Padre's SS: Let the Modding Begin! (pics&vids) [COTW 10/28/13] - Page 27 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thanks guys!

I did make one change: we're going with the Aeromotive Stealth A-1000 (p/n 18673).
http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-pa...o-stealth-kit/

90psi, 600lbs/hr, requires return-style. Should be good for 800rwhp.

Main reason is because it's more elegant, plus, if it fails, it fails completely (vs. the remote possibility one Walbro might fail, letting the motor go lean at WOT).

I'm hoping it will be quieter than the old Aeromotives since this is in-tank.

Padre - You should meet up with us next Saturday at MTI in Marietta if you get a chance. We'd love to meet you.

navyblueSS · 01-21-2012, 08:44 PM

Nice, can't wait to see the results from the D1 Padre.

2SSRSinBama · 01-21-2012, 10:06 PM

awesome build... I ran my time in my sig at Steele as well, though it was in late october and low 40 degree weather on one of their Midnight Madness nights(very little VHT on the track), not the best of weather, lol

I usually hit Steele quite a bit in the Spring, do you usually go on Fridays or Sundays?

Thanks for the invite Diane! If it all looks good and I can tweak my schedule a bit, I'll be there!

I usually go on Sundays, but I did make Midnight Madness a couple of times last year. I'll post up here when I'm heading back to Steele. They should be open in February if the weather cooperates.

The best time in my sig was a Sunday T&T at Steele (Dec. 18), on a great day and it DEAD HOOKED each time on 9/10 runs.

Padre

So which one and where shall I put it?

I'm debadged, so putting it where the CAMARO letters were on the side is an option, plus I've got no lettering on the trunk except for the SS.

Padre

SlowSS · 01-24-2012, 08:49 PM

So Padre are we going to see this thing on Saturday?

Oh and my vote goes for the bottom one and you should put it on the back (drivers side)

Yep.

But I'll have the stock 9" rims on all corners rather than the drag wheels. Don't want to get caught in the rain with DR's. Doh!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

SlowSS · 01-24-2012, 08:53 PM

As of right now it looks like its going to be great weather! Oh and I just edited my first post to vote on which emblem

Padre · 01-25-2012, 10:09 PM

No dyno till Monday. Got some more details to work out, but no problems.

OK here's the Supercharged emblems again:

And here's a decal for the back window, bottom center:
