Default My 95 Z28

I Traded my 98 Dodge Ram About 4-5 Months ago For My 95 Camaro Z28.
Im 15, So My Budget Was Obviously Low.
So for X-mas and My B-Day i asked for no presents and just some $, So i could Mod my Car to My Likings.
Since iv'e Always Been Around High Performance Cars, Boats, Ect... I Wanted My Car To Have Some Power.
Heres A Pic Of The Car:





I Started With Some Of The Simple Bolt Ons:





Then i Went On To More Of The Performance Stuff:
















The Cam Is A CC306, Lifters are Replacements, CC Hardend Pushrods, ARR RollerRocker's, Crane Springs...
My Next Mod Will Be To Send The Heads To Lyod Elliot For Some Porting.
For Now My Goals:
Make Around 350-370RWHP (Stock Heads) After Dyno Tune.
And Run In The 12.5-12.8 Range.

Take a look at the water pump, and opti while your in there. If they are originial/worn/otherwise fudged up, change them. Save yourself major time and trouble.

Nice car and setup. We need more kids like you getting into the hobby.

Also, you probably all ready know this but if the car is auto you will want a stall, and something lower than 273 gears if you have them.
