After installing a torque converter and rear gears, I head to the drag strip to compare my times before and after the build. This is a 2000 Camaro with ported 243 heads, Cam, LS6 Intake and full exhaust. I added a built 4l60e with a 3,000 stall pro torque converter. Watch as I break down each run and compare the numbers.

Demolition drag racing at the Cleetus N Cars event in Bradenton. I've never seen anything like this at a drag strip, it's pretty insane! I have no affiliation with Cleetus McFarland, however I am a fan of Leroy.

I added a built 4l60e and upgraded the rear end on my 2000 Heads/Cam Camaro. In this video I show you some driving habits before and after the build, and give a review of the transmission, torque converter, shift kit and rear gears. The transmission has a 3,000 Pro Torque converter and a shift Kit. The rear end has 3.42 Motive performance gears. 1/4 mile video link: ua-cam.com/video/23EtYMGrDG4...

    Hey, do you remember what that colour is called? Sadly I wrote off my 94 Z28 a few weeks back.... looking at a new one, which is black, but it might need painted. My other car is black, so I may look at something different. I'm thinking either the stock quasar blue they came in at the time, or something like this.

    If nobody has said it yet the reason your windshield is fogging is because you're running the car where is the back door open to outside air put it on recirculate to keep this from happening that way the outside pressure one build up at the cowl area of the windshield and force the humid air into the car

    If I can ask, would getting a bigger torque converter make a big cam more suited for a daily driver? I ask because the chop of a BTR Stage 3 paired with an LS1, is just such a heavenly sound.

    Just a question why didn't you do the bottom end while you was actually rebuilding your engine.The only other thing was the freeze plugs.I would hate to be pulling the engine back out over a dollar freeze plug bro.

    Normally I much prefer these with the SS hood, but… I don’t know if it’s the colour or what… but this is probably the NICEST late model 4th gen Z28 I’ve ever seen. The colour is just amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing about it aesthetically. I know this is an older video, but I hope you still have this. I have an 85 IROCZ Z28, a 94 Z28, and a 2010 SS.

      @@tampabaybuilds6825 hope you get one again. 95 Z28 was my first car, I loved it, and it unfortunately caught fire (wanted to be a Firebird I guess). Luckily I only had a few very minor burns, and melted hair on the right side of my head (a quick haircut and all was good), lol. That was in 2006, and I dreamt and dreamt about that car all the time because I missed it so much. Finally grabbed the 94 Z28 last summer. It’s not the exact same, but it’s pretty close (basically just doesn’t have leather, which I could easily change). Maybe one day that will happen for you too!

    Great info.. I wish you had some links in the description to some of the best prices for these parts, that would be really helpful. I have an 04 GTO and have been reading up on mods and watching all kinds of videos to get some ideas. I already put on a K&N intake, and next I want to put on a new exhaust. Thinking about the loudmouth exhaust or magnaflow exhaust. Then I'd probably like to do a coilover kit, then headers and a camshaft. I'm also looking for some people around the Cincinnati area that work on LS1s if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.. I'd like to find someone to help me do the mods so I can learn. I'm just using the car as a daily driver, not really looking to put it on the track

  • @PhoenixFoxxo
