I'm looking for all the expertise I can get! Oh and I'm meeting the guy sometime this week to get the binder with all the mods receipts that he has done to it. Thanks

im not seeing displacement change or any type of power adder in ur description....
in ur pics tho, i see an lt4 intake manifold lol. I hope they didnt repaint the rare lt4 edition car.... if so I would paint it back ASAP and just pretend it didnt happen!!!! those cars are rare and expensive!!!!

also, i dunno about 500+hp if its stock cube. a buddy of mine had the same thing, bought an lt4 car and the guy told him he had over 400hp, turned out when we took it to the dyno he only put down 290.

I'm still waiting for all the paperwork, but thats freaking awesome. How can I go about finding out if its an LT4? *Sorry, I'm new to these cars...*

As far as the power goes, the dyno sheets were legit from CAM in Durham, as soon as I get them I'll post them. As for myself, I'm hoping to get it on the Dyno sometime in the next month. I didn't rev the engine because I was a work. lol I'm really enjoying driving this car, the power has floored me. Here's the link to the video of the car starting up. ~~~

You're better off without an LT4. It looks like you probably (I say probably because it looks like paint may be pealing on your intake, which shouldn't happen with an actual powder coated intake like the real LT4 intakes were) have an Edelbrock LT4 intake, which means you would have aftermarket heads to match. Either way, once you get those receipts I guess we'll find out exactly what you have.

97RSCamaro, you might want to head over to the 'new members' section and pose the questions there or even the generation section... you will get better responces.

Dark side?? hahaha funny, if anything the tuner side is the dark side, designed here, labeled American in America. Well welcome, American cars are the way to go no question. As far as "*******s driving camaros" no, we just love our car, if I had a choice besides my 3rd Gen camaro I would totally get a 4th. I would love to see the other pics, and the dyno sheet. I hope you enjoy ur SS and be proud to drive american

Talking

Hey guys,

Just got back from Fort Bragg, NC on a training excercise and got the papers for the car in my hand. I'll lay down a mod list tonight. Yes, it's got a big **** cam in it from Comp Cams. The 500/550 claim was based off of Nitrous Oxide, which I'm not running anymore. I want to keep her around and not put a gaping hole in my hood, you know?

Yes, It's been repainted. No, it's not wrecked. Lol. and YES, The stripes are going back on her this summer. Just have to get the paint together and i'll be sanding and spraying 'till my heart's content.

Any ideas on where I can get the emblem that goes on the nose, near the grille? Is it supposed to be red or hugger orange? I can't even find replacement badges in the correct color, even from SLP. Lol!

I'm recovering the seats soon, white with the hugger orange centers. It's not original, but it's superior quality reproduction covers and still has the 30th AE logos.

She needs tires now, BAD! I have an outer right tie rod in need of attention, too. Any ideas on places that I can get a good deal on tires? I just need rollers, nothing fancy. I have M/T ET Drag Radials on '00 SS wheels for drag duty. :P

Probably gonna' get original looking wheels, but I like the '00 SS Wheel so much. Now, if I can only find some 35th AE's cheap...LOL!

As far as your Rally Sport goes, it's a great car! I love driving american again. Yes, it's got its quirks but they're is really nothing like that sound at idle. :*)

Anyway, I'll post up a complete mod list soon. (Well, as complete as I can get it.)

Much love,
-Jeromy
