worded perfectly, i want to fall under the category of "smart idiot" instead of just buying a camaro with no sentimental value just because it has a 350 that wont be able to take me aound town without putting gas everytime.

Yup, and the the V6 can be fast(always remember that) It took me about 9 years before I finally had the chance to mod my engine like I did.

And the benifits are so great, a total blast to drive arround town or anywhere. It feels nice to drive arround knowing that I can compete with the other cars on the highway.

Gas mileage is so nice on a V6, I get the same MPG as anyother V6 thirdgen, untill I floor it, which is hard not to do.....

Re: Senior Project Camaro{Completed}
LOL fun cars for sure. The handling on these V6's are so good for being a early 1990's car. Probly helps that the V6's weights less and is more twards the center of the car then a V8

Its good to hear your having a fun time in the cammy!

Re: Senior Project Camaro{Completed}
Dizzy is the item that all of your spark plugs wires are attatched to. Take a light and look for oil behind it. There is a little valley in the block next to the dizzy that will have oil in it if your o-ring is leaking. You can miss it just look arround the dizzy.

well im 27, but i feel older then that..

I thought of useing some velcro, just a little square of it. That would be cool come racing season.

Im using tunerpro Rt, its some tuning software. I can watch, record, and make tuning to the ECM on the car. Also theres a Air Fuel Ratio guage thats mounted under the dash. The green numbers that are flashing.

Im not sure what vac line you guys use, but I used the brake booster vacume line in the past. Thats the big one off of the back on the intake manifold. You just have to let it slowly suck the stuff in or the car will probly stall out.

You cleaned up that tranny nice! Wana come out and get mine looking like that? Ill burn you off a nice chip to help your car go faster!! Better then those rip off hypertech ones that places sell.

Any car can benifit from a tuned chip! And its a great investment as the hardware will work with all obd1 (all thirdgens). So if you ever get another car a V8 camaro or whatever, as long as it has a onboard diagnostic system It will work. Its not too exspencive. I just like that I can change basically anything that the car does. Fueling, spark, speed limits, the launch mode, the fan on/off temp, and many more things that will help the car get better MPG's, better power, and if you do mods to the motor you can get the most out of the mod.

I burn chips with a chip burner... I just take a chip and put into the hardware and there ya go. Im not sure what some ppl charge to burn chips for our cars as most tuners wont touch a OBD1 ecm. Thats why I just learned how to do it myself. Total cost of all the equiptment to do it was under 200 bucks and now I can burn chips as much as I want.

The time it took to learn the stuff took some time as im still a newbe at tuning but I can definitly work on the non-turboed 3.1L bin(stock)files. I was getting really good at that, but the turboed car now is a little more difficult to tune as the hardest part is tunning for Wide Open Throttle.

$0.00. free, you just buy the stuff to put it in your car and the chip itself. So if you ever want me to burn one let me know

At the bare minumum youd need this and it so easy to install. Ill take a very in depth video if you want on how to put this on your car.

http://www.moates.net/gp1-package-gm....html?cPath=64

And it would also be nice if you got this cable, so you could go drive your car, record the data and then you could message me a file on what the car was doing(in a file) Its not as hard as you think as Id be the one interpreting the data and then Id send you a chip that youd put back in the car.
http://aldlcables.com/sc/details.asp?item=aldlobd1u

But if you could only afford so much then youd atleast need the first link that i put on here, but i could only tune so much as I need to be able to see the info, via, the aldl cable to get the best tune possible. And I could definitly get you better MPG overall. After tuning mine i saw a 8Mpg difference, which is alot these days on such a old car.

if you ever want to really mod the car, or are keeping it for a bit. Get the 2nd link. The ALDL cable. Then you can hook your lap top up to it. It is about 50 bucks i think. Well worth the $

yea, its been decided that im NOT EVER going to sell the car, just mod it and work on it till the engine is done, but my engine will last.

i will try to start on ordering it. my CAI gets here on the 3rd so im waiting impatiently haha.

Ok i also forgot to mention this, lately while im in 2 and 3rd around like 3000 RPMS my clutch seems to make a weird sound, like a loud ZZZZZZZ untill i get to higher RPMS or shift, is something in my tranny or did it break?

Your not hooking up the MAF sensor are you?? You DONT need to do that as your car has a MAP sensor instead. I had a MAF pipe on mine but it was gutted and no MAF sensor was in the pipe.

Did you extend your Intake Air Tempeture sensor to that new box?? If so then just leave it the way it is in the picture and you'll be good!

Lookin good though bro. You got a good deal for 58 bucks with filters
