Okay have done a little bit since updating the thread. I'm waiting on the air flow table from will since the car does not like the bigger TB and idles and drives unreliably. However with the smaller TB (72mm) going to the 80mm Manifold, the car pulls like crazy.

I've also added the blow through MAF pipe that has a built in air straightener that allows for better MAF readings and more accurate tuning. This meant me taking the MAF out of the intake pipe pre-SC and putting it before the TB. Had to get a plug for where I wouldn't need the bypass valve and block off plate where the MAF Sensor went. And what better time than to add a 50mm BOV. Which also means me taking off the hose from the TB to lower intercooler hose/joiner and adding custom hoses that would make my new set up work.

I've also rerouted my catch can to where I believe it's the Evan canister bracket is, in front of the water pump pulley. Adding the BOV meant me plugging off the old location where the by pass valve went and making a tee off the intake manifold hose to provide vacuum. I used 1/4" hose from the boost sensor to the bov fitting itself and in the middle is a tee where it goes off the manifold 3/8" hose. Will provide pics later today.

With the TB air flow table from Will @ overkill and Ivan's tuning, My car runs right with the larger TB now. No more erratic driveability and rough idling. Needs some tweaks with the tune but overall it runs great! Need to get a Boost leak tester to make sure they're are no leaks.

After almost getting hit head on by a uber driver texting (in my DD Acura) I decided to get a dash cam. Didn't buy the most expensive one but it'll do what I need it to do. Also got a mount to attach it to the rear view mirror stalk. Not cool with suction cup mounts and the mark I'll have to clean when taken off.

Need to better update my thread but until then, here are a couple new additions. Got the faceplate new on eBay for 300$. Doing the retrofit from ofer so I'm pretty excited.

Also big thanks to Tlavoie87, as he gave me a 3.4 pulley. Super excited to see how much power it adds. May put off installing to dyno how much power I have currently. Then install the smaller pulley.

Thanks John!

I did a few times when I first got the kit (~2013) but didn't retain the slips. My best time was a 12.9 and averaged 13.3-13.4's. With the new mods now and a better driver I would see better times.

I have the same Camaro - same 2010 Transformer. Love every inch. Just stock for now. Wish I could mod it but I'm not a mechanic. Do you have the smelly air issue that I saw your post about? I'm getting it now and need to fix it. Let me know..... Thx, Jon

cool to see a fellow 2010 TF ED. Im not a mechanic but learned so much from here and other places. I wasn't sure how to install a CAI but have since installed the Supercharger, driveshaft etc.

What smelly air issue are you referring to?

Edit:I dont have any bad smell. I would see if yours has the TSB for the AC and also check your cabin filter.

Digging this thread back up. looking into possibly selling the car and parting out some of the mods. If there is anything of interest, send me a PM.
