Starting my new build on my 99 Black Camaro SS posting everything up as i go along i just picked everything up in the last couple of months
bought a set of Weld RTS 17's high pad full slick hoosier rears and m&h fronts
bought them to clear big brakes
Planning on ctsv new gen brakes ( what do you guys think and how difficult to install)
bought a moser 12 bolt with new motive thick 3.42 gears and had it gutted and pyle brothers build me everything new from scratch with forged parts 33 spline arp studs installed all around
installed a umi black tubular k member
did bmr full suspension
and plan on picking up a set of qa1's
pulled the built t56 i had and picked up a stage 3 built th400 with trans brake
and a vigilante triple disk converter
motor wise i bought a 370 stroker forged lq9 iron block from farris racing engines with forged everything in it
ordered a set of arp head studs block already has everything arp installed in it
still trying to make up my mind on head combos since im doing a boosted set up and need something along the lines of 72cc heads like afr 225s and bigger
i picked up a precision pt88 complete turbo kit from turbo technologies
with air to water precision intercooler resevoir and upgraded piping.
kit is completely fabbed up and was already in an fbody so i just need to re-install it in mine once i finish the motor
i picked up a big hp aftermarket stainless dual pump stainless in the trunk tank with mototron 60lb injectors complete fue system from rails to tank with huge stainless lines.
my car is already on a diet with power steering being the only thing i am still running. i have 2 corbeau racing seats installed in front racing carpet installed and plans to put a wolfe 6 point cage (opinions welcome on that)
the only thing i have left suspension wise to finish the car is an adjustuble tunnel mounted torque arm and a bigger sway bar for the 12 bolt
(what u guys find most success with on torque arms and sway bar set ups
( roll bars? )
i have alot of wiring and gauges and controllers to run on turbo kit
and am still contemplating on keeping my nitrous kit to spray on the turbo or not
ive also given though to running e85 and if i do will i need to change anything being that i already have a huge complete race fuel system that already has the stainless lines etc

heres a little update for you guys i got the car off my jackstands cleaned it up cleaned up the wheels and started installing fuel and turbo parts
i starting cutting and fitting the aftermarket fuel stainless tank and fuel safety cage for it ( just needs to be tacked in) i cut and sat the tank in ( gonna get some molding to go around the opening on bottom of tank .
i am gonna start removing the oem fuel system today
last night i mounted and ran the precision air to water intercooler and mounted the waterflo external pump as well as the standalone water chiller tank
i had to remove almost everything from the front end and cut a number of things out
deleted my horns from factory location (gonna have to decide where to mount them now) and had to delete my fog lights as they will not allow fitment for the intercooler or the waterflo pump
already installed the k-member and got my billet solid block motor mounts from hawks
plan on getting to removing the stock fuel system today and running the aftermarket fuel system and routing the big stainless an lines and dual pumps tonight

To run the 6 piston 2nd gen CTS-V brakes you'll need 18's up front, other than that, the rotors from a Z06 work and I think minor shimming of the brackets so that the caliper is centered over the rotor...superchevy did a nice article, here I'll link you.
