bolt on 10 ss

I think the big fear of nitrous from the camaro5 forums is part of the problem...guys are to ready to drop big cash on blowers. I'd say what Orange has done is very attainable with a good tuner at bay.

I think if you put enough gear & a shorter tire on a stock car with bolton's & a 150 shot, 10's would be easier. Right now the thing that's holding me back from running quicker is waiting on the 17" bogarts & I would really love a set of 3.90's. I almost put 3.73's in it, but still don't feel as if that's enough gear & didn't want to go as short as a 4.10.

I've been following your car since you started running it, I never realized that you went 10's before your cam. I had a cam before I had long tubes, cam was cheaper than long tubes & gave me basically the same power as long tubes. Now that I have the long tubes on it, it's so much quicker, woke the **** outta it.
What are you running for a clutch right now? I'm torn between a twin disc & a monster stage 4.

how do you like your NANO set up. Any noticeable improvement over regular nitrous? Did you install it yourself if so was it a PITA to install?

I run the Ls9 clutch, it works great. Holds the power and feels like a stock clutch. I've used the rpm twin disc billet clutch and didnt like it. The Ls9 clutch is your ticket.
The Nano was an easy install, its just an extra bottle to fill. I havnt been to the track to tell you if it made a ET difference. It made more power through out the curve with it......alot more power on less nitrous to boot.

How does the weight of the LS9 clutch compare to the stock clutch?

I looked at the LS9 clutch, don't know if I want to dump $1500 on a clutch. I was looking at the ACT clutch, but it was only $1k, checked out the Fidanza's, the vette guys like them, but they aren't pushing 4k#'s down the track, the monster is ~799 or so. Just feel like I'll have smoother engagement with the twin disc, I still may go with the LS9. With the way $ is right now & GM still having my car for over a month & not doing anything about the output shaft, I may be stuck with my stock clutch & no racing if I have to buy a new trans. My dealer will give me the trans @ cost ~$2600, but the run before my output shaft came apart, my hydraulics stuck/came up too slow & I burnt the clutch all the way through 2nd, they said they could see clutch smoke coming out of the car the whole way down the track. My car smelled like clutch for hours.

Wow, sorry to hear you are still waiting on them to decide what to do. They should at least tell you one way or the other.

The area rep that has to look at it is in the hospital & has been there for 3 weeks. My buddy is a lawyer for the dealership, he was going to call them today for me. Just haven't heard back from him.

They should go ahead and put a new tranny in it. Did they at least give you a loan car?

The Ls9 clutch with the lingenfelter flywheel weighs in at 57 pounds, I weighed it yesterday. I promise you you'll be happy with it.
The dealer needs to quit messin with you, I broke mine and had the car back with in 48 hours. They even let me swap the clutch out while it was on their rack. Lol
The Nano system picked my car up 90 rwhp from 4000-6500 rpms more with a 50 less shot. It's worth the money, call or PM Brad. He's a board member here.

My car is at the dealer now getting a new clutch/pressure plate/flywheel. I went in and complained about the pedal sticking (which it did at the track, but not terribly) and they said they knew of the problem and are taking care of it. Sucks to hear man, I hope it all works out for you.

I didn't ask, they are actually kind of doing me a favor, I have multiple cars, hell I still have a 10 second turbo regal, 9 second 99z & an 11 second syclone at the house + we have multiple daily drivers. They are fighting for me even though I brought it in with cam, full bolton's, DR's, nitrous & they are still fighting to get GM to approve the trans swap. No inconvenience not having the car.
