^^^ Nice, but yea the gun metal would have looked cooler. I had them in the polished/cleared finish.

Are those the AR crossfires in chrome? Dang those look good and I am not big on chrome. With your paint color they do look good in the sun.

Hoping to get my gunmetal on soon after I get the car back. I figure it won't be too long before I want more power.lol

The more and more I look at my cam specs it is basically a VVT GT11 Lingenfelter, very similar. All dynos are different but I am sure the numbers won't do the power curve and 3.73s installed justice.

Next step will be doing a few suspension mods and then probably g force axles before I go for power adder.
It will either be a torquestorm or lsa conversion. Both will make 550+rwhp so if I go that route I will be done after that but I am just so glad I got those AFM lifters out of there before they did some damage.
Buddy works at a chevy dealer and he says the L99 isn't as bad as some of the early silverados in the 2000s with afm. Alot of those trucks have eaten an AFM lifter by now.

"I will be done after that" I don't think that is possible lol! Nice build.

Hey there, nah, they are the MRR M228 Z28/ replicas in the polished finish from MRR Designs. Avendor on the forum. 20x10 front and 20x11 rears. Yep, sometimes those AFM lifters can be a problem in some vehicles. We tuned mine out at 19k when we did the headers and dyno tune and off road mids. Never had an issue with them, and I drove her hard, hit therev limiter many times. Guess I was just lucky. Then we did the cam swap at 98k with ALL the goodies and replaced them with the performance lifters. The rest is history. The car is a monster!! Especially with the 4500 stall!!

Have you picked up the car yet?

ss camaro-monte · 04-15-2023, 03:51 PM

Nope, they have been crazy busy, and then they are getting ready for fbody fest so they have sooooooo many cars they are tuning and trying to get ready for it.

Car was all assembled almost 2 weeks ago. The tuner/dyno is very back logged.lol
Plus, I have to be honest. I told them I was in no hurry and to make sure they take it out and do the FULL road check with shifting and all. Told them to drive it around a few days and make sure they are all satisfied with it.lol

I talked to them Friday and it looks like late next week or the week after.

Awesome & they are always super busy it seems like lol. I was there on 3/21 and they had several being finished up for the F-body fest. Ben will get you all fixed up tune wise.

ss camaro-monte · 04-20-2023, 11:52 AM

445-450rwhp is what they are telling me on e85 pulls.lol

Nice! That will be a very good sleeper!

ss camaro-monte · 04-21-2023, 04:32 PM

Sad thing is I can't get up to Jacksonville until first week in May due to work. 2 more weeks I have to wait to drive her.lol
I just have to remember to watch my speed on the way back home to Houston. Lol

ss camaro-monte · 04-21-2023, 04:35 PM

I will post dyno video later. It's hard to see at the very top of pull but the last number I see is 438 it looks like before they let out. I don't think that was the final pull either. Hence the 445-450 number I was told. That also might have been a 93 pull.

Here it is. I don't have an idle video on it yet but I am sure it is pretty tame. Probably just a little louder than stock.

1JEWLDSSRS · 04-23-2023, 11:20 AM

Awesome my friend!! You're gonna love driving that Camaro!!

Ashen 6.2 · 04-24-2023, 05:14 AM
