Got my ported throttle body installed today! Feels a lot better on take-off and feels so much smoother through the entire RPM range.

When I took the intake hose off though, I noticed some nasty oil collecting in there. :(

Guess that catch can isn't being as efficient as it could be.

The catch can only catches on the dirty side. The oil in the intake tube is from the clean side. I would have to either add a can on the clean side or put in a breather.

Selling for $32,000 is the same as trading for $29,700! If they are giving you that to begin with, why dick with trying to sell it?

Keep that in mind! What ya looking at?
I'm not trying that hard, so I anticipate trading it in... haha.

I'm going to pick up a ZL-1 unless I get impressed enough with the price and stats of the 2013 vette, which I think more legitimate information should be available about the same time as the ZL-1. Dealership said I should be able to order the ZL-1 as of jan 1!

2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)

Where was the white Camaro? I haven't seen any other Camaros in Harrison.
Up by the 74W ramp by the main drag. It was in the far right lane so could have been getting on... I was going down toward the Walgreens, Drive Thru, etc. I get my hair cut at a little salon called Chadwick's, right by the drivethru. I don't know the street name but you might know where I'm talking about.

Maybe he was a visitor like me. Once I get off the main strip there, I'm kinda lost... though I think I know where you work because one of my exes lives/works in Harrison. I've probably been by there.

Ick! Makes me think I better get a catch can sooner than I anticipated. Or just keep an eye on my intake setup. Have read about a few v6ers having this issue!!

Win!

What's up everyone!

So I won my first ever race this weekend. I won 1st in my class. I also beat a Pontiac v6. Exciting stuff. Pics to come soon.

In other news: Got my spoiler, exhaust, and blacked out everything. Still waiting on my tips to come in the mail!

Congrats! I guess you've figured out how to drive the manual.

Now you need to take your students on a field trip on Oct 5 and join us at Mid-Ohio.
