2001 Chevrolet Camaro - CamaroSS

I had a picture of the ultimate Camaro in my mind. I built it, and I am very happy with the car. I can drive it on the street anytime I wish, and do so at least 3 times a week. It has a full drag setup with BMR suspension and a Yank PE4400 torque converter. I try not to bench race, but I love to predict what the car will run, and shoot for that ET.

I just spun a rod bearing, so the car will receive a new motor. I am shooting to go 10.5 N/A, so I am going to try and achieve the power to accomplish that.

Cam-Only Performance:
11.255@120.38 1.529 60ft After the TRex cam, but in some crummy heat, the motor was letting go and I was never able to repeat or beat that mph, and I found out the motor was letting go. Now I have spun a rod bearing, but I was able to back this up with 7 11.25 pases, so I feel it is safe to say the car was consistent.

I was able to go 7.078 @ 97.00 1.508 60ft in a good DA at a local 1/8 miles, so I know it had an 11.1 or quicker in it while it was still holding together.
