Default Newbie: let the hazing begin.

my name is matt, ive had many 3rd gen camaros and was just starting a build on a 89 for x275dr class, but i found a 4th gen i like better. i havent got the car yet but i should within the week.

my current race car isint a car at all its a 82 s10. full interior. with a 010 stock block and no hard block its went 8.89 at 152, shooting for 8.30s this yr with the new dart block and ability to run more than 15lbs.


i also have a 89 s10 blazer 2wd 2dr. with my old nos motor that went 9.90s in the s10 at 3500lb. blazer is heavier so proably will go 10.30s or so when finished, needs a 9" and stronger drive shaft.




also my current daily driver is a 97 yukon 4x4 lifted, and my wife drives my 2001 tahoe 4x4. the camaro will be my new daily driver. im looking for any low miles mostly stock 6spds with full options. below 15000.

so far the plan is to leave it stock and drive it daily to get more mileage than my 8mph yukon. then down the road a 91mm and some power. duno if i can get the t56 to hold the power at that level. may try smaller turbo first like a 76mm. duno yet.

here are some pics guys. ive looked all over it and cant find a flaw. i think i love it. its my first ls1 car and u know what proably wont be the last. may look for one to make fast. wana keep this one nice stock and great gas mileage.






the only thing i may do is headers, full exh so its not so quiet, new plugs, a overall checkup, and maybe a lid and k&n filter! what long tube would be the best fit ease of install and durability +power. also what y pipe x pipe and full exh. want a nice sound but dont need a 4" exh or nothing like that.
