I just went through this post again. What an effort to build a monster of a second gen. Great motor, wheels, brakes, suspension detail, jungle gym in the interior, stance, everything..... WOW!
What ET/trap are you looking for? Shooting for 8's?
Here's a couple shots with the front Forgeline ZX3R's, 10 1/2" and titanium fastners with michelin pilot sport cup tires. The front fenders were not on the car when I ordered them so I played it safe knowing I can replace the shells and widen the wheels after.
Too many pictures I know, but I really love the wheels. The pictures don't do them justice. The guys at forgeline are extremely helpfull and I strongly recomend them to anyone.
I just noticed the Idler Arm, Is this a one off piece or is it available somewhere.

Something in the 8's should be very realistic I think for this car. With a lot of boost it would have a chance at the 7's but I wouldn't count on it. Anything in the 8's is great, and a low 8 for me and I would be very happy. Should trap in the 160 range maybe?

The idler arm is a Howe piece, made to work with there center link. Adjustability is super easy. I think it may have been slightly different length then stock and I had to adjust the mounting point without changing the angle, but I got it where I'm happy with it. Its really made for stock cars turning left, where it could have been mounted in the stock location with no issues. If you need any measurements shoot me a PM and I can get them for you.
I started to install the remote filter, I still have to purchase the cooler and lines, and hope to have the transmission on its way within a week or two. My allergies were so bad this week I haven't been in the garage for more then 15 min.
Very cool. I thought you forgot about us.
Sorry about the allergies. It's a very bad season this year. Even my girlfriend that has never had allergies has them this year. Good luck!
....... this car is what made me want to do my 67' Catalina with a similar stance and wheel package, this Camaro is off the chart !!!! Do you guys know if anyone makes a 345/35-18 in a standard radial ??? I dont wanna think how fast my 67' Cat would wear out the M/T's DR's with a bunch of street driving, as for this beast of a Camaro here, all i can say is ..... .....
Hoosier and Kumho make a 345/35/18 but they are competition tires and will wear just as fast. Michelin makes a 345/30/19 that is 27" tall but you would need new back wheels. I'm not sure myself what I'm going to do after the initial testing and destruction of the MT's.

Finally saved up enough for my secret weapon. (its not really a secret) 4l80e full manual with engine braking and built to handle full throttle shifts into overdrive even with a blown big block making over 1200ft/lbs of torque.
Its a Rossler stage 4 with some special mods to handle the road race, drag, and 1 mile top speed needs of this car.
Lock up converter is on the way.
