..at TTP. It's a 99 LS1 camaro that I bought in January as my first car. It's a 6SPD, and currently has 175K miles on it. I bought it stock and since January I have been throwing money at it like crazy to make it a full bolt on car. The only bolt on I don't have is an UD pulley but I don't really want one. My mod list is this(starting from the front of the car back): "free ram air", SLP Lid, LS6 intake manifold, MSD wires, NGK Tr55's, Hooker SuperComp Lt's, TSP catted Y-pipe, going to a Magnaflow catback. I have added some appearance mods to it that include the whistler mod, an SS hood, and painting the calipers red. I also added a hurst billet plus shifter. I'm thinking the car should be close to 350 rwhp/360 rwtq, but with mileage, well...we'll see if that plays a factor or not. The car runs strong and oil pressure is great(has had synthetic oil run through it it's entire life). Even though the engine has 175K miles on it, the fact that it has been run using synthetic oils makes me think this car will dyno like it has 75K miles on it since synthetic is supposed to lessen engine wear. We will see, I can't wait. I'll post up how it went tomorrow.
