I bet this thing is going to be an amazing ride. I love the ZR1 goodies combining 2 of my favorite cars ever.

I was pleased to run into "Jackass" in person parked outside of Atlantis in Reno, for Hot Augest nights. Love this car

I really love your builds, i like the way you bring the car up to speed on modern technology without killing the original look of the camaro.

Jack Ass 2.0

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6e50f16b.jpg

I purchased Jack Ass back from Charley Lillard to give it a freshening up. That car has been on 4 power tours and ran in 2009 OUSCI and finished 3rd. It is a great car and just need a little updating.

Plan:

Swap out the Morrison sub-frame for a Detroit Speed front sub-frame. At the time we did not know how to make the LS9 fit in the DSE sub frame and now I have that sorted out.

Adding Bosch ABS to the Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes. The car is very hard to drive fast with the grabby Carbon brakes. I’m going to copy the ABS system off Hellfire.

We updated the LS9 last year with CNC ported heads, a bigger cam and smaller pulley. It runs strong but not super strong. So I’m going to get a new 427 short block from Thomson Auto to make another 900ish engine for JA. Kind of a mister potato head engine from parts I have laying around. If we can sort it out it will also be E-85 flex fuel deal.

I’m sold on the DYAD Centerforce clutches so I’m swapping that out and also switching to a Tremec T-56 Magnum transmission to handle the 900ish ft*lbs of torque.

From everything I learned on the Z/28 program and Hellfire I now know how to keep these engines cool and reliable. I have C&R making the latest and greats cooling system for JA. Those guys are great.

We are also going to rewire the whole car to be common with Hellfire. This was the first LS9 we did or for that matter anyone had did and the wiring could use some cleanup. I’m also adding the same on Race Technology dash and data logger as Hellfire. It worked great and I loved having all the data to look at later.

We scaled the car before we tore it down and for a all steel Power Tour car its weight was about where I thought it would be. I think we might lose 50 lbs but that is about it. I'm keeeping it a steel fendered car.

So watch the “Part for Sale” forum because I will be selling most of the take offs from Jack Ass 1.0 and we move to Jack Ass 2.0.

That didn't last long and we are all quite relieved because of it. I tell my wife I'm taking a break after each big project. It never happens, I get bored way to quick.
