If you haven’t figured it out yet, the vehicles that gain the customer’s affection are the ones that are driven and enjoyed. People like to see them modded, on the track, mashing around cones and billowing huge clouds of smoke. In 2000 the Camaro SS fit into those criteria and it was evident that people thoroughly enjoy the vehicle itself.
Judging by the modifications so far, it is a true power junky with a mild handling fetish. Hanging from the outside of the honkin’ V8 resides a ported throttle body, LS6 intake manifold and new headers.
Inside, the valvetrain is upgraded with new springs and retainers, thrown in a new bumpstick and has plans on a custom cam in the future. Along with the engine work, he’s added a strut tower brace and a weld-in subframe connector, electing to leave the Bilstein suspension alone for the time being.
The future will look bright, as new intake and exhaust plumbing is on the horizon and when they’re partnered with the custom cams,everyone is expecting to spin the dyno wheels to the tune of 430 HP. Good enough for drag strip runs and autocross duty.
