Cant wait to see this on the road, where did you order your fuel system parts? I am thinking of doing 60# injectors and dual pumps like you have.

I just put in my dual pumps today actually. I got my injectors, drop in dual walboro pumps and racetronic hotwire w/ boost activated hobb switch kit from Lonnie's Performance. I wish I would have grabbed pictures before I left my brother in laws.

The best mod I got so far for this car is additional insurance from my insurance company. I got "stated value" on my car and it was only an additional $38 dollors a year. Just so happens my car hit 10 years old this year and qualifies for "classic car" insurance. Unlike "show car" I can drive my car where ever I want.

Any of you other guys doing this? Just seems like a no brainer as the amount of money I'm putting into this car is way more than it would ever be valued at.

 

[Yaj Yak]

ohhh really. waht insurance company? what year is your car also?

 

[willizm]

It's an 01. The insurance company is called Erie Insurance.

 

[Boostie]

Hmm mine is 10 years old, I should check with my insurance co. I have it setup with some sort of thing now that I can only drive 7500 miles a year. Who knows if I would even hit that amount of miles lol.


Back on topic though, love the build and when updates are posted. Is that pod made by glowshift? Do you have any pictures installed, I need to order a pod for my boost and wideband gauges.

 

[JDHedman]

I am going to do this when I get my off storage and back on full..

 

[willizm]

The pod is by autometer. It fits pretty decently. It's about the only option out there for an a pillar pod. I'll snap sone more pics when I get back over there.

Right on, that 10bolt I gave you ever go to goo use or are you just holding on to it?

 

[JDHedman]

I'm gonna put my 4.10's in it Sunday. Then mine will become a spare lol

Yup sure am. Limited to 7500 miles a year and they have sent documentation requesting odometer readings. My rates for the TA are cheaper than the GTP.

Then I'm glad you are giving it some use instead of just scraping it.

Here is some shots. Didn't put the pop rivets in it yet so I'm just holding it up in place.

 

[Boostie]

Thanks for the pictures, that does seem to look a bit nicer then the one made by glowshift. Price isnt much higher either.

Just put the camaro back on full coverage and added an additional $10k coverage per occurrence and payments are like $75 a month with a at fault accident 6 months ago. Thanks for reminding me. Now hopefully I can get the gears in before my tune on Wednesday.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything. I owe ya

^Will Do, I so wanted to make the 5 guys meet yesterday, but had my son since my ex flaked out on me.

Other news, i ran the cables for my battery relocation but haven't hooked up anything yet. Also ran the fuel pump hotwire kit up to the front as well. Going to hook the hotwire off of the alternator as recommended from the vendor. Just taking my time since I don't have much to do for now.

Still waiting on the motor?

What insurance do you have? I have state farm and they're Nazi's, if I get classic or show car they only insure from and to shows etc. And for additional coverage they only base it on the receipts I have for each accessory bought

 

[Bru]

I have State Farm. I'll get the exact terminology of the coverage so you can bring it to your agent.

But I haven't inquired about additional insurance.

Just spoke to Bryan at SpeedInc and they are working on it and hoping to have it done next week. We will see about that. I also picked up a 3bar map sensor, front cover gasket(last gasket I needed), and rear oil galley plug.

I have Erie Insurance. My GF used to do claims for a bunch of insurance companies and they have always been really good about their coverage(A+ rated) and their premiums for us are pretty good. There is a difference between insuring your car with "classic" or "car show" coverage. A classic can only be driven 6k miles a year(I won't reach that anyway) and can be driven anywhere. Car show cars can only be driven to and from car shows.

I have State Farm. I'll get the exact terminology of the coverage so you can bring it to your agent.

But I haven't inquired about additional insurance.

With my company it's called "stated amount". I've heard others call it "agreed upon value". Just hold on to all your receipts of your mods. I don't know if they would cover labor typically, but I'm doing my own work anyway so that isn't a worry.

 

[willizm]

Got a call, my block is ready to pic up in the morning.

Sick cant wait to see this beast in action
