OK so I'm full of questions today. Do you have T-tops? My import buddies keep telling me not to get the BMR suspension upgrades and to go with the G2 STB/engine brace, and double diamond SFC's because I've got T-tops. What do you think?
well IMPORT buddies.... ya i have import buddies but dont listen to them cuz they dont have camaros.....if u wanna spend the extra cash on g2 stuff then do.....bmr is awsome...

i have a black stb for sale....maybe.....

but ya just get bmr it has nothing to do with ttops

That's why I was asking because an Integra driver doesn't really know how a Camaro handles. I'm not dissing BMR at all, I've been shopping them for a while now, but haven't really gotten any good advice from an actual Camaro driver yet. My Integra buddy seems to think that since I have T-tops that I need the 3-point SFCs rather than 2-point.

BTW, how on earth did you fit 3 12's in your trunk? I saw that one pic you have but I couldn't really see the whole set-up. I helped put my subs in and it was tough squeezing 3 10's in that tiny little space. And I'll admit I don't know what you're talking about when you said I need a cap. Where can I get one?

for the ladies...

Check out www.raceher.com for women seriously into drag racing..

ok.. now that i did that shameless plug, to address the originator of this post...
I for one think you are going about this the right way.. I actually have had 2 different dyno runs.. Will be at the track this Jan 6th (gotta love Texas with year round racing!) and have scheduled to rent out a dyno for personal use in one week.. its not cheap but I am hard headed and want answers to things that go on car..


The print out sometimes includes the air fuel ratio.. you will want to make sure you get that since it helps you see if you are too rich, too lean or just right.. (I watched a Ferrari 550 dyno and it was flawless.. stayed perfect throught the pull that was just sweet to see and hear!)

Go BMR

Personally the G2 stuff is over priced.

I have all BMR and Lakewood stuff on my car

I'd like to second that comment about BMR and Lakewood. Those are the brands for me too. Quality stuff for the right price.

Maybe I misunderstand, but it sounds like your friends are telling you not to strengthen your car because you have T-tops...
Well if that is so, then they are way off base. When you have T-tops it is all the more reason to strengthen your car's structure and suspension because there is less strength to start with in a car with roof modifications. A car that is less rigid will not only handle less consistently, but they also tend to develop creaks and rattles sooner in life. Prevent this by getting your subs first, then proceed to a STB, then go crazy with the rest of your suspension mods.
Good luck
Dave

3 pts = More weight and clearance problems
