Re: December COTM **WINNER**

Great job on that one :-) I see that your running an LS7 clutch on yours, I´m planning on doing the same on mine too. How do you like it? What others clutch related things are you using? I´m having soooo much clutch trouble on mine. Stock LS2/T56 with tick master and 4:th gen pedals.
Did you do all the carbon fibre work yourself? Looks great

Where can I get this carbon Fiber grill? I've seen it on the web a few times and I love the look.

Re: December COTM **WINNER**

As far as my own personal tastes go, this is possibly one of the finest Camaros I know off, 3rd gen or otherwise.
Given a choice, that's how I'd like to build my own (albeit a Spoort Coupe). Supercharged LS, tubbed with factory interior, 29 mpg....
Well done.

Depends on the kit you choose, but I have a feeling it will not clear the stock hood. Most likely the blower itself will clear but the TB won't.

Powertrain:

GM factory crate LS1
D&D performance Tremec T56
LS7 clutch
Hawks stainless 1 3/4" longtubes with 3" collectors
Speartech harness
Walbro 255 with hotwire
Custom fabbed y pipe into GM factory 4th gen cat back
Magnacharger MP112 GTO kit
Fully functioning A/C


Suspension:
Koni Red adjustable front struts rear shocks
Factory cut IROC springs front
QA1 2.5" diameter 150# springs rear
Wolfe racecraft adjustable spring perches rear
Spohn adjustable torque arm
Custom fabricated rear offset lower control arms
Spohn adjustable panhard bar
Spohn lower control arm relocation brackets


Body:

Custom fabricated mini tubs fully concealed under factory plastics
Alston Subframe connectors
Mostly factory GM paint with minor touch-ups
Fog light delete
Body side moldings delete
IROC stripe delete
New GM IROC decals
Di-Noc wrapped front grille and hood louvers
Polished taillights with all red lenses
Fully stripped and repainted underside of car GM white

Wheel and Tires:
New Gen custom one-off 3 piece forged deep concave 18x9 Front 18x12 Rear
Wheels feature hidden hardware
Toyo R888 265/35/18 Front 335/30/18 Rear

Rear end:

Moser Ford 9" rear housing
Iron center section with Ford Trac-loc posi
Motive 4:11 gears
3" chromoly driveshaft

Brakes:
Front/rear 12" LS1 brakes with slotted and drilled zinc washed rotors
Stainless lines
LS1 Master cylinder

Interior:

Switched from factory gray interior to all black
4thgen Trans Am leather seats front/rear with inflatable side bolsters and lumbar
Custom made door panels
White face gauge overlay
Dual A piller pod
Zeitronix wideband
Hurst billet plus shifter
Hurst pistol grip
Lou's short stick
Grant steering wheel
ACC carpet
All new GM weatherstripping

Performance wise it makes 440/441 to the rear tire. I was really happy with those numbers being how I have never even had a valve cover off the engine since I installed it fresh from the crate. The blower is set-up to 6psi right now. The car still idles like stock and you'd never know there was a blower on it until you get into it hard. It still pulls down 29mpg on the highway. My goal with this car was to be dead nuts reliable and drive as much like a factory car as possible.









This was the engine bay before I put on the Magnacharger



And this is what it looks like now. It was prettier before but I think all the added power makes it worth it...lol





Here's the 9" after I assembled it and before going under the car.
