For those who don't know: '98 Camaro 3.8L auto with cam (pushrods/valvesprings too), headers, 3.73/limited slip, intake/exhaust, tune.
Well, tonight was the first time I floored the Camaro now that she has over 350 miles on the rebuild (starting the night, I'd say about 300). So, I start toolin' around to feel the extra power by myself without trying to race anybody. Well, needless to say, my buddy's Neon totally got whomped on even when he tried and he was speechless by how much faster my car got since the rearend, cam, headers, and tune.
So then there's a really loud Fox Body Mustang who keeps looking over at me while hitting it. Well, everytime he hits it, his whole car jumps.. so I'm like holy $h!. Anyway, I decided to go from about 5 MPH with him and we were neck-and-neck the entire way to 65. I was pretty impressed.
So, now I feel a little more excited and try to take an LS1 Z28 for $h!s and giggles (I knew I was about to get whomped on). Well, the driver says to go after the light (it was a green light and we were going about 30 MPH)... So she floors it UNDER the light and grabs a little lead on me because I went right after the light. At this point, my front bumper's at her door. Unfortunately, my damn auto doesn't shift down to first like it should've (and could've.. it redlines in 1st around 45 MPH), but stays in 2nd gear trying to keep up. Well, by the time I hit 55 MPH, my front bumper was at her back bumper. That's a pat on the back if you ask me!
So, yeah, I'm excited as hell and figured I'd share my glory!
