3.27 LSD installed! We believe the idle issue is due to timing.

What's the skinny with the tranny, Danny?

Did not get to that. Next year I plan on doing a trans swap, probably a 4L80E. I'm just praying she holds together when the block is built. I will have the trans drained again when they build the block!

*correction it is not 'clunking' on the downshifts, its more like on occasion the gear gets caught.

Recorded a short clip brake boosting; had my buddy behind the wheel so I could hear her!

I have uploaded my excel spreadsheet on my build to my google docs account! I know a lot of people (on camaro5, Instagram and the v6 performance page) are interested in the build; expenses, current projects, weight reduction, etc thus I have published it to the web; however, I have left a few things out. The link is posted on the first post in my build thread.

Looking real good and producing some nice power with that twin turbo setup of yours.

Thanks man!

Cut off the metal brackets, remounted the AEM boost solenoid, rerouted the boost lines and made a bracket for the oil separator. Just want to pull out the a/c line and that side would look really clean under the hood. The strut tower will be painted when the BCS racing crash bars arrive.

djcolopi · 04-04-2017, 06:15 PM

I finally took the plunge.....I had Jacob over at JE Import Performance delete my A/C lines and ducting after he finished the oil change and the alignment. Next month when the block is getting built I will have the A/C compressor and condenser removed as well as get rid of the power steering cooler.

A/C lines and ducting - 7.6 lbs
A/C compressor - 13.2 lbs
A/C condenser - 6.4 lbs

Dropped Inferno off at 301garage today to have the strut tower cleaned up and painted as well as the fusebox cover and engine cover. The BCS racing crash bars are not in yet so they will be painted at another time.

Found out the camaro ss diff weighs 90lbs without fluid

Just weighed the open 2.92 diff and it came to 56lbs! So I added 34lbs to the rear just by going with the 3.27 LSD.

Deleting the AC setup nearly offsets that gain. Plus 8lbs with the LSD addition and the AC system delete. It will be well worth the 8lbs with the higher gear ratio and the dual wheel launch. Good work Danny!
