I appreciate it! That is the ZL1 Conversion. I have a ton of information to update in this thread, we've been buried in the shop.

The JDP Motorsports J-Spec Camaro at the Camaro5 Fest 3 Autocross. We only got 4 runs and the finals were rained out but the car was working great! We ended up with a 34.8 second run and I had a great time! Here is a quick video of one of my runs. We would have been in the top 3 during the official final round but the important thing was interacting and having fun with everyone!!!



Thank you to all of our supports including but not limited to Airaid, VMAX, Comp Cams, F.A.S.T., Elite Engineering, KOOKS, Magnaflow, Forgeline, Pfadt, Toyo Tires, Spohn, CSF Radiators, Driveshaft Shop, Hawk and Katech.

We had a great time meeting customers and interacting with fellow Camaro enthusiast. Thank you to Pedders for putting on the event and all of the volunteers that made it possible!! We're looking forward to next year!

Kind regards,

Jordan Priestley

We finally got the Camaro back together with the new axles from the Driveshaft Shop and a few other goodies including the Pfadt ZL Spec Sways. Our Camaro is currently running the Pfadt Gen II Coilovers, ZL Spec Sways, Pfadt Sub-Frame Mounts, Pfadt Front Radius Bearings, Pfadt Rear Upper C-Arm Bushings and Spohn Trailing Arms/Toe-Links suspension wise. The car is rolling on 20x10 F 20x11 R Forgeline wheels with Toyo R888's as well.



The car was VERY balanced and comfortable to drive. It had some understeer before as well as some roll and that is gone now! The car stayed flat and predictable in every situation I put it through. I've been fighting axle issues for the last year now and we finally got that sorted out and I was able to push the car to 10/10th; it was so awesome!!





The conclusion from me is that these sways completely changed the car. Because of the updated rear sway design it allowed Pfadt the ability to greatly increase the roll stiffness up front as well as in the rear which made for a very well balanced package. I did go into Release a little hot trying to pass and had some fun drifting the Camaro however!



We ended up taking home 1st Place in our class Limited RWD at the Lap Battle Time Attack event at Miller Motorsports Park this weekend. We got a pretty awesome trophy!



I'm always happy to answer questions so don't hesitate to call me anytime!!!

Kind regards,

Jordan Priestley

Very cool, love the car. Was there a big difference going from the "old" Pfadt sways to the new ones?

Thank you! The car was completely different from the Pfadt Race Sways to the ZL Spec Sways... I was very impressed with the balance and roll stiffness. I'm also running Pfadt's proto Gen 2 coilovers and they are also amazing.

Kind regards,
