Default Short intro video

Last Saturday night I saw westtexasbuff standing near my car with his camera. Next night this "mysteriously" popped up on the local board.

He just threw this together on very little footage and spent just a few minutes editing. He said he was messing around with some new software features. Not up to the quality of his normal efforts, but he said he didn't mind me posting it.

Thanks Larry!

In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't build it. In fact, I bought it from a member here who is getting out of racing. It's a little cleaner and a little more shiny since it arrived in my garage, but I didn't do the build. EPP, Finish Line in Naperville, and Modern Muscle did the transformation in 2008. The build was mostly performed by EPP, but the other two did some specific installs/add ons.

However, I do have a couple parts for it already! Can't leave well enough alone. ;P

Want to get a dyno and track baseline before I start spinning wrenches.

Thanks! I think it's right about 550 RWHP. Have a smaller pulley for the head unit and matching belt sitting in a box.

Waiting for October so it no longer feels like Africa here. I'll take it to the track a couple times this fall and then raise the boost. Want to see what it does on 8 psi before I go to ~10 psi.

Sounds great man! That car is very clean, though you seem to have a thing for silver procharged camaros.
I still need to come by and check that baby out sometime.

I need to get back under mine and finish moving the intercooler so I can get it back out with a heavier foot.

Thanks Aster. Hurry up and get yours ready to rumble.

The other Procharged car is actually pewter, but close enough.

Camaro 6 is getting an AJE K member and A-arms. They just arrived Wednesday.
