Hello from Albuquerque Just wanted to introduce myself to the Forum. I bought a 95' Medium Quasar Blue Z-28 2 weeks ago from one of my neighbors. I have always liked the Camaro's in this color. They were looking at trading it in because they had problems with it sputtering and loosing power every once in awhile. They took it to the "stealer" a couple of times which cost them $800 which didn't solve their problem.
I still wanted the car, so they sold it to me for a great price. I performed a fuel pressure test on it and it was only getting 16psi. So I ordered a Racetronix plug-n-play setup, installed it and now she is running great. No problems at all. Man what a score!
I have been glued to this forum since I got the car getting educated on my new project car. Forums like these are really helpful to myself, I decided to get my Racetronix setup due to high recommendations from this forum and just bought a set of rotors and pads through a group buy from Wholesale Parts Direct.
Thank you LS1tech!

Cool, I was wanting to check into that. Would like to get a baseline of how it's performing. I am going to change out all the fluids and replace little things that look like their wearing down before I take it out there.
Good to meet you..

What mods do you have? If you don't already know, the elevation will kill your times. Just an FYI
There's a few of us that get together and hang out, bs, etc. There's no official club or anything though. I think there's going to be a few of us at the strip on sunday, a couple guys' cars are still down, so not sure who will actually be there.
