Hi all. I've lived in central Ohio all my life and I'm currently a first year student at OSU. I've been drag racing for 12 years, starting when I was eight in the Jr Drag Racing League and now Sportsman/Street classes. Now in to the important stuff. 3 years ago I bought a 1992 Camaro RS. It was a 305 TBI with a five speed and shortly thereafter my dad and I started with modifications. Since the car is built to be a competitive track car the first mod was to take out the 5 speed and swap it for a built 700R4. I know, opposite of what everyone else does but consistency is key in bracket racing so an auto is better in that regard. I took it to the track a couple times and it was slow: mid 16s. The next winter we did bodywork. Jack Maxton body shop did the metalwork: quarter panel skins and fixed rust around the windshield. Then we did the priming, blocking, and painting and I refurbished and polished the wheels. Next we started on power. I got a 5.7 from a 1999 suburban, was in good shape but had over 200,000 miles. It had the vortec heads so had decent power for a factory engine. I put on shorty headers, 3inch all the way back to a flowmaster 40. We kept the TBI and got the factory redone by Dynamic efi, so it is now flash based and fully tune able from the laptop. Also installed sub frame connectors. Ran that setup last year and it did well. Ran low 14s best pass was a 14.00 at 96. This year we took the engine out to freshen it. Got it honed (only 0.001in wear after 205,000 miles and a season of racing!), five angle valve job, and got the seats cut for more lift, all bearing replaced. We got everything back and did some slight porting on the heads, then put it back together: stock pistons, stock rods, stock crank (had to be ground, race grid by fowler), lt4 hot cam kit (lt4 hot cam, lt4 springs, 1.6 full roller alum. rockers), one piece pushrods, and new valve covers. Still have to put it back in the car. Spring break project, then it will need tuned. Should be right around 400hp and 425ft lb of torque which should put it right around mid to high 12s. Other mods from this winter were new Moser axles, new diff cover with set screws to put pressure on the bearing caps, a driveshaft loop, added four temp sensors and a gauge, and I got a 3in cowl hood which we still need to paint. I think that’s about it here's some pics http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/92SS3908/CamaroatMarina008.jpg?t=1236991661 http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/92SS3908/CamaroatMarina001.jpg?t=1236991817 http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/92SS3908/CamaroatMarinaI072II.jpg?t=1236993249 [/img] http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/92SS3908/2008NorwalkHighSchoolNationals062.jpg?t=1236993793 http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww66/92SS3908/2008NorwalkHighSchoolNationals063.jpg?t=1236993970

Welcome Greg, your boy Lee's a real douchebag, so name-dropping him isn't going to get you any points. Fortunately your intro has silver linings of win, and your car sounds pretty awesome for a 16 yr old to be rocking, so pending pics I'll be giving you +rep.

Good looking dogs you got. I have always loved boxers. One of my favs.

Oh no don't go and say this. Last time I made a thread about this vehicle and the v6 engine I got so much negative feedback. A 300hp V6 engine is worth considering.

i know, this is part of the entertainment factor for me, as i'm sure it is for him.

Not that i know of but i could be wrong i dont know if ag does anything. or welding

After reading throughout the forum I am starting to wonder that myself... Thanks,

Oh Lawd, possible Millwright or Welder...If it wasnt for generators I would go on and on about how Electricians are needed, but.... I doubled my income last year by going on the road so it will be hard to come home but once home I'll be ok I'm sure... If anyones looking for me I'll be the stinky guy standing in line at the bank...

Homo's each and every one of you. Like I said I PM"d V8ASSLICKER to try and get my spot secured. We'll see if he ever responds or if he will just pretend that I never did it. Who knows, the average IQ I'm sure is just over 50 ...
