Default Got me a Camaro!!!

Hey guys, got a 98 Z28 this weekend. It's been 2 years since I had my 00 WS6 and I've been wanting to go fast for so long it's not even funny. I drove from KC to Alton Il. yesterday morning then drove it back. It's not my first Camaro, I've had a 94 Z28 M6 that I traded in for the T/A.

MODS include:
Patriot Stage 2 LS6 heads
228/230 .585/.585 ona 112lsa
Pacesetter LTs and custom ORY to a Dynomax Bullet and SLP dual tip exhaust
Built M6 with a Ram Power Grip clutch
17x9.5 / 17x11.5 TT2's G-Farce Ta's, I say farce because 1st is tough to hook.
Koni struts on stock springs, Sphon Torque Arm and Drilled Rotors.
It also has an SS hood and halo's.

I'll have pics this weekend after I clay bar it and make her shine. One question though, the Halos don't work, the guy said they weren't hooked up. Can you really unhook the halo or is it just burned out?

Nice ride man. In the near future when you need more power, grab a bigger cam and slap a Ported FAST 92/92 on there and a set of rockers. You still have room to mod. Not to mention a 200 shot

Once I get my new garage done I will rip it apart. I want a 500ci.ERL block and TFS heads! I think a 750hp n/a motor would be the ****.

Thanks for the compliments!

assuming you have same kind of halos I have, there will be two wires on the back of the housing which most likely are red and black: ground + Hot, You don't have to wire em up, Mine aren't, I tucked the exposed leads inside of the insulation tubing and stuffed that behind the brackets until I decide to wire it up or whatnot, you can easily splice the ground and hot into the parking light wires which is much better than using those plastic wire taps or silly wirenut caps in the longrun for connection durability effectiveness etc, I would highly recommend a "western Union" splice & solder with shrinkwrap or at least elec. tape wrap, idk bout 98's parking light harness colors but for 01-02 at least black is ground and blue is turn signal power *pulsating current*, brown is steady power, If you want them to blink with turn signals splice your hot to the blue wire. steady= Splice into brown. For those of you with a smart *** comment/joke about a western union etc. look it up first, I do happen to have a degree in electronics technology so hope this helps OP! Clean Z
