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.

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.
