Good evening everyone, I look forward learning as much possible to improve the performance of my SS. I have a 35th Edition that I bought with 9 miles, now having over 105K. Currently have a new set of heads, cam, fast intake, and headers installed. I dont have the complete specs on the heads and cam with me now, but can post soon. Also have subframe connectors and a strut tower brace going to add. I live in Sharpsburg MD and work in DC. Hope to be going to the track soon with the car. In 02 I took the car when it was stock to a track in Fayetteville, NC and ran 13.1 at 107. So look forward to breaking into the twelves and hopefully sometime into the elevens.

Welcome! I am in Northern Virginia (Falls Church). I had a 2002 Camaro SS, but I just traded it in on a 2008 Corvette with a LS3.

P.S. I have some 10-spoke SS wheels and winter tires plus other parts from my SS for sale locally, so check out my other posts if interested.

I live in germantown. 270 isnt bad in the mornings or evenings at 6am and 3pm when i am going to work and back home. Luckily i only have to go from germantown to Derwood and back! Did you ever go to the big hangout at the McD's and shoppers on great seneca at night? They were there every single night for a couple years.
