By productive night you mean you old farts were done by 5?

Look better on the car than they do on the floor :smiley: I’m still looking at power brakes, let me know if you know of any floating about at SSBC.

This camaro will take as long as the 2010 camaro to be on the road! Come on joe! i wana race for pinks.

Didn’t anyone ever tell you to repect your elders??:rolljerk:

LOL thank god for Hortons coffee before i got there so i could stay up past 9:00pm

How old do you think we are? My car is older than me.
Late night sessions in the garage are always fun.

Nelnova - Don’t you have an owners manual to unstick the pages on? :pimp:

how much power are you going for?

Builder states that I should have around 550hp at the crank. It’s more than anything a street cruiser that will get some track passes in.

Here is a video from the first start up / break in last summer

damn, should be able to hit 10 seconds all day with that.
Tho I dont think you can break 11.49 without a cage.
Atleast per the rule book hahaha.
Niice

incorrect.

you can…but only once…because then they tell you to go home, :lol:

:tup: though, very nice…and that’s way more braking power than that car was ever meant to have lol

man i love this project, those new brakes really make a nice impact. Awesome work man keep it up!

I can always play dumb :slight_smile:

I figure a good amount of braking power, and a mix of some hotness.
Makes for a good combination.

I was looking at this thread at work the other day.The creepy tire tech runs up behind me.Mind you he is a know it all who does not know dick. He see your rim pics he goes.“those brakes are to heavy and those tires are to low of a profile.That car will never be fast”. I gave him a big picard

No pictures for this update, but some more progress.

We’re about finished installing the SSBC setup. I have a new radiator from Wizard Cooling (www.wizardcooling.com) coming later this week. Once I get that I’ll install it and be ready to fire up the engine again. Then a few electrical issues, alignment and inspection. Cruise…

I can taste it :slight_smile:

wow, coming along nice!!!

i cant wait to see this out and about, great job!!!
