Stage 1 began this weekend

aka Reckless · 03-19-2017, 08:54 PM

Stage 1 is build out to prepare for a supercharger of some kind soon after:

VR Stage 2 cam, valve springs, pushrods, VR forged pistons, Comp lifters, Comp trunion upgrade, ARP head studs, AR 1 7/8 headers no cats, E85 conversion, LT4 Pump and injectors, fancy valve covers and coil relocation with Moroso wires. More photos when she's all done.

Cant wait to see what she does when completed

Looks like a fun project Todd. Look forward to watching the build!

Finally got my missing exhaust pieces and got the car on the dyno. Remember this is with a stock air box and filter, plus the forged pistons result in a little heavier rotating assembly.

Here is the graph breakdown:

Baseline --- 391/414
Cam + Headers (no cats) + pump gas --- 432/424
Cam + Headers (no cats) + E85 --- 458/442
Cam + Headers (no cats) + E85 + stock air box opened without filter --- 471/450

There were lots of changes made to the car and it sits at 4,000 miles now on the odometer. Most of the changes were to make things stronger for forced induction such as trunions, pistons, LT4 injectors and pump. So most of the expense did not yield any change in power this round. Most were made preparing for the next round

Great numbers!

Awesome seeing number difference with open air box

They are trying to show you every single horsepower they can by leaving the SAE smoothing off. Either way, great build. It's going to be solid for sure! I really like the coil relocation. Is that a kit I could buy? I would like to do that to mine. Let's hear it start up and run!!!
Have you decided what type of induction you're going with?

The coil brackets are available through Vengeance, but made by Moroso. This particular set was used at the PRI trade show, so the wires, brackets, and valve covers were all a set. Not sure how it prices out. VR usually does a coil pack relocation with the covers, so you'd have to call and ask what the price is with the setup on my car.

Really Good information on almost the closests well known Camaro 6 race shop to me. I have thought of using them when I do my cam and heads. Looks like if used similar cam, CAi, exhaust and heads with pray porting will easily get me to the 500whp mark on 93 octane.

Good luck on your build. Looks impressive and stout so far!

They already made 500rwhp on a 6th gen with cam and heads and accompanying mods, but it was a manual trans.

Hard Parker · 04-03-2017, 11:17 AM

500whp on a cam with a manual is easy!

Impressive numbers for sure

I'm hype to see what you make when the SC goes on

Think I am going with the ECS system. Only shooting for 700rwhp. Trying to avoid adding methanol, plus it's only a street car lol

Good choice I'm having a blast with my ECS setup on the street and strip ... I was 100% stock before the ECS system with all your supporting mods I'm excited to see how far you can push it I'll find out eventually just want to have some fun with it for now before the next round of upgrades. Congrats
