Since the camaro is about 1k pounds lighter then the silverado i was curious to see how the setup would preform in a lighter chassis. I shift this setup at 7500 rpms but might bump that up a few hundred rpms. Car is going to have powersteering and all the bells and whistles, this isnt a track car just a street warrior that will see track times but again isnt a full out track setup. I know auto would be faster but isnt an option.

here are the mock up pics of setup






some of this kit is carried over from the silverado. also this will be exiting thru a CME but will use a cutout off the downpipe for track days


when fiinshed car wil lbe electron blue with white 35th aniversary stripes. wheels are OEM C6Z06 wheels with a **** harrel clone widebody kit. engine bay has been smoothed and filled. the holes created from turbo kit will be filled and smoothed once again. all wires are going to be tucked and hiddend under the chassis. this will be a drawnout project

well today i worked on my rad support so i could use stock rad and fans. i cut rad support like many do and the piece that was removed was skinned and overlapped over the remaining piece. goal was to remain as stock looking as possible and doing this i still have strenght of stock and lines of stock as well. I also drilled out the spot welds holding the lower rad support in place. im sliding this peice foward to allow myself to keep the same angle of stock rad/fan setup.




made some progress after getting my bottles filled.






still up in air if i should triangluate the rad support for more strenght, ran short on time to finish more of it. Have to head to class

made some more progress today.

first up you can see how the rad is supported. i used 1x1 tube and cut it in half then i used stock rubber holders from the plastic rad cover and used them as the feet. I then had a cover break'd formed and also used a set of rubber holders on top





I also scored an AC delete box





then i started working on my nose support





it setup to use all the stock pushpins





ithen made more tabs to support the lower part of nose from flopping around


in these two pics you can see how open the area iis and how the intecooler is tucked in the nose



made some more progress today. started working on the manifold. You can see the final placement of the turbo, still have to finish welding it then possibly work on the downpipe







well i got more progress done today.

here are some shots of the IC moved as far forward into the nose as possible. I had to lose the TA foglight idea. so ill be adding some type of grill of some sort to hide the IC. also as you can see by the blue marker i still need to trim some more of the nose

im going to build a air deflector to direct the air from nose of car down to lower part of the IC and one from nose to top of IC this way the air is directed into the IC only

you can see in the pics the stock lower air deflector is in place just moved forward and reangled and works more as a scope to help direct air into the rad


now you can see the pics of the fuel rails and regulator. I Had it this way wihen i twas in the silverado and works well in the camaro. its hidden which i like the plan for this build is to be as clean as possible and things hidden






well today i made some more progress. Todays progress consisted of working on the manifold. As you can see the plugs are easily accessible and changable.



still leaves room to run stock heaterhoses


here you can see a mock up of the 4" dowpipe





in this pic youll see i have plenty of room on how the DP will route. ill be making a 90* turn and go between the engine mount and the block
