Thank You, I was building a spreadsheet when the 2010 Camaro came out to do mods, then the 1LE but, when the ZL1 came out.... As they say the rest is history, I wanted a car that I did all the work on. The only things I did not do are the welding, alignment and tune. My wife has had her ups and downs with it, her first glimpse into how serious I was is when she came home and the complete interior was in the living room, I replaced the entire stereo system and put in 100 sq feet of sound deadening mat. She could not look at the car when I made the cut outs for the front fender vents and under the back seat to replace the fuel pump.

Now I am doing Aero mods I want to take it to the Silver State Challenge in Nevada but, cannot with the tune issues.

Damn nice!!

Looks really nice

Thanks, I thought of doing a build thread but there are allot of those here.

This picture probably means the most to me, putting in the new cam that I speced out. Good or bad live or die it is the heart of the engine that I designed..... 2 years of research and math to match the stock heads and double the boost.

On the Mustang dyno it was pulling 650hp at the rear wheels but Tommy had to limit my rpms to 6000 as the fuel leaned out. I still have 1000 rpm to go and the HP was still climbing. That is why I had to upgrade to the dual fuel pumps.

I do have one more stage planned after this one. The 4th stage is air ride suspension and a new LSX 427 engine with a 4.0 whipple charger that I will build. I am already putting together a spreadsheet for it.... Please do not tell my wife!!

Would love to see what you do next. My buddy Brent's Z was done by Tommy and it is a beast.

I just got done installing a rear wickerbill that I made from 1/8" aluminum and a front splitter add on. Moving the scrape pucks to the splitter add on has already paid off as a soda can does not even fit under the splitter. Just have side skirts and rear diffuser to buy and install. Hope to put the 6 point roll bar in soon, it is taking up room in our office space right now.

Had a close call this weekend as the neighbors tree dropped some branches on our car port....

Luckily no damage to the car!!!

Yes to close, my wife and I agree that the roof needs to be reinforced when we repair it. I am thinking 1" thick 4' x 8' sheets and metal roofing.

This thread got a little off subject, no one else has any ideas or thoughts on fixing my tune?

Give Jordan at JDP Motorsports a call or Joshua Starkweather a call. Both are great at what they do and are very helpful. Nice guys!!
