About this Current Vehicle:

1998 Chevy Camaro Z28
5.7L 346ci LS1 code V8, Four speed automatic GM 4L60E hooked up to the factory performance axle (3.23 rear gears), all power (windows, door locks, mirrors, seats, etc.), T-tops, Monsoon upgrade sound system, K&N air filter (drop-in), custom two tone black/red interior. Cammed and loud. At least a ticket for loud exhaust isn't a moving violation, right?

Settled down

The Z28 is settled down, most of the kinks are worked out, and it's broken in and ready to rip. Now it just needs a tune to lean out the A/F ratio. It's definitely quite capable, I'd estimate mid-low 12s.

Keep stepping in it

Well I figured out why I can't get the mofo to run in gear. The PCV hose is uh...well.....kinda missing...*sheepish grin* But now that I know that, it can be repaired easily. And then I will need to get my hands on a lid. Then a tune. And the brakes are shot. So those need to be fixed too, cause I dunno about you, but I like having good brakes. Anyway, I'll keep updates as I progress. Hopefully it will be done soon, since I can't wait to get back into my Fbody.

Berger Panel

I took the panel off my 95 Camaro and painted it.
It looks nice.

Factory Options:

Performance Axle (3.23), Power seats/mirrors/windows/locks, active alarm anti-theft system, PASSKEY-II passive anti-theft system, T-tops, Monsoon 6-speaker sound system-tape deck in front seats with 12 disc CD changer in trunk, Sport appearance package (where the mirrors and t-top bar are painted black to match the t-tops).

Exterior Modifications:

Berger panel

Interior Modifications:

Custom black/red two-tone seats.

Performance:

K&N drop-in filter, lid, LS1 Intake Manifold (for now), 02 internals, flycut pistons, 02 LS1 Corvette heads with Comp 921 springs, Comp XER 228/230 cam, Pacesetter Long Tubes, H-pipe, Comp 850 lifters, Comp Magnum chrome-moly pushrods, stock 10-bolt (9" ASAP lol), stock trans, SLP oil pump, 245/50/16 Fuzion ZRi tires on stock 16 inch 5-stars. It's not done yet but that's the official list.

Suspension/Chassis:

Nothing yet

Drivetrain:

Stockish......;)

Electronics:

I'm pretty happy with my GM Monsoon system.

To-Do List:

Lunati 427 rotating assembly in a GMPP LSX block
AFR 225 heads, high-lift springs (like the Comp 921s it has now)
Dry-sump oiling setup
BBK SSI intake mated to a Holley 90 mm TB
QTP stepped headers
Mandrel-bent H-pipe to side exits with GMMG style chambered mufflers
Scorpion 1.8 ratio roller rocker arms
Up the cam a bit, probably into the 24x duration range with over .620 lift
Full Strano/UMI suspension with Koni 4-way shocks
Tubular K-member/a-arms
T-56 swap
I want to make 600 rwhp and out-handle Ferraris.
VFN Sunoco Hood
Fourth Circle Designs "Sunoco" stripes for hood and body, solid black
Fikse FM-5s powdercoated black 18x9/18x11
Bigger, better brakes
I believe in all around performance, I wanna go fast in every direction I can!
