Default Back Together And Out Of Hibernation!

Not sure what is the best forum for this, Mods feel free to move if needed.

I finally got my car all back together from my winter project and cleaned up! ( took all winter to save up money and 2 weekends to do the work) I installed a LS6 valley cover, Powerbond UD pulley, 160 deg thermostat, Kooks 1 3/4" LT headers/catted Y, TR55 Plugs, VRD Wires, and a VRD Tune. Car runs great after a this series of bolt-ons!
Last series was VRD/GMMG style cat-back, LID, UMI SFC, UMI LCA's, UMI Relobrackets, UMI Panhard Bar, UMI Torque Arm, UMI Swaybars, (Im partial to UMI) Strano Springs, and SLP Bilstein Shocks. Elite Engineering Catchcan, MGW Shifter.

I have no idea what kind of numbers it will put down but my butt dyno is saying around 350 RWHP

Much thanks to the guys at Vengeance Racing and UMI Performance for great products and support!

Thanks,
If I had to do it over I would have saved for the Koni shocks instead. During spirited driving the Bilsteins tend to float a little.

Damn good looking Camaro man! Love the rims. I have the same spring and shock set up that I need to stop being lazy and install lol. How bad do they float?? Haven't really heard of that before, was just curious.

Car looks clean! I like the FM5's a lot. One of the best looking wheels to put on an F-Body IMO. Engine bay is immaculate as well. Not a fan of the exhaust tips but to each his own.

Not bad but Sam was definitely right that the Koni would provide better dampening. Im OCD too lol.

Sweet Camaro.

FM5's/profile5's and 4th gen Camaros are just soulmates This wheel was out in 93 when these cars came out, and still looks as fresh in 2012 as back then.
