Talk about customer service and going the extra mile! I asked him if he could take a couple of more shots in the natural lighting with something black on it. This way I could get an idea of how the black rail and injector connectors would contrast.......After seeing these pictures, I told him to just send it on home.





By the way, he's offering special pricing for Camaro5 members on the intake and clam shell. I'll post them when I get them.

Who did the paint? I would love to get this done!

Gotcha, Craig at Extreme Innovations and Fabrication made it for us. You loss 37 lbs. Our is a little lighter since we shorten the frame rails.We are now doing a rear tubular cradle. Should drop another 50 plus lbs.

You can get more details on our build thread:

Awesome thanks. I'm putting a blower on soon and trying to think of ways to make up for the extra weight

Your car is going to be AWESOME with the new blower! The cradle would be a great place to start. You can also get rid of additional weight by using our same front crash bar. H & M Racing and design made it for us.

kjkjr27 posted a group buy thread. If you want one, I can probably get the Kevin to make you one at the group buy discount. Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Here the link to the thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=334636

All I can say is "AWESOME". I think GM really let Camero owners down by not paying any attention to the engine compartment. Sorta like seeing a beautiful woman only to have her open her mouth and no teeth. If your a woman just change the gender, not meant to be offensive to anyone.

Did he connect thr postive cable to the brake cable

Hey Gisbert, you "DO NOT" want to use the brake line bracket to connect any cable! Unless of coarse if you want to file an insurance claim because your car was engulfed in flames!!! It will heat the your brake lines to the point of no return.

I made the mistake of assuming the brake bracket would be OK and if it wasn't for Seth that ran in the house to tell me the car was smoking, this project would have been dead a long time ago.



Make sure you do them like EZ did his in this picture.






You can see in my picture were I used the brake line brake bracket because I figured it would save me from drilling a hole in the frame. Obviously I have gotten over that concerned, LOL. In fact it looks like we are going to be notching the frame rail for the drive sump tank!

[gisbert.j.hanft]

So what wire is the postive attached to and where is that cable bolt to

[PAUL SS]

That was the positive cable connection point that was mounted on the drivers side strut tower. That bracket was removed and the cable rerouted inside the wheelhouse.
