A special thanks to Circle D!!!!!!! I recently bought a high mileage (120K) 2000 Camaro SS with plans of making it a strong street car that will hopefully get me to the status of track champion and points leader for 2009 at our local track. I had an oil leak repaired and had some bolt-ons done by Brian at Pavlock Performance so that provided an opportunity to let Circle D build us a solid 4L60E transmission and billet street converter. All I can say is wow! Our car went from running 13.6s with 2.05 60fts stock to 11.6s with 1.59 fts with bolt-ons and no weight reduction other than the spare tire/jack and front sway bar.
The car feels great on the street and rolls out hard when I feel the need to push it a bit.
I ran it in our local annual HRP Bracket Bash Saturday and Sunday and I made it to the finals on Saturday and made it to the Semis on Sunday. I made over $1200.00 over the weekend. That covered most of the mods I had done
The car is real tight feeling on the street, but shifts crisp and sweet at WOT.
Life is good!!!!
Thanks Circle D!!!!!!!!!

LOL. No TB on this car. It is a mild street car and I hope to keep it that way. Easier said than done.
We went with a Circle D 4C and it's right at a 3600 flash stall. I left the line at 2200 rpm, but it will run quicker if I load it up to the pushing point at the launch. I was really just trying to cut a light and win the event. The sweet 60fts and ETs were a bonus.
I bought all used bolt-on mods that consists of Jett-Hot LTs, Powerbond UD pulley, SLP CAI, SLP lid, K&N filter, LS6 intake and BMR bot-in relocation brackets. I tune the car myself, but I didn't have much time to tune for the race so I just threw a bunch of fuel at it and locked the timing at 24* to stay on the safe side.
I had drag lights and skinies on the front because I have to go through the water box at our track sometimes and the rears were 16 z28 wheels with 26x10.5-16 ET Streets. The car weighed in at 3545#s on the track scales. The only suspension mods were poly tranny mount, poly TA mount and the LCA relocation brackets.

The first 1/4 mile pass we made on the Friday before the event it went 111.69mph on the 11.98 pass. The DA was +600. The 1/8th mile was 7.594@90.73.
On Saturday the air was almost -1200 DA and it went 7.373@93.34. The track was in great shape Saturday. The car actually has more in it since I didn't play with lunch rpms, it wasn't tuned and I didn't drop the catback off the car. It is easy to remove with the single band clamp set up.
I think the car will pull low 1.5 60fts once I get it all dialed in.
