Spring Mod's - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I thought I'd start up a Spring Mod thread. I know we're expecting a foot of snow this week, but the nicer weather will be here....soon... I hope

.

Anyway, I'll start off this this. The MGW short throw shifter is installed and I love the feel

. I had a factory Hurst short throw shifter and I did like it, but the MGW not only has a very unique feel from gear-to-gear, the throw is a bout 30% less. But it's really the "feel" that I love the best. Here are a couple of pics. I'm liking the color contrast of the silver stick to the silver of the painted interior, but did pick up another stick to have chromed. Any thoughts?

Anyway, as we brace for a foot of snow, the Wild SS remains safely tucked away waiting for the spring.

That looks great! Nice job

Been thinking about one of these shifters myself at some point.

I'll be getting these in a few weeks.

ECS1500 Supercharger
85lb injectors
Meth injection.

Installed by Don at Slowhawk!

Nice! I like the silver also, think it will contrast better with the silver than the chrome.
I'm looking to do a line lock and some sort of boost gauge for next mods..

Room full 'o parts......
ACS Z28 spoiler, 1LE rear diffuser, quad tips, ACS front deflectors, and few misc. things too! I just don't believe it will ever warm up enough to install them :(
