Congrats man! Just saw that.

 

That's awesome, congrats!

 

Pat is thoroughly pleased.
<-----^

 

Who's got one of the sexiest IROC-Z's ever..... ^--- That guy!

Congrats bruhhh!

 

Just read this and all can say is WOW!!

The wife has been bugging me to keep my TPI intake and now I think I will.

 

Few small updates.....



17" Race star wheels installed and ready........

26"x11.5 ET streets in the rear and 225/50r17 in the front.






Added a meth kit(all hidden except for the tank and line going into the elbow, of course)


Working on tuning still. Leaned it out a little as the new fuel filter made it rich everywhere under boost. In the low/mid 11's under boost with the meth. I think we are closing on the tune pretty good at this point. Few small issues, but ironing them out one at a time...





No pictures, BUT Dentfix has a Harwood cowl hood he is setting up for me. I can't wait to get rid of this hood and go to a regular 2 1/2" cowl.

 

Man, it looks wicked with those wheels!

I think I like those better then the mesh style.

 

Sick man! Gives the car split personalities now depending on what shoes it's wearing!

 

those wheels are perfect for that car. much better than the multispokes.

 

Thanks....... I love the wheels, but still love my Autoarts as well.,..

 

Watch out telling people you have a meth kit. Some tweakers might try and break in and steal it!

 

Autoarts FTW!!!!

 

Looking good.

Out of interest what is the tread depth of those ET Streets when new?

 

I'm not sure. I can measure them tonight for you....



I don't think I'd really call it "tread" though, LOL

 

I'd appreciate that. I'm trying to see how legal they would be in the UK.

 

I think they list the tread depths on Mickey thompsons site for all thier tires.

 

Sure do have a lot going on under that hood! Looks good though!

 

Sorry, forgot to measure the tread, but found the should be 6/32.


Under my hood is really simple. Well, mostly. Check out the overall pictures. I can get to anything under there rather quickly.

Sorry for it being dirty in the pictures

 

I just bought this magazine last week! Could've saved myself the money if I knew you had a thread

I'm glad I've seen this though. It's given me complete inspiration for what I want to do to my car!

 

First pass


7.2@102 1.87 60'

bogged, forgot to shift to 4th(comes so quick) and meth was INOP.


Should be an easy 6 second car at 105. Going back to the dyno after I fix the broken DS from the next pass. I got the meth ironed out as well, so a full tune on that should get me some more gains!

 

Yikes!
Hope that broke on the line!
Car has sure come a long way. Defiantly looking **** man.

 

N1CE

 

Was the bog something you did or something in the tune? Did you log the run?

Sounds really good!

 

Thanks yall...

I let off as it was starting to spin.... You can slightly hear it n the video.


I did log it, but its useless as the meth wasn't working. Going to get that tuned in on it this week...

Want 6.60s @105 plus!

 

You should get a F.I.R.S.T intake...if they ever make them again...

 

I know...... A small part of me wants to stay TPI, but shifting at 6000 is horrible. The motor is pulling SO hard then it just levels out!

 

Are you serious? The Camaro's chokes itself out at high Rpms?

 

Listen to the video.... In third gear you can hear where I "forgot" to shift and it started breaking up(or stopped pulling)

 

Yup. Sounded like you hit a kill switch.

 

Same passes from my gopro.

First pass was the best.... I need a better burnout!


7.2 @102

Second spun through 1 and 2, but stayed in it...

 

Well. No real updates except for the fact I have twisted two aluminum driveshafts, so I finally got a steel Fleetpride one from Paul. Put it in my car and it turns out it is out of balance pretty badly and had to send it BACK to Fleetpride for another $120 worth of work.

The meth is tuned in and on point, so that is all good. Still no power after 6000, but it is a TPI intake.


Plans are to run at Dragging Rights in November. Hoping for some 10s at DR and then going to swap to a single plane intake.......so, if anyone has any single plane SBC parts for sale, let me know. I'm going to start gathering them now!

 

New best. Still tpi. Weighs 3500 without me!

1.55 60'
6.84 1/8
103.4 mph

Pretty pleased! !!

Sorry gopro was dead. I hope to run deep in the 10s soon once i hit a 1/4 mile track.

Then its dyno time to see what exactly the car is making and start my single plane swap

 

Sweet!

10.5@134!

 

What happened to your chin spoiler?

 

It's removable.....

 

Looks good and fast as hell too!

How much boost you pushing on that run?

 

Hits 20psi at 6000 RPM.


After that it goes haywire. I am thinking it's valve springs. I am going to try and get some better valve springs on and shoot for even lower times!

 

Is that backfire that I hear in the video?

 

Yes...due to being supercharged and so much boost it pops between shifts since the throttle closes totally for a split second.....

 

Nice!

 

What do u do for a living. Its only about 5 3rd gens that had this much work done to it. I know u got a deal in parts and u sold other parts.

 

I'm just an insurance agent.

I have acquired a lot of parts over the years and will save to do something right instead of over and over

 

exactly , Trade some parts here n there for what ya want. Buy some here and there. Spend a few years building it right the 1 , 2 , 3 rd time.

 

Wow. I must say you have build one hell of a machine. You took something that was ok, maybe even good to start with and made a monster! Beautiful ride. So when are you hitting the Dyno again to get some numbers?

 

A few more changes and we will see what it does.

Keeping TPI to run 9's with a stick TPI!

 

That is one nice machine you have there. Congrats and keep up the good work.

I too second your philosophy (although I learned the hard way). I used to try to take the cheap way out. But it ended up costing more and taking longer.

Buy once, Cry once.

 

Congratulations! Awesome Iroc. Fastest tpi Camaro I've seen.


Do you have any pictures of your headers? I'm curious to see how you got long tubes to fit with t56 external slave.
