Just want to give a BIG thanks to Tim at TandT Performance for taking care of my camaro over the week and Ed Hutchings for a great tune. Car ran smooth all the way back home. Tim also installed the vertical door kit, it looks good and functions great. Once the car is cleaned up from the road grime, I will post some pix.

Saw yours up on the lift the other day and asked Tim what the liscence plate stood for. He said "masterbee" which quickly digressed to masterbate and left us with a good laugh. Glad it all worked out and he got your car outta there so he has room to work on mine!

For any one that is wondering the plate reads MNSTRBE if I wanted it to read MASTRB8 I would have put it on there. Being its a M6 I would need a third hand to make that plate true. Glad I could provide a good laugh for you guys. Were you getting the coil overs?

Haha a third hand would never be a bad things. I got my coilovers last summer. I dropped mine off to see what Tim could do with my rideskinz bumper and a few smaller things

Nowhere should be more than 2k for kit and install. Call up Tim and I'm sure he can give you a solid deal.

I am glad your fuel mileage was 21 to 22 mpg after all the work we done and hp gains let me know when you plan on bring the sub up for the ls3 swap we should have cam and lifters in by the end of the week to start putting engine together

Took the camaro out of a long drive from Flint Hill, VA (22627) to the eastern shore, a roughly 255mi drive. I averaged 24mpg. I shifted a between 2000-2200 rpms. I ran with cruise control on for parts and other parts I couldn't. This is mostly highway driving with a small amount of city. There were a few pockets of construction that slowed me down. I tried to stay at 75 for most of the time. Once over on the shore were the speed limit stays at 55 I tried to stay at 65. On the way back heavier traffic, same day so same temps roughly, I averaged 23mpg and had slightly more in city travel along with more heavy footed driving as I ran into a crowd of challengers at an ice cream parlor and a car of teenagers wanting me to show the car off. Once I can in the dyno I will add it to the thread. Talking 498RWHP 468RWTQ still making 24mpg!!!

BIG Thanks Tim at T&T Performance the great install and help on parts and Ed Hutchings for the excellent tune.

Way to go smkeeling! Great post! No one ever believes the mpg we get with these beasts! I routinely achieve over 24 mpg under similar circumstances....but hard to convince anyone!!

Nice build what are the cam specs?

smkeeling · 03-03-2013, 01:53 PM

Updated my signature with all upgrades to the engine. The cam specs are in the car, next time I go out I will try to remember to get them.

Looks awesome! I want Vert doors. But then again, there are a lot of things I still want to add
