Some cool new photos from a dyno day of the Kalis/DC camaro...

[phillym5]

So since the camaro has found its new home in SoCal... i have been driving it A LOT... and driving hard.

I had Tony G and Shadowman retune the car... and it has been unbelievable. Here are some pics i saw from the meet. Also a couple random cruising photos.

Dyno Dynamics dyno she put down over 800rwhp and 780ft lbs tq... with a clutch that was slipping bd enough it was smoking and stinking!! lol.
Just for fun we "tried" 11 lbs... she made 760ft lbs at 3k rpm at the tire before the clutch just gave up lol.

Thinking about getting a mcloud clutch this time.
The 10.5 Ram Twin Disk did its job well... 10+k miles of pretty hard miles at about 1000hp... so no complaints.

She out handled a Ferrari 599 with a very good driver through the canyons... and in a straight line killed a 600rwhp 740rwtq ZR1, 600+rwhp Z06, and a 800 rwhp(with slicks) 2000 F1 Pro Charged Camaro!! :thumbsup:

Car looks great. Wish I would have gotten to see when it was in MI. Guess it's hard to beat the SoCal weather.

Josh,
How high do the iat get while just cursing around?

The flame shooting out of the pipe is sweet.

Can't wait to see your car at cars and coffee in irvine.:thumbsup:

Im not sure... The last time it was logged was by Tony.. and it was a non issue.. so we didn't discuss it any further. I guess i could log it and let you know. I do know that when the car is cruising or idling for a while.. you can put your hand on the intake(post throttle body) and the intake tubes(pre throttle body).. and they are both cool to the touch.

I plan on being at the Irvine Cars and Coffee this Saturday. As long as the clutch allows it... but its still pretty drivable 1st through 3rd.. but if i hammer down in 4th.. she likes to slip a bit.

Biggest issue my car has... we used the wrong primer on the car.. so the paint is lifting in places.... And im running out of cool looking stickers to cover the bubbles!! :lol: I have two new ones on the sail panel. :mad:

Its only a matter of time before i will have to strip her down and give her some new paint. But this time i don't have the shop to do it myself... so i have to pay. :faint:

Next time though..... no stripes!! I think DC got enough play off it!!
Maybe i'll write a proposal to a shop. We can paint their logo on it in return for a new paint job!!

Best of Show?? Dick... you reading this?? !!:D :cheers:

I want to take this chance to hijack this thread and give Josh some loooong overdue props for being a great representative for DC and his sport. My son is a skater and I was looking for some posters, etc when I was re-doing his room. I sent Josh an email, and it would have been easy for him to stop with "sorry, I don't have any posters" but he didn't. He sent out a variety of decals, a hoodie, a hat, and a killer backpack for Roy. Josh is now my son's favorite skater, and DC is by far the favorite of all of us in this household. Kudos to you, Josh, you are a class act!

Cool... im glad he got the stuff. With the changes that have been going on.. you never know if the shipping lady actually sends it. Im glad it went smooth!! lol.

Where are the plates?
Plate is in the rear window. I made the car with no plate because i figured at the speed i was going to be driving her... a plate isnt going to save my ass from going to jail. But it all worked out... so i made a plate holder that sits on the rear deck. Cops don't like it... but i rarely get hassled for it.

Awesome photos. Definitely one of my favorite camaros.
Thanks!

Yooo... The subframe is so good. The car is actually at the shop right now getting a new clutch put in. This shop said today that they think your subframe is actually better than one of your extremely well known competitors. So that coming from them REALLY means something in my eyes. I can sit here all day and tell people why i like it... but coming from them.... well... thats legit!

Car looks incredible Josh. Keep posting man I love this thing :thumbsup:

Thanks... and i will keep posting. Sometimes i tend not to post.. because the stories arent your typical "cone race" stories... they are more street friendly ones.. but i will keep them coming! :cheers:

I should have known a 160 MPH speedo wouldn't be enough! Next time we'll have to do a GPS speedo:thumbsup:
