What mods are you doing this winter? (part II) - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Motion427 · 12-21-2011, 09:00 PM

Installed the Kooks step headers and their 3" exhaust 2 days before I parked it.

This winter:
I do have a CAI intake for it.Will do some track time and dyno time before and after next summer.

I also have a set of drag radials at the shop if I need them.

My wife may get me a Heritage grille for it in February.
I got an extra rear diff w/3.45 ratio that should help a bit.

Later next summer,I should have a custom tune and a performance converter.

I have to start somewhere,right??????

Psshh dyno day.....I am setting up to smoke you down the 1320!!

The 4l80 and 9 inch conversion will soak up some of my RWHP #s, but will enable me to FLY!!

@2L82RUN; Nice. Would appreciate it if you could PM me once you have it all installed. Thinking you won't be able to tell the difference with the axles, but wondering if there will be some difference with the DS. Generally (and I know all the vendors will claim theirs doesn't), a one piece DS will generate some vibrations. I'm thinking of getting a new DS, so looking for an "honest" opinion, as there are some options for really strong like stock 2 piece DS coming to market shortly that I've been hearing about.

Will do. The plan is to do all this over the weekend of Jan 6-8. Have some friends coming down to help. I don't mind a little vibration. Already have that with the solid engine mounts. Unless I get some really nice weather after the install I won't be able to give you a good opinion, but trust me......as soon as I get the opportunity to roll down the road, I will

Starting after the holidays, I am flipping the fuel rail, adding the TechAfx hose kit, "CAMARO" valve covers, moving the coils, and painting the intake. While everything is taken apart, I am adding the 102mm TB, porting the intake and possibly (if wife allows) buying the MAST LS3 ported heads.......
