looks pretty good
what kind of numbers are you putting down?

**FreakV6** · 09-02-2010, 04:53 PM

havent been to the dyno yet (hopefully within the next month if the guys that are going with me com through). I would imagine it would be in the 240-250 range.

Don't take that wrong bro it could be just the video.. I'm not trying to put it down or anything like that.. Just seems too lopey is all..

acutally been custom tuned via hp tuners, and the tune is pretty well spot on. If you listen to other abbott and gt2 cams, it sounds pretty spot on. I also never have an issue with it dieing (it doesnt even surge when coming to a stop). Thanks for the input though

**silverWS6** · 09-02-2010, 08:50 PM

Sounds good and looks good!!

I also like the way you have not put Z28 nadges or SS badges on it

I hate it when people do that to V6 cars

Imho.. If more people who had 3800II powered cars understood the history behind thier engines they prolly would'nt rebadge them so much.. There would be no need..

Nice car man.
I miss my red z28

Red and black look good.
How many inches is the cowl?

**2001camaroSS** · 09-02-2010, 10:44 PM

thanks, and its a 4" cowl. I know it is a little big, and it wasnt my first choice. I just couldnt pass up the deal i got on it.

Thanks man, you would be surprised how many confused stares i get when i tell them its just a v6 when they hear it idling.

You and me both. Im defiantly not trying to be an ss, i love the 3800 platform. The only reason i even have the ss spoiler is because it flows with the lines of the car so much better.

Np man, no offense taken.

**98maro** · 09-03-2010, 09:58 AM

Your car looks great man.
I like the red line on the rims.
The hood looks sick too.
Idk bout your state. But I was told by a friend that here in Cali any hood wit a cowl higher than 3 inch is illegal.

i have been the person giving someone with a v6 mustang that exact same look hah. i was dumbfounded

**headpecker** · 09-03-2010, 01:19 PM

Your car looks great! I bet it turns alot of heads huh!?!?

**FreakV6** · 09-03-2010, 01:51 PM

If defiantly gets some looks. I guess thats kinda what we all do it for, no?

**ls1camino** · 09-03-2010, 02:17 PM

Looks awesome, man.

Two things I would change, personally:

- Thinner "stripes" on the wheels
- A more "flowing" cowl hood...I don't like the straight up and down...Sunoco hood is more what I like.
