My new 98 Z28 (Under the knife)! by LT1Formula007

I totally agree. I would suggest him to anyone in a heartbeat.
Great guy to deal with and really knows his stuff.

I do however think my car was the biggest PITA for him to tune though lol!
He was ready to give up PLENTY of times, but he kept at it until it was done. Thats what I like about him; He will keep at it til it's done!

Video will be up by this weekend... I can tell a BIG Difference in the way it sounds now! It actually idles good and continuous instead of surging and trying to die.

I'm gonna get it to the track in the next month or so also. I'm looking into a set of 15" BFG Rear Drag Radials as we speak! 2 Brand NEW DR's for the price of 1! 
It's a buddy hookup...

I think the 15" tire will help since it will flex more and hopefully allow me to launch better. (We'll See!)

Ok well just so everyone knows I managed to pull off a personal best and accomplish ALL of my goals for the 09' season in 1 day!

First of all, My goals were....
1.) Drive to the track, Run a 10 second pass, and drive it back home. (1 hour and 20 minutes each way)
2.) Run a 10.99 or better
3.) Run 125 mph or better
4.) Not break anything on my car at the track in 09'
I accomplished them all! LOL

So Anyways, I went to RPM Transmissions Track day today at Muncie Dragway In Muncie, Indiana. There I managed to run several LOW 11 second passes and Just when I was about to call it a day, It happened. I ran a 10.993 @125.61 mph with a 1.659 60' (Hell Yeah!)

The car is a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with an LS2 Based 403 CI Stroker motor with all forged shelf internals, and STOCK Un-Ported 243 LS6 Heads and a cam equal to the Texas Giant... Bought from Thunder Racing though.
The Transmission is a stage 4 4L60E with a Yank SS4000 stall converter and the Rearend is a stock 10 bolt with 3.42 gears. Suspension is dbl. adj. LCA's, PHB, QA1 12 way rear shocks, UMI SFC's, Edelbrock Dbl. Adjustable Tq. Arm, And tires were 26 x 11.5 x 16 MT ET Streets.

I built this car/put together, By Myself (in my garage) and had it tuned by Chad at GLM. I'm only 24 years old, so give me some credit here lol!

A BIG THANKS goes out to MY DAD! For teaching me to set goals and go for them and never give up! And mostly for having faith in me. It's better to go for something and not achieve it, than to never have tried and always look back and wonder " what if ". RIP Dad, I Love You.
Also, Chad at Green-Light Motorsports for the tuning he did on my car (we all know how much of a PITA it was lol), RPM Transmissions for the track day where I ran my 10 second pass, William W. for building my Transmission, 765Joey *The guy I bought the engine from (longblock), And CaptainInsaneO, and PurdueRanger for all of there help with getting me into the 10's.

Well I just wanted to post up some stuff about my car and brag about my 10 second pass. And give credit where credit is due! Thanks everyone!

*More updates are coming this winter....

But for now, I'm just happy with a 10 second street car thats Damn-near daily driven.
