Default street/strip Camaro build thread.

UPDATE 9/23/10 check page 17
I figured id make a thread of what im doing on my 2002 Camaro Z28. I have owned the car since jan 2004 when it was BONE STOCK with 8k miles. It currently has 56,000 on it now. I have been the factory shortblock in it untill last Oct when I pulled it all apart. My stock motor is going in my dads 73 Corvette. Here are my plans in the next couple months and what I have already done in the last few months.
-HKE 370ci nitrous shortblock
-GMPP ported L92'S
-Futral Motorsports custom nitrous cam
-Edelbrock vic jr manifold
-Accufab 4150 TB
-Complete UMI k-member
-QA1 shocks and springs
-Nano nitrous kit spraying a 300 shot through NX plate
-CWI beadlock wheels
-complete wire/fuse box tuck in the engine bay
-!HVAC
-!pwr steering and add manual rack
-smooth/fill/paint engine bay
-GM bowtie valve covers
-American racing 1 7/8 headers
-battery re-locate
-Sunoco hood
Before I started.

full Midwest Chassis rear half already in the car.


at the track on the old setup.

Now the fun starts:

prepping for paint

New motor:


Vic Jr before powdercoat black



UMI k-member, upper and lower a-arms
