Default 69 SS Camaro Conv

Sunday I went out for a cruise for the first time in a month with the old 69. It was only 85 degrees so I went topless and had a blast.

The itch to add some more power seems to have struck me again. Everytime I have swapped engines or added a supercharger I end up making some other changes so I figured I better snap some pics. My 69 currently dynos at 565rwhp.

Pseudonym yes I do. I had an 05 White Commerative Edition and just replaced it with an09. Amazing the horsepower numbers that are coming from the factory. Yet, my 69 will always be my favorite car no matter how many toys I add to the stable.

I thought I saw this car when I was lurking on viperalley. I like the way the rollbar looks with the top down. I would like to get a 99 GTS silver w/ blue stripes. One day when I can afford it. I've wanted one since I was 9 years old, and that was in 99

The car looks great. If you feel like trading the viper for another F-body give me a call.

Just checked out the dyno sheet. 616.3 ft-lbs! That sure is a nice number.

Looks way cool. I wish I still had mine from high school. All that's left now is a Polaroid.

The American Speed engine is sweet package. This is my first performance engine in many years that is not boosted so it takes time to get use to the lower numbers.

Mr Black I wish I had some of my old pics but at least we still have the memories.

I am thinking of of using an LS7 this time and adding some boost to it. Normally I like superchargers but this time I am thinking of going back to small turbos. I have 2 other projects ahead of this car so it will be at least 6 months before I have the time.

The Camaro is sitting behind this 09 Viper patiently waiting to say "More Boost Please"
