    Yeah I figured as much based on the weather down here:/. I'll probably just car pool with Jeremy. Plus I don't want to take the chance that it might break down then I'd be SOL.

    @iguardflorida requested some pics of the Camaro and I didn't want to jack his thread so incoming pics. The last pic was this past weekend. Thanks to some local NATOR guys. I was able to get my suspension and electrical stuff all sorted out. I got an alignment today and it all seems solid. I'm...

    Should I delete my balance shaft?

    I'll post some in my build thread so I'm not completely jacking this thread. I'll tag you.

    Should I delete my balance shaft?

    I'm likely to keep mine after I build my motor because I daily my speed or at least I did before ZZB. IMO keep it if you daily, if it's a weekend car get rid of it. Also my fiance already thinks my car rattles too much so that also influences my decision. She gets a headache every time she's in...

    Gotcha well I wasn't 100% sure, this is just coming from what I've discussed with some people. When I was searching for answers Sean Strout said that it's most likely the plenum being so large that it acts like a vacuum leak. That's where I heard it and it sounded like a reasonable explanation...

    Haha I can't deny that! Wouldn't want to let anyone down with not boring it so I guess I'll find the money somewhere

    I've been contemplating getting another car, I'm determined to fix this Camaro though haha. I was actually just thinking about a miata since I'm sure I could find one dirt cheap. Yeah I'm pumped for the IM for sure! I imagine it's better in all aspects (hopefully) haha. The plenum looks a...

    Yeah I was really looking forward to seeing Javier's car in action. I saw a start up video on Instagram, it sounded and looked amazing. This is the only old car that I have worked on and I am very glad, like you said, that they have plenty of room to work. It was a breeze to fix pretty much...

    Haha it's more that it's been happening back to back. I guess you're a Ford guy;) Yes they did but Javier had some family issues that came up so his car was put on hold. Not exactly sure for how long he was planning on putting the car off. I was hoping that they would of been done with testing...

    TL;DR Don't let your car sit for too long without driving it. Especially one that's almost 50 years old. Well Black Friday deals are gone and I couldn't order any parts for the Mazda because stuff keeps breaking on the Camaro. A little run down of everything that I've replaced since I picked...

    So I got quite a bit done on the car over last weekend. Installed my new SBC camber arms, 1000% better than the JBR ones. Thought this was an interesting comparison between stock, SBC and JBR. I was a noob when I bought my JBR parts. I think that was the first thing I did to my car, coilovers...

    My car did the same exact thing, I did some searching and asked around but didn't find much other than thinking it was a vacuum leak. I fixed all my vacuum/boost leaks and still had my AFRs dipping rich when coming to a stop. It drove me nuts for awhile and I think it was Sean Strout that told...

    @VTMongoose To each their own with what they prefer haha. Like @alexwlwsn said, being able to stay out of boost when I want to is nice as a DD for me. I get the other side of it and who knows I may have preferred a smaller turbo if I was tuned by someone who knew what they were doing when I...

    I only spoke with Mark briefly about it but I would be running a 12.5:1 ratio and looking down the road to experiment with some cam setups that he has in mind. From what I've read you need an after market cam with a higher lift to maximize the benefit of high compression pistons so I would like...

    Damn I would I would sold it to you. I put it on one of the B/S/T Mazdaspeed pages on Facebook and it was gone in a couple of days so I didn't even get a chance to list it here. I'm going to document everything and if I get the time I wanna make a "How to" thread on disassembling an engine, if...

    Yeah I asked Mark to push it pretty far and the tune was solid it was just me being an idiot with the WOT box stuff haha. Yeah I'm curious as well. I was running a 50/50 93/E mix on a 6th port setup spraying before the throttle body with 2 2200cc injectors and a DW 340 ITP. I thought about...

    Yes to your question about FFS, I wonder if my clutch partially slipped during those pulls that I got boost creep. That's a possibility on the FoST IM, I'll give that some thought for sure. Not really dead set on anything at the moment and for single runners, that's a maybe haha. Yep I was on...

    Haha sorry I should of been more clear. It'll be my daily until it starts snowing then I'm borrowing my girlfriend's, dad's company car. It's a 2012 Honda Civic, he has three of them and one isn't being driven right now. I just didn't want to call him and be like hey I need a car for 2-3 months...

    Major Update: Well some of you may have expected this post at some point but I went ZZB. A little background before I get to how it happened. A couple of days before I changed some settings in my WOT box because it didn't seem to be working correctly for flat-foot shifting. Basically I would go...
