Default Hello from Albuquerque

Just wanted to introduce myself to the Forum. I bought a 95' Medium Quasar Blue Z-28 2 weeks ago from one of my neighbors. I have always liked the Camaro's in this color. They were looking at trading it in because they had problems with it sputtering and loosing power every once in awhile. They took it to the "stealer" a couple of times which cost them $800 which didn't solve their problem.

I still wanted the car, so they sold it to me for a great price. I performed a fuel pressure test on it and it was only getting 16psi. So I ordered a Racetronix plug-n-play setup, installed it and now she is running great. No problems at all. Man what a score!

I have been glued to this forum since I got the car getting educated on my new project car. Forums like these are really helpful to myself, I decided to get my Racetronix setup due to high recommendations from this forum and just bought a set of rotors and pads through a group buy from Wholesale Parts Direct.

Thank you LS1tech!

Hello fellow f body dude! Tech is a great place as you already know. I also have the wholesale direct rotors too, been on the car for about a year. They work awesome.

Hope to see you around.

Cool, I was wanting to check into that. Would like to get a baseline of how it's performing. I am going to change out all the fluids and replace little things that look like their wearing down before I take it out there.

Good to meet you..

Yeah, same here, going to change the oil and clean my K&N on Saturday. Checked the plugs a couple days ago and they look good.

What mods do you have? If you don't already know, the elevation will kill your times. Just an FYI

There's a few of us that get together and hang out, bs, etc. There's no official club or anything though. I think there's going to be a few of us at the strip on sunday, a couple guys' cars are still down, so not sure who will actually be there.

right now the car is completely stock. a gmmg exhaust is on the way. my car is an auto with 3.23's. i've been thinking of going to 3.73's then long tubes and ory pipe. i heard the elevation here takes about one and a half seconds from your times. is that true?
