Listen to this... 2007 - Bought my first 02 LS1 Convertible DMB Camaro Automatic. Had a blast with it for a few years, thanks to the folks on LS1tech.
2012 - Motorcycle accident - 244 days in a coma. Post traumatic amnesia. Forgot I owned a Camaro.
2023 - Saw an old photo of my Camaro and realized that it's been in storage for about 9 years but couldn't remember where.
2024 - Jan 5th, found my car about 60 miles east of NY in a buddies shed.
Had to create a new username as I don't recall my old email address ( I wonder if there's a way to retrieve my old account on ls1tech, ADMIN HELP? I'd love to refresh my memories with my old posts). The point is, I'M BACK. After forgetting everything I read on here, I feel foreign to my own car. It's time to inject some money into this bad boy and make-up all the fun I lost. Help me out with some good recommendations please!
Here's my current setup:
MTI Clearlid (I remember selling these on LS1tech and doing bulk discounts through MTI... damn)
DMH e-cutout
Long tubes + Ypipe
Ported/Polished TB
Smooth bellow
GMMG Exhaust
Things I've purchased this week (still shipping)
ls6 intake (Like a DUMMY I didn't know 01+ camaros came stock with Ls6) It came with 48lb injectors. Is that what my stock has?
B&M 24000 GVW Transmission Cooler
TSP LS Rear Main Seal
BTR CAMSHAFT - LS1/LS2 - N/A STAGE 3 + GASKET KIT + Retainer plate/bolts
BRIAN TOOLEY RACING .645" SPRING KIT - STEEL RETAINER
BTR Chromoly One-Piece Pushrods; 7.400" Long, 5/16" Diameter, .080"
BTR PREMIUM LS & LT ROCKER ARM TRUNNION
Yank SS3600
Koni sport shocks, UMI upper and lower control arms
My goal is to just get in this damn car and have fun. I don't need a weekend godzilla warrior car. It'll be driven in the summer, maybe every other weekend. Drive ability is important as I'm in NYC, so cruising low speeds + traffic is typical. I definitely do want to go out and make some noise with the car, but pulling good #'s isn't important at all. It'll never see the track. May you kind, lovely, knowledgeable folks recommend me ANYTHING to this vehicle? When I called BTR for the cam, he had convinced me not to do Heads. I'm all ears and open to suggestions. Money isn't an issue, I'd like to dump some money into the car. I feel like I'm investing in my lost memories, haha.
My stock sound system is garbage. I'd love some .02 on a system + headunit.

Haha, I knew that'd get attention. He moved out of his parents house where the car was parked. He dropped off the keys to my parents house and told them to give it to me (left no address) . Then, boom, crash, pow, my hard drive is deleted.
