Jim Moran's 1996 Camaro SS


Engine-
359ci LT1, splayed 4bolt, eagle crank and rods, CP pistons, 8.6-1cr, AFR heads, 218/218 hyd roller.

Driveline-
G-force prepped T56, Mcleod twin disc clutch, Pro 5.0 shifter, Dennys 3.5in aluminum driveshaft, Currie 9in with detroit true-trac, 31spline axles, functional 3 channel ABS, aluminum center section with 3.27 gears.

Chassis/brakes-
Original level 2 bilstien suspension, along with spohn torque arm and panhard rod, Baer track kit front brakes, stainless steel brake lines and braided hoses, PA K-member, wolfe 6pt bar, 1LE front and rear control arms, 17x9.5 and 17x11 "SS" wheels with 275 40 17front and 315 35 17 rear tires.

Engine management/fuel system-
BS3 engine management with Staged injection and dual fuel systems. Stock tank/93 octane/walbro 255 feeds primary set of 42lb injectors. 7.8 gal fuel cell/110 octane race fuel/walbro 255 feeds secondary 42lb injectors when the first set reaches 90% duty cycle. (at which point fueling is shared equally between both sets of injectors).

Turbo system-
Unequal length 1 5/8 headers, twin Innovative dual ball bearing GT61 turbos with p-trim .69 hot side. 3in downpipes, 4in intermediate pipe, 3.5in SLP two on the left exhaust. Twin Griffin intercoolers mounted in front of the front tires. Innovative multi-stage boost controller, twin Tial 38mm wastegates with .9bar spring. All hot side components ceramic coated, cold side components powdercoated.

Misc-
Star machine vacuum pump system. A toggle switch on the dash switches between the fuel pressure/fuel level sending units of both fuel systems to the fuel pressure gauge and fuel level gauge. (so both systems can be monitored with one set of gauges). All suspension components were powdercoated or painted. Entire underbody/engine compartment repainted.

Performance/driveability-
The car is ultra-quiet and has excellent driveability due to the small hyd cam. It dynoed 855rwhp @ 6,000 and 869rwtq @ 4,300 @21lbs of boost through the SLP exhaust. This combination has ran 9.6@146mph through the SLP exhaust, and 9.7@149 through a 4in magnaflow exhaust at about 3,750lb raceweight. All accessories have been retained. ABS, power steering and brakes, airbags, and Air conditioning, are all functional. The dual fuel systems and staged injection allow long range high boost trips as pump premium is the primary.
