So your power steering pump went out on your 2011? What type of symptoms were you having? I mean I already know mine is going out, I just want to hear some other people's issues they had.
after doing a donut (i hear the big wheels cause alot of stress on the pump) the power steering went out at low rpms. it would be there at higher rpms (above 2500) but would make this god awful grinding sound and smell.

Hey I've got an extra one if you want it? You'll just need to pull your pulley off and put it on this one!

Can you hold it for me until I get back to Tennessee? That would be great.

PM me your address and I'll send it out if you want. Or just let me know when you want it and I'll send it out.

For now, I am looking at the nitrous from Jannetty (he is my tuner, and will provide upgrade tune) as well as the drag radials. Then the cam/port & polished heads due to pricing and finally the 3.91 gears.

Car is a 2011 Camaro 2SS/RS w/ LS3

my signature has all current mods. Any input on if this would be a bad route and if so, why?
First of all there's no way in hell I would remote tune ANY nitrous I don't care who it wAs. You need to look for a reputable LsX tuner in your area or if it's worth it "road trip".
Your new power is going to need axles, driveshaft, suspension, sticky tires. If you want it to hook.

Check at nitrousoutlet.com for out specific nos kits built just for our cars.

I actually was planning on going to a shop in Salt Lake City then having Matt@FSP fine tune and go over everything they do.

That's awesome, but at least you'll be on a dyno and not just remote tuning you know?
What shop?

Rodger that, a nitrous install mod should be along with an "in shop" tuner.

I'm not tuning for my nitrous yet. LNC-2000 for now. I will be putting in all the safety stops though. RPM based window switch, fuel pressure cutoff, AFR high/low cutoff, etc. This shit is so much more expensive than the "kit" they sucker you in with.
