Thanks for the feedback. Bulletproof sounds good! But so does that BTR Stage 3 cam! I didn't realize 1st gear already has traction issues. Even the base mods you mentioned sound like they'll melt the tires. Are you still running the stock tires?
We really only have about 3 months of > 85. I may be able to work around the heat. My 2 sides of the coin currently look like this. I'm feeling like #1 may be practical at that power level:
1. White modded - http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=475484
2. Black stock - http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=474941 |
The white car is an absolute monster, I hope you know how to drive
2.5 + 9.1 + BTR 3 is a beast of a build. Not necessarily a good daily car at all at that point.
Yeah 1st gear on cold tires when stock can melt the tires, as can 2nd if it's below 70 out, I've even done an elongated chirp on 3rd gear shifts when it's cool outside/tires aren't warmed up. IF it's 85 out and the roads are hot like Forida, then you might be okay in first gear at stock power level. But for sure, at anything past stock, it will easily melt OEM tires. Yes I'm still on Eagle F1s, I plan on selling and getting the new ZL1 or a ZR1 but otherwise I'd switch tires and do the same build as the white ZL1 in your list above.
I think you might be getting a bit over your head for a daily at the white ZL1 to be honest. BTR 3 is an aggressive cam.
