Car is back and running strong - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

********The RPM 4L80e lvl 5 trans is working perfectly with the PCS controller. drivability is perfect. car or trans doesn't get hot, even sitting in traffic. shifts strong. its really nice not having the car constantly shifting up and down all the time.

I will have to relearn how to launch the car. on the old 6l80 with the 3200 converter. the first gear was so violent I just launched the car at idle and it would cut mid 1.5 60's. now first gear isn't nearly as violent and with the new converter I can literally foot brake the car to 3500 rpm. so I will have to spend the next couple times at the track working out what the tires will hold.

the nitrous outlet kit is also working great. I have it set up on a button and soon as I get going in first I press it and leave it on thru the pass and shifts.

I put a 3.5" pulley on the whipple. the car is really liking the extra boost, but it is not happy about the 6 rib set-up. it will DESTROY a belt in about 10 full passes. so im going to see how far I can push the 6 rib set-up then switch to a 10 rib.

the squash fuel system and lines look and function perfectly.

the same for the alky control meth system and the DSS driveshaft.

I will throw some pics up here in alittle bit.

no clue, didn't dyno it, all tuning is done on the streets in real conditions. going to try and go to the track Friday night. but its been so hot lately, would pretty much be a waste of time. but I will prolly still go and work on launching the car.

Rdunn · 08-20-2013, 09:54 AM

here are some pics

Still looks stock

meth lights

cept for the nitrous panel, still stock appearing.

not so stock looking under the hood. whipple, nitrous, meth, fuel.

im going to throw the 17" welds on here this afternoon when the baby goes to sleep. I'll try and get some pics of the driveshaft and trans.

10aSSee D · 08-20-2013, 10:33 AM

Are you on the stock bottom end?

Rdunn · 08-20-2013, 10:45 AM

yep, 100% stock block and rotating assembly. stock heads w/ ls3 conversion

there are quite a few cars running 9's and over 900whp on the factory shortblocks.

will prolly do pistons and rods this winter.

94guy · 08-20-2013, 10:48 AM

I would like to see what your drive shaft safety loop looks like? What rear gear are you running?

Do you have the N20 only on the button or in combination with WOT and Window switch. Cause I have seen a few on push buttons where they get all excited and after crossing the line they let out of the throttle but forget to release the button and when they get back on it kaboom.

A push button in conjunction with the other safety devices is good because you are more in control. If you start loosing traction you can release the button to gain control while still WOT.

How many lbs are you pushing with the Whipple?

Rdunn · 08-20-2013, 12:41 PM

factory rear gear.

only on a button. I don't run any type of controller or window switch on any of my cars.
