my '01 SS install

[sprintracer]

Well, I thought I would contribute a few pics of my install. It started off as a NX MAF kit until I realized their MAF plates wouldn't work with my aftermarket MAF, so I sold the plate and decided to go with the HSW wet plate (I like their spray pattern the best). And this is how my system ended up.

I agree on the HSW's wet plate kit spray pattern, the best atomizing system out there, bar none of the other plate kits. Those that haven't seen the full 360° spray pattern video, should. If I went the wet route that would be my #1 chioce, outside of DP. I run the same NX Stage 6 noids on my 2nd and 3rd stages, they are trick looking no doubt and add to the total look of the set-up, IMO. Good idea on doing the loom covering. Seems the black look is the bomb these days. A very clean and trick install, not the standard fare and that's what makes it so nice.

What brand are your fuel rails? I am looking to replace my ugly Edelbrock greenish ones with some nice red anodized ones like yours, to match my valve covers. Man your paint is flawless, how do you do it, lol? The car is beautiful and show worthy for sure. Good job.

Once again, Thank You for the compliments! HSW was great to me with whatever questions that I had and once I saw that video, my mind was made up. Eventually, I may turn my system into a 2 stage dry with the assitance of their Interface controller. It should be a pretty easy swap but that's way down the road as I've got too many other projects pending.

I know my system is nowhere near hidden but I did want to make it a little less visible and it's pretty tough to do that with shiny steel braid lines running all over the place. I found some Nylon braided sleeving that I wanted to cover my all of my wires with and decided to cover the lines with it too. I started with the convoluted tubing but it started getting ugly pretty quick and I really wanted something that was diferent that what everyone else was using.

Now for the paint, lots of hard work :wink_smilie: It really helps that the car has really low mileage on it (13,4xx). I polished the car when I first got it but it didn't pop like I wanted it to. So I ended up clay baring the whole and started from scratch with Menzerna products and then topped it off with Midnight Sun carnuba wax.

My fuel rails are the FAST brand. I'm really happy with them but sometimes I wish they were black. Do you have any pics of your rails? Maybe we can work out some sort of a swap. Post some pics of them or shoot me a pm with pics. It pretty tough to tell on the in car pics, but I also had the fuel rail stanchion's anodized black to help match the rest of the install. Here's a couple pics of the intake before I installed as teaser for you :wiggle:

damn, two gorgeous camaros, we'll get along just fine haha, i cant wait till i get my 94 out of paint and body should be real nice, after that one is done i think the 72 is goin in next, what do you have into the motor on the 01? I cant decide which one i wanna do the motor on first, i really wanna do the 94 but dont know yet

[sprintracer]

Just H/C/I, full exhaust (Kooks Lt's & ORY, Corsa). Still the stock short block as it's got only 13k on it so no reason to change it, yet...

[evilbeef54]

ah, real nice looking, im guessing your up in the peoria area, that safeway looks real framilar lol

The pics were taken at 83rd a few weeks ago

What brand is your catch can? and does it actually work to keep the oil out of the intake tract? I am looking to add one in between my PCV because of the loose nitrous motor i have more blow by than standard.
Here's the link to the spray pattern of the HSW plate for those that haven't seen it.

I believe it is a NLP catch can. It seems to work really well so far. But, I don't put a whole lot of miles on it and the car/engine has only 13k on it and blow by has never really been an issue. I put the can on when I first purchased the car and had about 900 miles on it when I first checked it and only found about 3/4 oz of oil in it. When I installed my HSW plate about 600 miles after the first draining there wasn't even enough to cover the bottom of the can. I had to take off my tb to install the plate and was pleasant surprised to find the intake as clean as the day I installed it with zero residue what so ever. There is a piece of foam at the top (looks like red scotch brite) that coagulates the oil and drops it into the bottom of the can and then the engine draws vacuum from the side of the can. I will dig thru my receipts when I get back home tonight and pm you the info along with a reply to your other questions.

[sprintracer]

PM sent with info.

I like it man! Now slam that thing!

I like it man! Now slam that thing!

Thanks! But it is about as low as I want to go for now. I may throw a set of Strano's on eventually.
