Another 98 Camaro SS, T-88, 370 Iron Block Build Joey's personal 98 Camaro SS is finally started.
- 370 6.0L Iron Block (Bored not stroked)
- Diamond -15cc piston
- Stock crank shaft
- Stock heads w/Patriot Gold .650 lift springs
- Custom cam from Cam Motion Via W2W
- Cam Motion lifters
- W2W push rods
- Precision T-88 turbo, Tial wastegates and BOV's
- Intercool with a custom air-to-ice system build by Joey
Will have a TCI TH-400. Joey is building his own 9". Converter has yet to be determined.
His car will be for street and strip. Biggest thing is completion date. Hopping for the fall but he is really bogged down with work at the shop - I'm sure I'm not a help with 98 SS twins
.
Here's a couple pictures of his build. I'm sure he can get into more specific on the build. The last picture is his custom air-to-water holding tank. AND yes with a mustang in the back ground. Another shop project car - will be running twin T-61's.

Yep - well a little. Drove my SS to a local carshow. No problems. Even at the track this weekend, air temp was 96 degrees, track 140. Fans came on a little while, but never got about 170-175. Track conditions were not the best, so no new best, still going off wastegates, finally got my 8 second license.
Joey's build will be killer. It will have a full interior to include the back seat - I have no idea who would be crazy enough to set in the backset of the SS with a 10-point roll cage
Not me!! 
. A lot to go, but it is nice to see some progress. Front end clip and fender is at the painters. Still looking for a good price on the hood he wants.David

my horse power goal is more than daves made.. as far as times it will be a drag radial car so it will take me quite a while to get brave... maybe i will have to hire dave to run it for a while since he is used to the quarter mile dance..

Unfortunately, Joey is not a sponsor - yet. BUT he would not sell a "kit." Every car he builds is different than the last. -- i.e. intercooler. Mine sets in front. The Rustangs (I'm sorry Mustang
) will be done in the front part of the engine bay front fender. Joey's will be attached to fire-wall. Again pictures will be worth a thousand words. Maybe Joey/Ryan (the Mustang owner) will shoot a couple of pictures of his build.Everything he builds is one-off. Seems to work out very well.
Thanks again for all the compliments. Joey does know his **** - and doesn't mind coming to the track and help.

Kyle - Black. He painted my engine bay also, he used the factory dull dark blue. So what does he do on his? Welded all the holes shut, body putty this shut, primer it, wet sand it and than shoot it shinny black
. Actually mine looks great

.. These are my 98 stockers, valve job and springs/retainers, etc. Money is a little tight, figured we would get it running this way first and than add some AFR's/ET heads this winter.David

Got to learn how to drive on ice 
You mean that the car isn't suppose to go from one edge of the lane to the other side and your rear-end isn't suppose to run beside the front end. I mean no body else was using the whole track David

I'll attach a sample of the 67's build. Chad's 67 is really similar to an LS1 build, just that it isn't an LS1. Fuel injected - old and new school brough together.
And than there is the LT1 97 SS 383ci Blower project car; and the 93 Mustang twin T-61 build; and than oh yea another 93 Mustang twin turbo build. He does keep busy. Considering it is a 3 man shop. All fabrication, engine builds, ect are done in house.
