Default $5,000 H/C/I/E swap. Parts only! Lots of pics!

Just finished tearing up my buddy's BONE stock '02 SLP SS Camaro. We went with AFR 205 heads, 224/228 custom ground cam, FAST90/PTM90, PS LT's & ORY, oil pump, timing chain, PR's, and motor mounts. There are also many appearance mods under the engine bay as well! Here's the pics:




















I powdercoated just about everything under this hood. You'll also notice the fuse panel covers/PCM covers/master cyl covers from speacialized stainless are there all powdercoated in my garage. When I say everything was PC'd I mean just about EVERYTHING!: MAF, VC's, coil brackets, HL brackets, WP, timing cover, PS cooler and probably a whole lot of others I missed. Hope you like the pictures! Haven't had a chance to tune the car yet but numbers will be in soon. Even without a tune, this car screams from idle all the way to the rev limiter! Numbers to come soon!

We want better pics. More pics. Really, post up some pics with better lighting. We cannot appreciate the black powdercoating w/o good lighting.

Nice setup. Should be a fun car to drive after all those upgrades, and looks good too.
