Admiral Blue Build: Procharged 427
Hello, My name is Nate and this is my slow going build of my 2010 2SS/RS IBM. Nothing outrageous will happen here, don't really have the money to go bonkers on this. But it will still be fun and plus its getting to the point I need help keeping track of every thing Iv done and I figured many of you would like to see it.
Ill try to keep this as updated as possible and add pictures of the mods and perhaps some installation pictures. Specifically when I do my cam/UD Pulley install. Also I will be posting up track times from last year and once the track opens up Ill also post my progress. edit: So that was all a LIE ^^^^^ Current Mods ZL1 Grille Painted Rims Charcoal Grey Drive Shaft Loop Removed Stripes Drilled & Slotted Rotors Hurst Short Throw w/ T-Handle K&N CAI Borla S-type Catback Pacesetter Headers Tune by Justune (MC Racing) Parts not installed 25% UD Pulley Seperate clutch resevoir PFADT Trailing Arms and Toe Rods 20x9 Stock rims for front Ordering Soon LR Night Fury Cam Melling High Volume Oil Pump C5R Timing Chain Last edited by Neumatic; 01-16-2021 at 06:31 AM. |

Middle of Installing the long tube headers. Fellow member Clinc preparing my car for the dyno. Dyno sheet after tuning 440RWHP/437 RWTQ Dyno was on the happy side I think, but either way my tuner did a great job. It was like night and day after the tune. Seen a big improvement on the 1/4 mile as well. Ran a PB of 12.71 @ 113 w/ a shotty 2.107 60'. Trapped between 113-115 all weekend long. |

First meet and greet with some of the forums KC Camaro drivers. Clinton Lake, KS. As I was late for my farewell get together with the guys from KC. I still made it in time for food though. |

I had surgery and had to park my car for about a week and when I was cleaning my car after recovering I discovered this mess. They chewed on the wires for my MAF sensor, but luckily didn't destroy them. Wrapped them up with electrical tape and called it good. Never found the damn things, but I set about 6 traps in the garage alone.

Did you have to buy separate O2 sensor extensions for the pacesetter header install? From your one picture it looks like you have exactly what I just bought. Sorry about the rodents, at least there was no permeant damage.

Ok, I do have a few questions then. Where did you finally get the extensions from? Did the black paint burn completely of after running them or did you get the coated ones? And how is the heat in the engine bay from running the headers? I'm thinking about wrapping the headers but I want to run them first to heat them up. I like the numbers you were getting! Any tips or advice for the install?

Yes the black paint burns off, I didn't coat them or anything. Figured if they rust ill actually buy a good set as I got these for dirt cheap anyways. The heat isn't too bad, not much of a difference that I could tell. I could be wrong though, I didn't really pay too much attention before the headers. Some general tips, make sure you don't break the O2 sensors when you take them off the manifolds. Mine came right out but Iv read on here of people breaking them. Buy a GM manifold gasket, the one that comes with it is junk. I have heard of people reusing theirs but I didn't go that route. If you have access to a lift it would make it a lot easier. If not atleast tall jackstands, the more room the easier it will be. And this sounds obvious but don't drive your car before the install if you can help it. Installed some for another member and he drove to my house. Burnt myself a few times doing his, those exhaust ports are hot and stay hot for a while lol. |
