Gotta love it when a plan comes together and delivers. That’s bad ***

Bam nice numbers on pump gas, with more in it. You should be able to trap 135-140 mph in the 1/4 I'm thinking?

You may want to visit Team Chevelle at chevelles.com. There are guys over there that were on the assembly lines actually building those vehicles from their inception till they were discontinued.

I was just talking to my buddy who drag races a lot and he said the same thing. I'd like to hit the track for a test and tune night once. We don't have many tracks near us though, I think I may buy a pair of 15x10 wheels with a pair of drag radials and see how that helps with my traction. Or probably what's more likely is I'll get bored this winter and install mini-tubs and frame connectors.

I forget are you in NY state?

But yeahh I'd think well into the 130s would be achievable even taking it easy.

Yeah, I'm in upstate, NY near Ithaca. At least for now. I'd love to be able to go down south somewhere so I could drive my car more throughout the year.

Road trip down to Phoenix. I’ll give her a nice garage spot.

Ryan,
do you recall the hx dimensions? I’ve been starting my search for that. I thought I had a hx pump all lined up, but they refunded me today. Oh well

Thanks
jim

I think I need to go there for the winter! It snowed last night!

Jim, it's a PLM universal. Not sure of the dimensions off hand.

I'm running an Afco ZL1 hx. Core is 26.25" x 11.375", but it's 3" thick so I had to cut out part of my grille to fit. I believe recess between grille and rad support is deeper on the Camaro than Nova, plus I had to fit AC condenser.

My only wish is that the LSA was louder. Not enough whine, imo.

I haven't done anything with the car since the snow started flying here in NY. I've been planning out some smaller projects for this winter and found a few good deals on Black Friday.

I'll start by saying a big thank you to EBC brakes! I entered a raffle on Camaros.net, and they picked me for a free set of front brake pads! They let me pick what I wanted so I went with the Red Stuff pads for my C6 Z51 brakes. Should make a difference with stopping power and they are supposed to have almost zero brake dust.





This year I'm not planning on doing any big projects like last year; full engine rebuild, engine swap, trans rebuild, supercharger swap to name a few...

One thing that did bother me last year was that my rear gears are too short now with the supercharger. After a lot of thought and calculations, I decided that I need a 3.42 rear gear instead of the 4.11's I'm running now. I need to get something taller, but unfortunately for me I opted for a 4 series carrier rather than the 3 series when I first built the rear diff. So that means that along with gears I also needed to buy a new carrier. I've only used a posi unit with clutches, but decided that this time I'd like to try a gear type carrier. While searching around for my options I found that for a few dollars more I could get an carrier with 33 splines. So what started as a gear swap, turned into a full upgrade. I bought a 33 spline Eaton TrueTrac, Richmond 3.42 gears, Timken master rebuild kit and a pair of Yukon direct replacement 33 spline axles.







When I built my rear differential originally, I really wanted a TA cover but opted for the stock one due to my lack of budget. Since I was going to have the cover off anyway, I decided now was the time.



The gear swap should only take a few weekends to finish, and I'll have to take my break in period in the spring.

They haven't shipped yet, but I also picked up a set of DSE frame connectors for a really good price on Monday. That will be a much more involved project, but looks pretty straightforward. I'm going to take my time to ensure that my fitment is spot on. I've decided that I'm going to stick with my stock wheel tubs and figure out how to get it to hook. It may involve a set of 15" wheels and sticky tires.

Cheers,
Ryan

This will be a worthwhile swap. Have you heard any new on if the gears are known quite gear or noisy?

ryeguy2006a

I am running the Excel gears in my car now and they are very quiet. I think it mostly depends on how they are set up an initial break in.

3.42s prob make more sense, current combo and 4.10s I'm guessing are pretty hard to hook on the street.
