Im even more excited now...
Grabbed a Nitrous Outlet switch panel, remote bottle opener, and bottle warmer. Looks like the battery box will work on the drive side, so the bottle will go under the plastics where the spare tire was. I won't be doing the soccer mom bag in the back seat haha.
Picked up a harmonic balancer from Summit (not ATI, pinching pennies right now til it's finished) and an eBay catch can. No pics unfortunately, but you get the idea.
I'm still looking into the timing tuner. Will be ordering something before the end of the week. The car is coming along. @Cahall is sending some misc parts and it's drivetrain, suspension, and brakes are all done. Next is wiring/sensors/hoses/fluids and hopefully firing it up. Then gauges and nitrous, finished up with a tune.
I'm hoping I have enough time to dip the car before the dyno day, if not oh well lol. Coming down to the wire.
Ahhhh, dont worry bout dip. Wait til you see mine!Quote:

Well, here we are less than a week away from the LTXTech dyno day. Sadly, I am 75% confident it will not make it. The car is still on track to be done and back in my hands in a week-week and a half, but I'll know by Wednesday for sure. I stopped by to check out the T/A progress yesterday and left with a base tune in the Camaro lol. Here are the pics. Car is starting to take shape, now!

The pics resized a little small, but it's not even 8AM here and I don't care lol. I can re-upload larger pics to anyone who wants them. The battery box and new battery are awesome. Nitrous bottle is mounted, but will need to be cleaned up a bit yet and painted. The rad mount is nice, I like having the option to move it under the rad support if I go FI down the road. Ran into some clearance issues with the nitrous plate and 58mm BBK. Doing a little research on here, I found a fix for it. The BP Automotive harness was great and the shop really liked it. They ended up moving the temp sensor connector to the other head that required lengthening a cable, but not a big deal.
From a drivetrain standpoint, it's all in. Suspension is done except the rear sway bar - QP 9" didn't come with a mount for it. Brakes are done. Still need the SFC's welded in. Gauge wiring and nitrous hookup is last. Other interior stuff like newish hatch struts and headliner are next. Some things need to be buttoned up yet in the engine bar, as you can see. They valve covers didn't seal right with the gaskets I provided so they found some fancy quark/metal gasket. The BP Auto coil brackets didn't play nice (I bought the 24x stuff before I bought the covers). But, Stump's made them work as you can see.
Catch can and aftermarket overflow tank will be going where the battery used to be. I am interested to see how they will be mounted.
Not to derail my own build thread, but the Camaro is much smoother after the base tune (similar to a mail order except he did a little bit of data logging). Skip Shift deleted. Torque Management deleted. 12% more fuel (total). It pulls out a lot easier and has a lot more noticeable power (When there's traction haha). The car should have came like this from the factory. It has a modded intake, ported tb, shorties, borla axleback, full suspension, and a catch can.
Well the TA is taking shape very well, and as much as Id love the higher LT powered car turnout (yours will be the third one unable to make it), its not worth rushing it, or beating on it prematurely, so the camaro will do just fine. lol
Glad to hear the tune is better on the camaro, curious to see what it is making over stock with minimal upgrades.
See you in 6 days!!!
Hows it goin man...
