Okay. Well I've spoken to him over on the NASA forums (National Auto Sport Assosiation) because I was going to track my camaro as well, and he's helping me do that. (not as full blown as he is doing, but still). Anyways, He has a Ron Davis Radiator in it, which they use in NASCAR etc, which was special designed for the camaro as a OMGWTFBBQ bolt in super duper race specc'd (Yes, I said BOLT in) cooling machine. Which, on a side note, you can order from Carrige House Customs He also has PFADT Comopetition sway bars, Engine Mounts, Coilovers, and control arm/cradle brushings. He gutted the enterior, including sanding the entire frame with 80 grit sand paper to remove about twenty pounds. He also added a roll cage. He took this thing on the diet the other thread was complaining about. He trimmed out the unneccesary pieces of the doors with a plasma cutter, and even took out bolts and fixtures that weren't structerally needed. He also has new wheels, (obviously from the pics), and new Toyo Proxes RA1 tires, at least I assume because that is the standard.
GUESSING FROM HERE ON OUT HOWEVER the above is true
The reason they kept the stock shifter and stock drivetrain however, is, this is a guess, so dont quote me, is that the Camaro might be a touring class 2 car, so, he can compete in the AI (American Ion) races with the V8 LS3, but kept it stock so he could keep the points down that come from modifying certain components on the car. Might be stock, Might not be, Again. I have no idea.


Hope this helps?

Good luck Carriage house and pfadt!!

Again, we appreciate your excellent work, Dragoneye. You can't believe how many compliments I got on my car this weekend out at nationals. Trust me, this car looks better in person than any picture will show......and I also owe you a ride.

Looks like a 5yr old designed it.

I am Brian (the car owner) and basically the reason we have kept the stock shifter is, we don't see a need to change it at this time. When I ran the car on the track the weekend before we tore it apart, I had no issues with the shifting.........other than the excessive movement of the tranny/engine. Pfadt has addressed that with new engine and tranny mounts so I am hoping that will be enough. If we feel a need to improve the shifting further through testing, we will do that. American Iron has no limits on what we can do relating to shifters, we will just wait and see.

Also as a side note. Met Aaron Pfadt and crew for the first time this weekend, they are a top notch group of guys, I cannot stress that enough. Anyone looking to upgrade their camaro with "GO" rather than show, I can not imagine asking for better or more professional group of people.

I like that theory too. If its not broken there's no need to fix it . Anyways, good luck Brian and I hope they do come out with tranny mounts That would be great. And they seem like a great group of guys too

Next time read the thread.

You should spend more time thinking about what you type before you type it...

In other words, Stop posting like 5 year old. If you get my meaning.

I would actually murder a small child to see some performance stats on this thing.

And Dragon, I think it looks great
