Hesster's 2010 SS "Street Monster" Build Thread

Bought my car a few years ago and was soon bitten with Mod fever as I have done with my other cars in my "Garage and Album". The build is intended to be a really serious street car.

Phase I was SP Ceramic Coated Headers, Borla Cat Back w/o Cats, CAI Air Box, RAM Clutch adjuster and Reservoir, Interior Dress Up, and a tune from PhasTec. These mods REALLY made the car come alive, and sound killer. The Borla Atak is a LOUD system and not for everybody, but this is not a daily driver.

Phase II was a Whipple and a Cam good for 632 RWHP and 565 Ft Lb TQ on the Dyno. Having over 500 Ft Lb of torque from 3000 RPM to the Redline makes for some scary power and now the car is just brutally LOUD! And I thought my other cars were loud. Gotta put on some resonators or something in the exhaust as it sounds wicked, but the neighbors and COPS won't appreciate it.


I have been accumulating a boat load of parts this winter and starting in on the flog even though it is still cold here. Did a whole lot of research to select parts and best prices. At some point, the Mods cost more than I paid for the car - so what, it will be killer when I finish. Garage is heated enough to make it tolerable. Will Document as I go with Pics.

First was the Plasma After Burners. They look great, and I created a thread on how I did the install. Not a easy mod, but worth it.

Next is extensive Suspension Upgrades to handle the power. I went with all BMR stuff, and BC ER Coilovers:



Bought a Quick Jack so I don't get a "Leather Back" from crawling under the Car. Time to tear it all down:


Then after the Suspension Stuff, a whole lotta other stuff. Some of it has to wait until I can throw Paint on the Parts.
