2001 Chevy Camaro Z28 - Budget Badass
The Y-pipe ... | 
And the Cat-Back exhaust system, utilizing an Aero Chamber muf-fler, a 3-inch intermediate pipe, and dual 2.5-inch tailpipes. This is a 16-gauge, fully mandrel-bent aluminized steel system that shows itself off with two handsome "dual-pipe" tips. All installation hardware is included. | 
GM Performance Parts hooked us up with a host of replacement parts. Patriot recommended early LS1 graphite head gaskets for better quench; with them the LS1's compression ratio will be around 10.7:1. Instead of going with a pricier ouble-roller, we got only a new timing chain. The coils and wires are in bad shape, and we'd been fighting misfire codes for some time. The new GM pieces will solve that problem. Final assembly pieces include valve cover gaskets, a crank bolt, a crank seal, and a timing cover gasket (not shown). | 
I turned to SLP for a great-fitting airlid that will add some power, and a heavy-duty LS1/LS6 oil pump to protect the soon-to-be high-powered LS1. This high-performance oil pump is a great idea if you plan on taking the stocker off. | 
COMP Cams, FAST, and Zex are supplying hardened pushrods, roller lifters, 60- pound high-impedance injectors, and performance spark plugs. | 
GMHTP has had excellent results from Racetronix fuel systems, and will be using its '99-02 plug-and-play F-body system in tandem with the 60s to provide more than enough fuel for our needs. | 
Once we get to TTP, Jason Partyka and Matt Zorn get to work on the Z28. | 
Because a major heads/cam/bolt-on project really needs the engine torn down, the exhaust system, manifolds, fuel rails, intake, valve covers, rockers, lifters, pushrods, coils, plugs, cooling fans, and radiator are all removed. | 
To remove the heads, three 15mm power-steering bracket bolts need to come off the driver-side head, as do two 15mm ground-wire bolts on the back of the head. Ten large and five small head bolts are removed from each side using a 15mm socket on the big ones and a 10mm on the small ones. |
