On a mission and won't stop
I've decided my next goal is to get my car on the front cover of a major magazine IE Camaro Performers, Super Chevy or GM High Performance to name a few. Any one of those would do.
These are my current list of mods. Some are on the way to the house. Some will be purchased this up coming week. Hopefully tomorrow.
Anyone here ever get their car on the front cover of a magazine? I knew a guy back in my old hot rod circles that did but I no longer have his info. Just curious because I'd like some pointers on accomplishing this goal. I will have to edit this list because I know Ive forgotten some things, but between my sig and this list, this about covers it
**Stars indicate its already been purchased**
- Yank torque converter 3200**
- Eagle rotating assembly (forged)
- 88-92 camaro serpentine setup**
- D1SC procharger**
- LED sequential turn signals**
- Comp cam 224/236 113 lobe sep
- Tune
- Kennwood 6X9's**
- kicker 4x6's**
- Kenwood double din nav/dvd/cd/rear camera (Kenwood DNN770HD) **
- Grant steering wheel (challenger)**
- Projector head lights (black)**
- Stealth Ram (intake)**
- Baer 4 track brake system**
- Milwood cross drilled/slotted 4 piston 12.19inch (rear)**
- Holley 58mm throttle body**
- Zex wet kit 75-100 shot (custom painted bottle to match car)**
- MSD 6AL**
- Brake light LED**
- new parking lights**
- Nitrous purge dual nozzles**
- Eaton Detroit Truetrac differential**
- Strange 3.73 gears**
- Moser forged 28 spline axles**

Re: On a mission and won't stop
285s or 295s in the back. I forget and Im too lazy to go look. I do know that I went with the biggest side profile that I could for that wheel and tire. Its a 18 inch wheel. The taller side wall makes the tire look bigger and perform better too. Ill never go back to low profiles.
Thanks btw
your black vert is sharp too.

Re: On a mission and won't stop
This along with the trans cooler came in today. I dropped them and the 700R4 off today as well. They're suppose to be upgrading all the goodies and Ill have a list of what exactly is going in very soon. But from what they said, my car wont be able to out-do the transmission when they're done with it. When I told him 500hp he laughed

Re: On a mission and won't stop
Tracking numbers claims my D-1SC comes to the house this coming Wednesday. Just about every day parts I've ordered off my list are trickling in and its exciting. Monday I go pick up my completely built (high performance built) 700R4
I'm curious to exactly what numbers they will come up with on the cam since it will be a Super charger style cam. I came up with some off COMP Cams website but I really need to call them because their build sheet was semi generic though the suggested cams were still pretty good.
