Hey guys,

My name is David, and I am new to this forum. I just bought an '01 BRR Camaro SS M6 with 88k miles this month! This is my first LS car, and I plan on having many more in the future. I was looking at an 05' GTO that was for sale on here before I got this Camaro, but this one already had mods that I wanted and I loved the way it looks (not to mention I have always liked Camaros). Now on to the mods:

Motor:

Stock Bottom End LS1
LS6 243 Heads
TSP 233/239 113 LSA Cam with Comp valvetrain
Meziere Electric Waterpump
FAST 92mm Intake
Nick Williams 92 mm throttle body
SVO 30lb Injectors
Pacesetter Coated Longtubes
Custom Exhaust (3" from headers to 4" Y-pipe, Magnaflow bullet muffler, and turns down)
Guy before me said it dynoed 430hp at the wheels. I have no charts or info to back that up unfortunately.

Transmission:

Tick Performance Stage 2 built T-56
Tick Performance Clutch Master Cylinder
Monster Stage 3 Clutch
Stock Hurst Shifter
Lou's Short Stick

Rearend:

Stock 10 Bolt with stock 3:42 gears
Trick Flow Girdle

Suspension/Wheels and Tires

3 Point Subframe Connectors
Eibach Pro-kit Springs
Drag Set-up: Centerline Split-Spoke Wheels 17X7 front, 15X10 rear (for sale with tires below and Aerospace brakes)
MT ET Streets on rear with BFG Gforce Sport Comp 2 in front
Street Set-up: Black ZR1 Replicas 17X11 Rear, 17X9.5 front with Nitto NT555.
UMI Adjustable Panhard Bar on the way to help clear my new wheels I ordered

Brakes

Aerospace Low Profile Pro-Street Rear Brakes to fit Centerline 15" wheels
Drilled/Slotted Front Brakes

Appearance

Painted Manta Stripe
Clear Corner Lights
Whistler Mod

I'm looking forward to seeing what all I can do with this car.

PICS:




















By the way, I hope those pictures turn out right. I was a little confused on how to adjust the size. Let me know what you guys think!

Nice car man. Looks fun. Start saving for that 12 bolt.

Thanks, yeah I am already looking around for one. I may end up having to just rebuild this one temporarily and get a 9" or 12 bolt later on. I also considered getting a Strange S60 off of here. I am in college right now though, so I have to be careful about how much money I drop into it. I cant wait to really launch it hard one time though! If I run across some sort of deal on here for one used I may go that route. We'll see.

I'll try to get an idle video of it. I love the way it sounds. I actually had a cop pull up beside me the other day while I still had no tag and an illegally loud exhaust, and all he did was asked me what kind of motor I was running and that it sounded good haha.

I just ordered my Tick CMC!! Should make a huge difference in the way the shifter feels/shifts. It is very notchy and tough to get in gear at high rpms right now. As soon as my Nova interior sells locally (I have a guy that is supposed to buy it this weekend) I will be looking into getting a new Strange S60 with 4.11s! I cant wait!

Here is a link to an idle video that someone requested. Its terrible camera work, but I did it with my iphone and I was in a hurry haha. You get the idea though. http://s1264.photobucket.com/albums/...t=c4485a83.mp4

Well my wheels and tires came in today, and my dad sent me this pic 5 gallon bucket for reference

What kind of wheels were on it? They are nice!

97_ek

iTrader: (5)

The wheels on it now are Centerline Split Spokes. 17X7 in the front and 15X10 in the rear. The only problem with them is they wont work with the stock rear brakes (even if the calipers are ground down). That is why it has Aerospace Drag rear brakes. The Centerline wheels and Aerospace brakes are about to be for sale as soon as I get the brakes switched out and put the new wheels/tires on.

Great looking SS!!! Post pictures of new wheels! I'm looking for wheels for my red 01 SS

Thanks a lot! I just got my wheels and tires mounted today, and they look awesome with the 315s. I had to do a good bit of grinding my bump stops and the BFH mod, but they finally mounted. I love them. It will probably be 2 days before I get pics up, but I will soon.

Well I have been working on the Camaro a good bit since Sunday. I got the Tick CMC installed Sunday afternoon, and I have been working on the wheels, tires, and panhard bar all week. I was one of the unlucky Camaro owners who had to do lots of the BFH mod, grinding axle bump stops, and install an adjustable panhard bar to make the 315s work. I still have a small rub somewhere in the rear when I turn right. I just have to find out where exactly it is still rubbing (tomorrow hopefully). I love the way these wheels and tires look on it, and they handle so much better than the drag pack (obviously). Its not nearly as floaty now. Here are some pics.















My Centerline wheels/tires are for sale now for $1000 if anyone is interested. The rear tires will have to be replaced soon.

Camaroking1996

I love those wheels! Are those 295's on the back?

97_ek

iTrader: (5)

Thanks I like them too! The rears are 315s, and they took a little bit of massaging the fenderwell to get them on there. I love them though

Camaroking1996

How does the exhaust sound? Any drone? Can you post a vid of how it sounds?

97_ek

iTrader: (5)

The exhaust is very loud, and yes it had a drone to it. Luckily its an M6 car, so on the interstate it stays around 1600 rpms. It sounds really good though, and I get tons of compliments on it. However, being a daily driver I need to run true duals or a legit catback out the back. This 4" y-pipe really opens it up. Here is the link to the video. Sorry for the terrible video quality, it was a quick video with my iphone one day.

BTW, my Centerline wheels are for sale now. $800 for the wheels and tires. The rear tires need to be replaced. The wheels alone were $1200 new. 15X10 rears with 275/50/15 MT ET Streets and 17X7 fronts with 225/45/17 BFG Gforce Sport Comp II with about 70-80% tread left.

These wheels WILL NOT work with F-body stock brakes in the back, but I have a set of Aerospace Low Profile Rear Pro-Street brakes that I can seel with the wheels if you are an LS1 f-body owner. I will let the wheels/tires and brakes go for $1000 plus shipping. The rear brakes need one new rotor and new pads. The rotor and pads off of the Aerospace website are $170 total I believe. The brake set-up cost $750 new.











Small amount of pitting on outside face of wheel. Could possibly buff out, and its hardly noticeable until you look closely.


The only curb rash on the entire set of wheels, again, hardly noticeable.



Let me know if you're interested.

Well I did some more adjusting on my Tick MC today, and took it for a drive. I was able to shift into third at high rpms FINALLY! It still wasnt as fast of a shift as I would like, but I just wanted to get a good smooth shift for once. I will be changing trans fluid tomorrow with Redline ATF to see if that helps some too.

After I get my new rearend in the car I will order me a new MGW or Pro 5.0 shifter for it. Any comments from anyone who has used either of these two shifters? I've heard that the return spring on the MGW can be a little too stiff for some people, but they all say they never miss a shift either. Any feedback will be appreciated.
