I can only echo what SlowLS1 stated, come back bigger & better. That really sucks.

I had a 2014 V6 Camaro that had a ton of SLP parts on the car. Now in a 6th gen ZL1. However. I’m looking to get another 5th gen and looking to put SLP parts on the car they are now discontinued and i’m now stuck looking for one specific part the SLP hood scoop for SS1LE hoods (heat extractor is what they called it lol)
Does anyone have one and willing to sell PLEASE. I live in Cali but will pay for part and shipping for this item.
Thank you guys!!

This is definitely the wrong place to post a WTB ad. I would try the classifieds section. Good luck finding an SLP hood insert if you aren't a bot. Definitely going to be tough, but i have seen them floating around from time to time.

How do you report it? I've never done it before.

Man that just stinks Joe. But like others said, time for bigger & better!

So I had to cancel my order for the Mahle pistons that I ordered through summit because the said they wouldn't even ship until April. So now I'm faced with this dilemma, do I go with the summit ls forged pistons
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-2999274080-2
and raise my compression to a little over 11.5 or should I go back with the dss racing pistons https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dms-k2-2820-4075 and keep my compression to around 11.1?

acutron42 · 01-19-2024, 03:22 PM

Do you think you will need to go 4.080 or is it worth the time to see if it will clean up @ 4.075 & give you more options.

The original builder said he recommends 4.080. And DSS and Summitt both make them so I'll probably go ahead and with 4.080. I talked to DSS and they told me that to make over then standard sizse they just charge $80 so not too bad.

Keep us posted & I wish you the best. Those pics are hard to look at for me & I can't fathom how you feel.

Decisions... but I think more compression would be better = morepowerjoe!

see what I did there... ;-)
