Let me know how you like the SFC's... it's on my "little project" coming up soon for my car as well. Do you have stock shocks/springs. You'll want to lower it as soon as you put those wheels on. My '97 Z looked like a 4x4 when I put 17" ZR1's on it. Be sure to post up some pics when everythings done.

Also, sorry if I thread jacked. :embarassed:

[AChotrod]

:jest: Id be all over the pics...... You know purely for site reasons.......:heart:
I havent made it to the track yet. Still working on the car and I havent even had the time to go if the car was done so far.


Brenda I love all my UMI stuff and SFCs help a ton and give a great jacking point. Your car will handle like a slot car once its all installed. :devil:

[CamaroGirl]

[AChotrod]

You hittin on me?:embarassed:







































lol Jk!

[CamaroGirl]

[z28rob18]

what size cam? i didnt realize how much nitrous goodies you have. thinks gonna run! and like i said on ls1tech car is clean as hell i got a bigger pay out wen i took the carpet out.

[AChotrod]

i'm hittin on your car dude!
damn, but id take the car over me too.:shiner:

Rob the cam is a custom grind LE cam in the 23x/23x 6xx/6xx 112lsa range. This made a few more HP peak than my old cam but doesnt fall off as fast. Should be good for 1-2 tenths on motor and better on spray.

[KissMyWhtSS]

haha SWEET!! where ya puttin the cat?! lol

Was wondering the same thing after my "why can't I have $1500+ in go fast goodies laying around my house" thoughts :laugh:

[AChotrod]

i really like, at least you had common sense not to do this it was the biggest pita http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i310/faustZ28/qform001.jpg

[AChotrod]

I pulled the stereo since I never listen to it. When Im in this car all I care about is the sound of the motor and exhaust:metal:

[faust]

i have all the stereo, amps mounted on welded in studs and quick disconnects 3 amps 2 audio control processor and box can be out in 5 min for track days
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i310/faustZ28/002-2.jpg

[AChotrod]

Nice set up there and the car looks really clean too. Truth is I barely listen to music at all even in my DD. When I see a system like that all I can think of is how heavy it must be and how many other go fast parts I could have gotten. lol

[faust]

actually that was my wifes system i removed it was she wrecked the honda. i bought her god forbid, a mustang vert she didn't want it in there so i took ithttp://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i310/faustZ28/whtrice001.jpg
