mats Leo, since you have something similar.The craftsmanship on these mats it simply top notch, Dean the owner is another perfectionist & very creative person, and he's actually looking into becoming a forum sponsor. So anybody who wants some kick ass, unique mats, Dean's your man! Aside from the skins for the seats, and I was playing on Katzakin's site last night, I believe I'm done, aside from a few Showstopper pieces I have waiting to be installed by me .

Frid, thanks so much for the compliments! I tried to do it right the first time,as to not backtrack. That's why I emphasized with Pierre about doing his suspension at once, money permitting. Dropping suspension parts to add aftermarket parts, gives you access to other items you'll need or want to add in the future, so it just makes sense to do it.

It's always been my main goal in building a Camaro that stands out from the crowd, and I think that's been accomplished and I dedicated this car to my best friend of 35 years, Timmy Mitchell who passed away in his sleep on 7/26/12 at 45 years of age from High Blood Pressure & Coronary Artery Disease. Growing up I had my Chevy Z28, Iroc & Vette & he had a Screaming Eagle Trans Am, a sweet older Barracuda, and a Pontiac GTA. So we've always been car nuts & speed freaks, and I have a small urn with some of his remains that will always ride with me. I've learned that losing someone that close is extremely difficult, but he taught me to live everyday with a smile & that life is short so enjoy it. He'll always be my co-pilot

So on that note, I should have my car back and I intend to use my GoPro camera and do some nice videos, along with videos of the new cam & engine walk a bouts. The only thing I can see in the horizon is a local paint/customization shop has offered me a sponsorship as I'd like to get a custom paint job, so I have to bring the car over to them when I have it back, as well as contact the editor of 2 well know magazines about running a feature on the car, we'll see if they're serious. Thanks for all the support and motivation to keep making it the best, it's a tough crowd here and it's kept me on my toes, thanks again!!

And in case you forgot what SSYNSTR looked like, I'll leave you with these....
