Default 2000 Camaro SS, M6, Stock cube LS2 build

I'm putting together a little 364ci LS2 for my 2000 SS. Looking for a goal of 10.9x NA in a somewhat heavy car. Let me know what you think... The car should take a 200 shot, but I'm going to see how long I can be happy with it NA before I have to spray it. I'll probably try to stay around a 150 shot...TRY being the key word.

Build Sheet

LS2 block/crank
Diamond pistons
Diamond rings
Eagle H-beam rods
AFR 205 heads
Fast 92 intake (ported by Tony Mamo)
NW billet 92 mm throttle body
42lb green top injectors
243/247 .624/.624 113+3lsa cam
ARP main studs
ARP head studs
Cometic .040" headgaskets
Fidanza Aluminum flywheel
Centerfroce DFX
Pro 5.0
Steel driveshaft
9" rear with a locker, 35 spline axles, 3.50's (thinking about going 4.30's...)
15x3.5/15x8 prostars with BFG 275/60r16 drag radials
QA1 12 type r, single adjustable 12 ways, 275lb spring up front
adjustable lower control arms
adjustable panhard rod
will be buying adjustable torque arm soon
I'm sure I'm missing some important stuff here...

Things removed

AC
Cruise
ASR
Rear seat/belts
AIR
EGR
Spare/jack
speakers in the hatch
Power steering
I'm sure I'm missing some stuff

looks real good. if your gonna spray it at some point and get closer to 9s you probably shouldnt go to 4.30s you'll be toping out at about 125mph in 4th with the 4.30s probably would want something like 3.73s

edit: didnt realize it was a 28" tall tire

Yeah....28" tire, I'm guessing close to 7000-7200 rpm. Should get me around 135mph if the gear calculator is close. I can always change out the gears later if I want to go faster. I just don't see 9's on this set-up. On the spray, I would be very happy with low-mid 10's.

You should easily see tens, I have alot less motor then you, and I went 11.1, on a crappy 1.62 60, later had a 1.54 but she broke (rear). I mean stage 1 patriots, and a torquer II, it doesnt get much more budget than that.

We have the same weight reduction, but i also have a 6pt wolfe bar, thats 88lbs...

I used eibach sportlines in the back. Mostly for looks now.. I'll see how they work. If they don't work out, I'll put the stockers back in and cut as necessary. I was just tired of all the "4wd" and "lift kit" comments so I have to lower it down a bit

I hope to.. HOPEFULLY it's running within a week or so. I still have a lot to do, and a few parts to track down. Finally making progress though.

What all did you remove? Do you have a list somewhere?

I'm keeping all bumper supports, air bads, and door bars for sure....

Stupid siren and loud horn = 2.5 lbs
Stock Y pipe and single cat = 21.1875 lbs
Frame horns = 5.125 lbs
Fender metal = 1.25 lbs
Rear Seatbelts = 4.1375 lbs
Aftermarket Speaker Wiring (will be added to considering there is a ton more of it) = .25 lbs
Carpet = 29.0375 lbs
Windshield washer fluid reservoir with water = 8.0625 lbs
Heat shields beneath the car = 2.1875
Soon to be useless exhaust hangers = 2.00 lbs
Rear Seats = 22.4375 lbs
Random exhaust hangers, brackets, nuts, and bolts = 9.25 lbs
Front Speakers = 2.75 lbs
Rear Speakers = 3.25 lbs
Front Speaker Brackets = 1.25 lbs
Interior brackets including (rear seat brackets, antenna bracket, rear seat belt brackets) = 3.875 lbs
Security System Hood Lock = 2.6875 lbs
Antenna + Wire (not including the actual metal rod) = .25lbs
Stock catback = 50.1875lbs
Rear Armrests = 4.21875lbs
Extra Metal Trimmings = 1.00lbs
Emergency Brake System = 12.125lbs
Door Fiberglass = 1.90625 lbs
Door Crash Bars and Brackets = 17.5625 lbs
Window Regulator Metal = 1.8846535171744791666666666666667 lbs
Driver's Air Bag = 3.625 lbs
Passenger's Air Bag = 9.46875
Heater Core (empty) = 1.03125
AC Tube = .09375

Mat that is Underneath the Dash Pad = 2.34375 lbs
Heater Core Hoses = 2.0125 lbs
Front Sway Bar = 15.09375 lbs
Plastic Shrouding = 4.968749 lbs
Power - Manual seat slider = 14.4375 - 10.8125 = 3.625 lbs
EGR and EVAP parts = 1.625 lbs

Grand total to this point = 307.509699 lbs + all the stuff I still have to either cut out or weigh.

I'm sure my car will come to that one day, but for now I want to keep it safe. It used to get driven 30,000 miles a year, it'll probably go 10k now. I thought it was safer to lose the A/C, P/S, etc over the bumper supports/door bars. In time....
