Long story short most of you know the is Plaf713’s old camaro that I bought from him about a year ago.

So far I’ve had the 4L60 rebuilt with some mild upgrades (beast sunshell and heavy duty clutches along with a couple valvebody mods) and installed a stock torque converter. Also replaced the powersteering rack and adjusted the alignment, handles much better now. Plans for this summer are to install the 3.73s I have sitting and work and the QTP headers Y pipe and TPS rumbler I got from Richy. Other than that I need to adjust the front coilovers up a little and possibly get some camber casterplates. I also have replacement doors sitting at the house and will hopefully get it painted at some point.

Current mods  
SLP lid and intake  
LS6 intake manifold  
headers and full exhaust  
mail order tune  
edelbrock track pack suspension  
17" vette wheels with 275s

Right now I live next door to a farm and the farmers cats walk all over the thing and the various birds use it for a target. If it actually had decent paint I would give a shit, but it’s a spray bomb special so who gives a fuck.

Yes there are ways to adjust it. The tires have horrible wear from the camber being way off so I need to rotate the tires and get the alignment taken care of. I just did a quick toe and go when I installed the rack.

I know they are some kind of knock off not genuine. I might get something different after I get it painted, but I’ll probably wind up spending the money on the other project first.

Still running like a raped ape. I haven’t done anything other than change the oil twice. I’m going to do a compression test for shits and giggles when I change the headers.

Back to the factory black and hopefully find a set of factory optional gfx and then some Y2k vette wheels if I have the money.

Yes and it fits like shit. So if you come across somebody with a stock one let me know.

it only fits like shit because its not aligned correctly. These hoods are a real pain in the ass to adjust. I took mine off to clean it and shit one time and it took me a while to get it lined up perfectly.

the stock ss hoods are pretty expensive anyways.

I know they O.E. GM ones aren’t going to go cheap, but the one on my car is a harwood fiberglass that is really far off. Probably take a couple hundred in bodyshop hours to get it fitted right.
