My goal...


Take this 1994 Camaro Z/28 with 130,000 miles that I bought for $3500 and turn it into a low 10 second/high 9 second street/strip car.


Bought with:

MSD Opti Spark

Shorty Headers of some kind

Moroso CAI

3 inch Y Pipe

Flowmaster Muffler?

Salad Shooter Rims (updated to chrome 5-spokes)


Added:

Stainless steel 3.5 inch exhaust tips

MSD plug wires

Summit Race Seats

2000 Z28 Chrome Rims

SS spoiler

Limo Tinted Windows

Blacked Out Lights

Retro z/28 Emblems


Lost:

Air Conditioning

Emission Stuff

Heater and tubing

Front/Rear Bumper Supports

Air Bags

Front Seats (Replaced with Summit Seats)

Door Speakers and Rear Speakers

Spare Tire and Floor Jack

Front Sway Bay

P/S (finished)

Door Bars (still trying to get out)


Plans:

Lose as much weight as possible

Roll cage

SFCs

Set up the suspension for drag racing

Weld Pro Stars 15x4s and 15x8's with MT ET Drags (already have)

Nitrous

line lock and delete abs

9 inch rear end

Th350 or Th400

LT1 383 or 396

Cowl Induction or SS hood


So instead of just gutting the car and doing everything at once and have the car down for years, I am going to add stuff and race it and post times and keep going until i hit my goal. I want to spray the current engine, see how long the 130000 mile engine will go for along with the trans and rear. 


Here are some pictures of it as it sits right now. I know its filthy, had the accessory drive system off, so havent taken it to the car wash in a couple weeks. Would like to wax it before the snow comes.
