Pile of Junk- my beater nitrous car
 
I'm bored so I thought I would post up a little of my latest project car. It is a 1997 30th anniversary Camaro. Started life as a v6 car. Its a hard top with manual windows/locks/trunk everything. Over the past few months I've turned it into what some may call a "sleeper". The paint is god awefully faded, and it still has the RS ground effects on it. Basically its a full LS1/t56 swap from a 98 SS car. all the harnesses were also swapped over to make it all plug and play. I also installed all the AC components for that to work properly. Long story short, the radiator sprung a leak in July and ended up overheating. So while I was checking it out I made some upgrades. All the performance parts were stuff I had laying around or i bought used accept the converter and a few other small things. Car consists of:

98 LS1 shortblock
853 heads with prc dual springs- used off last car
224/230 114lsa cam- BTR overstock score
used LS6 intake
Ebay Head studs
used pacesetter LT's and ORY
used corsa catback
Frankinstein nitrous kit

Fresh VA speed built TH350 FMVB- local forum score for 500 bucks
FTI billet 9.5" 3600 nitrous stall (purchased new)
loaner driveshaft

295/55/16 MT radials on stock wheels

some pics of it (credit to my friend who has mad photoshop skills!)

Looks like a sweet build. What size of shot are you running?

Nice sleeper

Salad Shooters = Sleeper Look. Nice build! "Fuck all the flash, I just want to go fast." (Rise of the Phoenix)

Awesome car! I do like the sleeper look of keeping the factory wheels.

It has a .99 jet in the plate, however the line itself will only flow 160-170ish rwhp. the jet is more/less to seal the line.

WheelsUp84z 11-15-2013 05:17 PM

Made it to my buddy's shop and got the tube dialed in. 93 pump gas, pullin fuel fron the rail. .070 jet on the nitrous side and 22* of timing. This was on a dynocom eddy current dyno. As much as wanted to open flow the kit with a .99 jet i didnt want to risk blowing it up, car club has a track event tonorrow and figures id make it to that and then crank it up.

Nice looking build. I've had my car for 6 years and besides a set of chrome zr-1s mine looks as stock as it rolled off the assembly line. Sleeper FTW!!!!

cnichols 11-16-2013 06:46 PM

If you're so bored, I would appreciate it if you would send the T-56 that I paid for months ago. A response would be nice as well.

Thanks for the comment in my thread.

nice sleeper

WheelsUp84z 11-17-2013 07:36 AM

Unfortunately the lack of suspension on the car kept me from a 10 sec pass yesterday, mad 4 runs total. Need to get a 2600 or 2800 pill for the window switch, cant get it to spray out of the hole the way it sits with a 3000 pill in there.
Motor pass

12.55@109

Nice little thread you got here.

WheelsUp84z 11-22-2013 07:57 PM

Got an new RPM module to get it to spray off the line, car leaves like a turd with the tight nitrous converter, and only 344hp i cant get it to flash to 3000 rpms where the window switch is set at. Going to make some test hits going down 100 rpm's at a time.

I was only able to find one pic from the track event, you can see how bad the faded paint really is in this one! There is only once crappy cell phone video that was taken of the car too.

flattusmaximus78 11-23-2013 09:26 AM

I love this thread. I need to spray my car. I have a tight nitrous converter too and the converter doesn't hit hard at all. Spray will flash it1

I wouldn't need to comment in your thread if you responded to e-mails or private messages. I never received this nor pics of it crated up and at fedex...only of you attempting to remove it. Please e-mail me back or PM me so we can resolve this matter. You now have a PM with this info in case you did not already have it.

Edit: Interesting that you've decided to refuse to accept private messages from me...I would really appreciate it if you would at least respond directly to me in a PM or e-mail and let me know if this was shipped to the wrong person or give me any idea why I haven't received it so we can stop doing this publicly, but I really had no choice.
