Guess I could scan my 94 GM catalog but maybe that seems redundant??

iTrader: (3)

I know they made the T-Ram, a CAI for MAf and SD, headers, and their own runners. Is their anything else? Thanks

I remember 1 & 5/8 and 1 & 3/4 headers for dual and single cats.
Header install kits (w/ modded AC bracket)

TB air foil.

They closed out the Firehawk conversion parts (bellhousing and ?)

I really don't know that a single-year catalogue will cover it.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

I sent him my SLP/summit 89, 93 and 94 catalogs.. I would like to find out if there is one from every year and when they started and finished the real SLP stuff

Tuned Performance

iTrader: (92)

Just curious did summit sell the slp performance memcals. Would be interesting to look at the .bin's

cIaRmOaCrZo

they made cold air kits as well. believe they are discontinued though

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

SLP sold the "chips" for their 50 state legal packages and they SUCK.
I had one for my 89car when I got my kit thru summit in 92-3, it ran waaay SLOWER than the stock chip and had a 5,000rpm redline.. I also have one in my 92 bird but haven't had a chance to test it.
I have heard they just used the vet timing and colder fan settings but I'm not 100% sure.

SLP made the best cold air kits bar none.

They used to make a 4" MAF sensor for the cars as well.

iTrader: (8)

The Maf is in my 89 SLP catalog.
Along with the correct factory looking bellows and a harness/converter box to adapt the two.
Its a BOSCH meter from a 928 Porsche. I think its 93mm and ours are 77mm ???

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

Yes, they made it all. I hav 4 of those catbacks and like them a lot. They are very close to your banks kit .

banksGTA

iTrader: (3)

Damn you have a nice collection, i have the headers, runners, airfoil, and the CAI for maf, but i would like to get the rest but its rare they come up for sale although my banks system is pretty hard to come by also.

That short ram intake is pretty neat! Kind of the same as a HSR except all welded up. Don't think I ever seen one shown on here yet.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

That short ram was 1st made in 86 maybe 87 ish thru the early 90s??
Wrap your head around that 4 a min and think how much Mustang butt we could have been kicking back then if GM woulda put that on our cars!!

banksGTA

iTrader: (3)

Lol, that was before my time but they would still kicking butt now. Has anyone seen one in person asi tried to search for it and no luck?

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

Incredible. I had no idea SLP made so much products for our 3rd Gens.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

Yup, If i remember correctly they started making and testing their parts around 1986ish, weeell before they went to GM and said we have a 50 state legal package we want to sell thru you with your blessing. ??? someone correct me if I'm wrong??

banksGTA

iTrader: (3)

Wouldnt it be nice to know what ya know now lol, and had stocked piled these parts.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

I tried to back then but I was broke most of the time from the good ole party days..
Do you have a pic of your banks muffler?
I know SLP wen thru atleast 4 different designs on their muffler and 3-4 different tips.
Looking at the muffler in the catalog its waay different than anythiing Ive ever seen in person...
It might be what was on my 92 formula orginally.

i currently have slp's cold air intake on my car... love the product and stockish look.. i also had their runners before i went to the first intake...

DiabloWS6

iTrader: (8)

I say we all sign some sort of petition so slp can re-produce these parts for our third gens they would make so much bank if they did...I actually sent them an email stating the same thing but they said they couldn't do nothing about it, I would like to talk to the main head of the company and have a nice talk about the parts for our cars our gen is the most hated on and performance parts are very few if anyone agrees with me lets make a move and do something about this and get a plan going

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

I'm with you on the petition. I bought a set of SLP runner for $290!!!!! So my guess is that maby SLP is about done with our agin 3rd gens.

iTrader: (4)

In 2008, at the Camaro Gathering at Indy, we had a little presentation by David Hamburger from SLP. Someone asked him if we could expect any parts to ever be available for 3rd gens again. He tersely, (almost rudely) replied, "No! We won't ever offer anything for 3rd gens again".

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

Well David Hamberger can sniff my tailpipe.

blacksunshine'91

iTrader: (10)

The only petition they would pay attention to is on Paypal if you get my drift.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Yeah, I really didn't appreciate his attitude on 3rd gens. Especially, considering that 3rd gens put SLP on the map for his father.

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

Uuhhhhh. So this Hamberger guy is the owner/CEO? That guy has some nerve.

DiabloWS6

iTrader: (8)

Thats sad to hear I am a die hard slp fan and a lingenfelter fan I think you would expect a better response from the lingenfelter brand

DiabloWS6

iTrader: (8)

It makes me love my thirdgen even more even though they are the most hated gen

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

And almost bankrupted him/them. If it wasn't for "the alledged fire" it may well have.

I understand why they wont release parts again but its sad they won't.
Just have a look around on the boards and see how many complain that the part dosen't 100% fit their car and or how much the stuff costs. (look at all the unnecessary bashing of Hawks) If you thought it was pricey then, just imagine what it would all cost to make today. The 50HP smog legal kit would prolly cost more than most of these cars are worth these days.
From what I understand they would have to redo 99% of the product line from the ground up and that alone would cost a buttload.
Its a shame really.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I get that it might not be a good business proposition for him, I just didn't like his condecending attitude about it. He could have said, something like: "Although we appreciate the support we have gotten from the 3rd gen community, we have decided to go in a different direction". Instead, he pretty much pee'd all over the 3rd gen community.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

Oh I agree with you 100%.
I talked to both Ed and Dave at SEMA a few years ago and they were a bit more laid back about the whole thing.
Everyone has a bad day. Maybe it was his day? Maybe I spoke with them on a very good day?? Who knows..
I'm sloowly trying to gather a bunch of parts to reproduce (with some improvements) but who knows how far I'll get.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Hey, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Good luck with the reproductions. Definitely keep us in the loop.

Chevy86 IROC-Z

iTrader: (17)

TTOP350. What do you mean by reproduce the parts? As in build and fabricate the parts yourself? I think that's a cool idea. Maby you can redo the SLP runners and remove the large indenting where the side bolts mount.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

Its just a rapidly growing Idea I've had for a few years.
I'd like to redo the 1st design of the SLP runners (no longer made), with some nice improvements and offer a set with a lil different design also.
Cold air kits of course and a few other things. We shall see.

ninetyone

iTrader: (2)

nah, the Vette timing would have been way too aggressive. They probably just raised the timing in certain areas a few degrees or so,but if your car has the timing manually raised already by having advanced the distributor, then sometimes you are more likely to have too much timing advance and you may run slower.

I love how their air intake kit has a vane inside of it to eliminate turbulence, yet all tehse new snake oil devices have vanes in them to increase turbulence.

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

With all aftermarket chips I've ever tried, I always put the timing to stock and the car sloooowed down.
I never have run bumped base timing and a aftermarket chip.
I put the stock 350 chip in, bump timing, do my magic () and my car would pickup and give a quicker ET..

I'd love to find a 2,000 mile black ttop 89 formula 350.. I would llike to do a complete story on it to show the things that do and don't work.

Early one's were nice, like hand built aluminum ones. Later ones were store bought Walkers

TTOP350

iTrader: (8)

The ones in the 89 catalog look like a factory or walker aluminum coated rolled and crimped edge muffler. Those were some of the very 1st types and used a neat looking oval tips that were die formed right on the tailpipe.
Then SLP went to a hand/machine formed welded muffler that was made from stainless and butt welded around the edge. I have seen 2 different designs of this muffler, oval flat sided muffler and a oval simple peak sided muffler.
All the hand built stainless mufflers I have seen have been center 3" in and center dual 2 1/2 out. The very early (factory looking) stuff had a offset 3" in and dual 2 1/2 offset out.
