Im new to the V8 world
I've mostly owned Japanese vehicles... always wanted to feel the torque from a v8. I used to own a Greddy twin turbo 350z and a GT35 upgraded turbo evo 8. Anyways back to the point, this car current has its bearings shot and crank bent. The previous owner ran it with low oil levels and would rev it to his friends without warming it up. Regardless I got this car for a steal. Here are a list of modds (that I am aware of at the moment):
Here is a list of parts that I have ordered:
The colour of the car? to be honest I like it ... some do some don't ... just wish it wasn't a vinyl to be honest ... I HATE THAT  I hope to run about 900hp daily ... when run with race gas, nitrous and more boost I believe it should hit the 1300 hp range (at motor) The rims and tires are an issue... yes they look nice but grip and braking suckkkkkk .. so in about a month (when im not poor anymore) I will order a set of 17" welds and dot slicks The previous owner stated that he had transmission heating problems after a few pulls... he already has a upgraded trans cooler ... any idea of how I can fix this issue? Any input would be great guys ... im still new to the Camaro world so if you see anything I haven't mentioned or any tips aboutanything I would greatly appreciate it
