Hello :)

[Smurf50]

I just joined and figured I would introduce myself. My name is Matt, and I have been driving/modifying performance cars for the better part of 15 years now. Prior to getting my 2009 GT (which is sold) I was a die-hard GM guy....but I can now admit that the cars were poorly manufactured and I am damn glad I did not buy a "5th gen" Camaro!

Prior to my 2009 GT my daily driver was my G35 and my weekend car was my 2000 Trans Am which was only taken out for track days. Currently, I have a 2011 5.0 in Grabber Blue :)


Out of curiosity, does anyone know a black 5.0 that hangs out in Frisco around the Hillcrest area? Sounds like full exhaust, didn't notice any cams or anything else...want to see what headers they opted for :)

Welcome man! Welcome to the good side. Haha

More info on the black car? Like runs or anything. It may either be Nicolas (Midnight11) or Jeff (BLK2012GT)

[Smurf50]

No more info pertaining to runs or anything... I hear it running through my neighborhood frequently and I think they are visiting someone who used to (or might still own) a C6 GrandSport...

I must say I do like the GT (I mean it's my third one now....so yea :p) The change from the 4.6 to a SC 4.6 was amazing...then I moved up to the 5.0 and it was almost a whole different realm of badassery!

Welcome, you live in Frisco I see. Do you like to drink a lot?

[Smurf50]

I honestly don't drink that much, but I am fond of a nice whisky on the rocks!

Well the car looks great, and sounds pretty damned nice! I have just started to work on mine, but since the 5.0's seem to require a tune with ANY mod I want to do, I am saving up to just do a crap-ton all at one :p

You can do exhaust and some intakes without a tune. But to get the most out of an intake, you need a tune.

[Smurf50]

Yea, I have my exhaust already done....actually did the second part of it yesterday. If I put on headers, I would need a tune since I would be going with an OR pipe. Isn't the C&L CAI the one you can run without needing it tuned? (Obviously the tune would be beneficial)

[Midnight11]

I put my headers on tomorrow!

[Smurf50]

I put my headers on tomorrow!

Very nice! I can't wait to hear it with the headers! Mine is obnoxious with what I currently have on there...and if I go headers I am thinking I might go with catted ones just for legality...

[DirtyD]

Yeah C&L has their Venturi tube, but even then, it's only minimal. I'm running a K&N with the canned SCT stock air box tune now, and no tune before that. Haven't had a problem yet.
