We got married this weekend. Being a car couple, we had to get a few shots with our cars. Here is one. More to come. This was taken with a uv camera.

Congratulations to both of you and the best going forward. Did you get married on Mars?

[QmaroSS]

Congratulations! That is a very cool picture.

My buddy who owns a performance shop downstate came up to visit for a weekend and I decided to send him back with my camaro to complete my pulley swap, suspension work, some new valve covers, coil relocation, and upgraded fuel system. Can't wait to see the final product and get my car back.




update so far with the new valve cover and relocated coils.

Nice bud!!

What fuel system upgrade are you doing? ADM FPCM with a ZL1 pump? Larger injectors? Suspension, new trailing arms, subframe bushings, etc. ? I'm down one pulley size running 7.9psi on my SLP TVS2300. What pulley size, boost are you looking for? Good luck.

Whoa, TRC you are at 690rwhp now? Loving my SLP coil covers after I saw them on yours. SoChrisB, it will be interesting to see your new et's.

Thank you to both of you. I appreciate the kind words.

The plan is 2 pulley sizes down. It's actually TRC-SS's old 3.4" pulley. I'm doing the ZL1 fuel pump and ADM FPCM. As far as suspension, I already have the trailing arms, toe-rods and sub frame bushings. I'll be adding control arms, complete rear bushing kit and differential, as well. I forgot to add I'm also doing new gears.

I can't wait for the new ETs either. I loved the coil covers. They really make the engine bay pop. I just went away from them because they hurt me at the track with high intake temps.

[SS PANTHER]

Nice. Are you going with 3.45's? I run 3.70's. I guess your looking at 10psi on 93. Interesting on the IAT's with the coil covers. Never thought of that.

Looks great!!!

Yea unfortunately my motor went boom....so its now fully forged with a large cam 2.8 pulley on torco race fuel.

I was 675 @ 12psi in the summer heat and 690rwhp in october boost weather showing 14psi

I'm going to be running 3.45. I opted for those over the 3.73 because of losing traction off the line at the track. How do you like the 3.70s; did you notice a difference? I should be about 10psi. I honestly can't wait. Since he is one of my best friends and charges me little to nothing for labor I told him to take the car for the winter. Frees up some space in my garage and it's in his heated shop.
Yeah, I tested my IAT with and without the coil covers. It was easily a 20 degree difference after a run and how long it took to cool down. They look so good, but they were robbing me at the track.

That's the old adage right? If it breaks fix it and make it better. I love the number you're making. It must be one hell of a blast to mash it with 690whp! damn!

I love the LPE 3.70's. They pull so great out of turns and it is incredible from a roll. However, I don't drag race and my car is setup for canyons and Autox. I also have all the suspension mods, combined with my MPSS's I get decent traction. Yeah, 20 degrees in IAT's is huge.
