Default 1967 Camaro Project Update

Ok, finally getting around to making a project thread here. Don't have all the project pictures but here are a few. This car is a driver so no nice clean engine or underbody shots.

Engine
409CID Small Block Chevy (Decked, Splayed)
AFR 210CC race ready heads
Solid Roller Cam
6" Rods
Victor Jr Intake
MSD 6al
Headman Hustler Headers to 3" spintech oval exhaust

Chassis
SC&C Adjustable Arms W/Tall balljoint
Varishocks w/ Hotchkis springs
Hotchkis sway bar
C5 front brakes w/ Hydroboost brake booster
T56
Gbar Rear suspension w/10 bolt 4.10 gears
DSE Mini Tubs
S&W Roll Bar
Hotchkis subframe connectors
C6Z06 Rims 18x8.5 front 18x10.5 rear
Home made front splitter

as it sat a couple years ago


Body Work wasn't too bad. Cheater quaters, 1 new outer wheel house small patch on the door.


Tubs





Cage in


T56 install hit the floor due to a slight variation in the floor (you can see the fold in the metal). I needed to remove some of the welds and straighten out were the floor was hitting. I also gave that ear some plastic surgery.


Painted but not digging the chrome now


Splitter


As it sits now painted Rims / Splitter I think it just looks mean.




Currently have but not installed (yet):
Vortech Supercharger (this is going to be a big project)
KRC pump w/ external tank
Lee Steering Box
C5 rear discs brakes
BF Goodrich KD's

Probably won't get many more updates since I plan on just driving this for a while.

Nick

The car looks great with the wheels blacked out. Very Nice.

Congratulations.

Love the tech flex wire wrap as it so much nicer then the plastic loom.

Wow its been a while since I updated this.........

Had a great dyno session at Pro Edge Tuning in CT. They far exceeded my expectations.

Final numbers rear wheel 658 HP 575 TQ @ 7000

Dyno THe smoke was from the exhaust that had loaded up due to a terrible first tune. It was so rich because the mail in tune was botched!




Drive By (Tires are not holding)


Still lots of small things to do but its moving in the right direction

I have questions about the dyno results. Your numbers seem low based on you changing heads, cam and a ported blower. I mean, you're putting down cam only with over driven blower numbers. With a ported blower and those heads you should be closer to or over 700.

Yes, I left some on the table. I am only running a 9.5" lower with a stock upper (23% OD) pulley. I'm also running a ported 90mm vs 102mm and i'm running a 4" intake tube not a 5". I wasn't looking for peak power I wanted a solid street car. Plus the last pull was cooled down but still warm from earlier pulls.
