At least you know the trick. I had a m6 lt1 z28 when I was 19. I put 4:10s and BF Goodrich drag radials on it. Man, I dumped that clutch all the time! Never knew how weak it was back then lol.i just thought the whining noise was because they were richmonds haha.

Haha, they have a policy of not taking photos without permission. If the owner is able to replace his buffer tomorrow I'm going back to get a headlamp polished again. My car's hood looks like *** because the clearcoat is coming off, I'll see what I can get for ya. Their website is a little outdated because they've had some recent turnover:

Haha, I was only kidding. At first I thought you said you went threw a cheerleader car wash. Ya know, the ones that raise money and use dish soap to wash cars. That'd be creepy if you had pictures lmao.

Finally brought my car home. After being stored at a storage lot for nearly 6 months as I couldn't bring it home yet (had another project in the driveway, finally ditched it) she's finally home! So happy. Now I can use my garage and turn wrenches without getting stabbed in the *** with sand spurs and bitten by ants.

Addwd the Camaro letters today but not sure how I feel about them. Color was Charcoal Metallic and I just thought they would be darker than they are, almost blackish. Give it a day or two and see how it goes. Anybody else have opinion??

Already changed it before the day was out. Darkened it up with Dupli Color Storm Gray Metallic. Will do for now.

Changed the oil today. Went with Mobil 0w 40. It's been using quite a bit more since I've been going to the track lately. The engine is noticeably quieter too.

I also put some holley LS valve covers on. I didn't realize the hole to hole dimensions were different on the coil packs until I went to install them. I'll have to see it I can get a coil pack on there that fits. Here are some before and after pics.

Anyone know a coil pack that will fit? I think the hole to hole dimensions are 72mm.

I could be wrong, but the one I have is 85mm.

I wanted to go SD but I can't pass inspection here.

No, its a Granetelli MAF. Came on the car when I bought it. I actually had an FTP 104 lid on it with a reducer. After looking how restrictive the neck is on the lid, I threw an SLP one on there. Going to see how it does with that at the track. I really don't see a restriction on the neck of the SLP one. Worth a shot!

Nope,, It wouldn't do. I dropped her off today at the paint/body shop to have the "Berger" panel repainted back to its factory white. The way it should have remained and not spray painted black by its previous owner!!!
