Looks like a lot of fun, gotta love the first time you fire an engine and then even better first time you get to go drive it. Did everything seem to work well, or got anything you have to work on besides maybe some tuning.

 

there is some problem with the brakes, but besides that everything works and runs pretty good. that motor hadent been fired in a year and it runs great, nice and healthy, that cam is really nice too

 

Awesome Joe. Car sounds GOOOOOD.....

thanks mike, this car fricken screams. i cant wait to see what it does with a tune. its so weird, this was my first camaro, and riding in it now is just so much different, its not the same car at all anymore. my dad is probly gonna get it tuned by wong soon and he is pretty anxious to take it to the track

 

looks like we might take it to the track this weekend with my drag radials.

 

Cool man. I'm going to predict a 12.5-12.7 @ 116-117mph on that setup.

If things go well this week, I could be doing some shakedown passes in the black car on Friday night.

Mike

 

i think low 12's on dr's. nice well we should just plan on going the same night or somethin, phil said he will probly go too. hows the car runnin?

 

Well, I think that car/engine is capable of a low 12 at a good track, but we're talking about PIR here..... Add a half a second to whatever the car should run and that will be your PIR timeslip lol.....

Car's getting tuned sometime this week and I'm in the middle of tying up some loose ends. Need to bleed the clutch, bleed the brakes, install 2-step, and mount the tachometer.

Mike

 

thats a good point, it seems like every car runs slow at pir. i bet it feels good to have the black car going again, so you dide end up getting the 2 step, thats awesome you should get some good launches. everything just got finished on the blue car it just needs a tune now. do you think it would be unwise to run the car without a tune? i guess tsp said "no tuning required on the 228R"

 

it looks like the timing is off quite a bit on the cam, thats why its such a

 

Here is a video of one of the first runs that he did last night. It was nice to meet you guys last night.

Well for one his takeoff was poo and then pingin the rev limiter in first doesnt help either lol. What was that 60' time?

 

his best 60ft was 2.1, there is room for improvment on his launches

 

I saw that car there, didn't connect the dots though, lol
