Cool Let the modding begin! (Dwight)

Hey everyone.

After a long, LONG time of waiting, Dwight (with the purple T/A) finally brought his car into the shop the other day for what we consider a ton of mods

Some of the new goodies include:

Fast Intake and larger TB
Cam
Cometics
AFR Heads
Upgraded valvetrain components
Lashway "Billet-Series" Converter
Gauges
....and more!

Just wanted to post up so everyone could follow the process. Should be straight forward and fun to say the least. We're expecting a serious power increase!

Photos coming soon!

-Lashway

I wish. I have been saving for a while, skipping going out with friends and working lots of extra hours.

That is very smart of u to work hard and skip going out.I have never had a good paying job but have been lucky enough to have 27 Camaro's already because of skipping out on a lot of things also.

I hear ya, Lots of people are telling me to go bigger but this is my DD and I get mad at the stock stall in traffic. I'm crazy like that.

I was going with a 2800 but since the converter I ordered dosen't fit I took it as a sign and went with a 3200.

I can always have it restalled if I need a few more tenths.

I see your plans now and I like them. Around what size are you going on the cam? I just took a little step up on mine with a slight decision change.

We went with a 3200...a bit more BITE. Either way, it would have ridden beautifully.

Ok, back to wrenching on the "Purple" car
