    Am I the only one on this website that thinks this kid should buy a civic instead of a V8 camaro? Do the muscle car people a favor and sell the camaro... if your going to rice it out any more than it already is you really dont deserve it. But thats just my opinion, and im sure a few other people share it with me.

    If you want my opinion Flowcus you can keep your opinions to yourself. As for the other people helping me I appreciate it a lot and will take a lot of your advice. Why the V6 springs in the rear, that I dont understand.....but ya im ordering the lca things and the electric water pump in 2 weeks when I get paid......

      allows the rear end to squat more when launching, although putting them in the rear would be useless because they are basically the same lb rate. The FRONT ones are not as stiff (because they are used to hold up a V6 instead of the heavier V8) so they allow the weight to transfer back easier.

        u asked earlier bout howcome all/almost all show cars had/have neons? right
        they are show cars, not DD'S or whatnot. a person who owns a showcar has bank. if u dont have money to make an all out show car, just make it look decent and leave it at that. and that is where ur car is. i hope u get the point i am making

        the elec WP is a 2 hour job. not to difficult. does that car have a CAI? LT4 KM? TB bypass?

            CAI is Cold Air Intake, which you do have.

                You need to realize, most domestic performance parts aren't flashy, so it might look stock.

                The SLP intake has 2 tubes that lead to the filter.

                    More importantly what are your goals for the Automobile? Buying parts without researching is sort of like putting neon on because show-cars have it. Why not research and learn a thing or to about your car, rather than wasting money on things people tell you to buy.

                    It sounds like you have a good platform to start from already. Seems like mabey its more than you're ready for at your current knowledge of the vehicle. Take time figure shit out then mod it.

                              I would assume after you install your neon you would have just that. 😉

                                    I think the other owner ran 14 something at a lower mph. I think that engine is a little tired.

                                      Geez this is a funny thread to read, I almost feel bad to let that nice camaro be riced out, I just hope you don't do anyhting too crazy.

                                      Shane, ask me about performance stuff, and if you need help with installing parts, let me help, I have a full shop and a welder so we can do whatever you want.

                                      As for performance parts, to finish up the suspension, I would get control arm relocation brackets and sub frame connectors. I would not reccomend supercharging that engine unless you are going to put a new engine in first. I was planning on rebuilding it this fall since I baught a LT4 kit from Jegs for that car.

                                      On another note, my Mom loved the Mustang, exactly what she wanted and she even loved the color.

                                      Since you now have my camaro, I decided I am buying a Corvette to replace it, maybe a 91-96 style with a 6-speed.

                                      But give me a call or stop by if you have questions or need help. I would like to see the camaro done the right way. If I were you I wouldn't mess with the body or neon lighting, I know I baught neons for that car, but after looking at them, I liked the stealth look that car has at night.

                                      I also have race tires for that car I paid $270 each for.

                                        Thanks Mike, I would really appreciate it, what are you doing with the LT4 kit?? As for the race tires how much tread is left and what would you want for the set?? I will keep in touch for sure, I would love to learn more about the car and how to do stuff to it. Thanks

                                          Thanks Mike, I would really appreciate it, what are you doing with the LT4 kit?? As for the race tires how much tread is left and what would you want for the set?? I will keep in touch for sure, I would love to learn more about the car and how to do stuff to it. Thanks
                                          I imangine he will use it on his C4.

                                          Just to let you know, the LT4 kit is a HUGE waste of Money.

                                          HUGE!

                                          Ask me why.
