those fuel economy upgrades will pay for themselves in 1,800,000 miles
Ha ha no they won't. With the way that power cable for the amplifier is run that car is going to end up burning to the ground soon if it hasn't already
@@TA_Plus_Hemi ooo I missed that
I had a fan and a electric water pump. Both went out in 6 months 🙄
Or you can just buy a Chevy Cobalt ss turbo for 5k like I did, with almost twice the HP, run a 13sec 1/4mile like the Camaro should but can't, and last but not least, have a 30+ mpg average
@@aaronmenchinger 13.9 @ 102 mph. It'll take more than $5K to get a used one, and bring it back to there.
The flip phone just dated this video.
The “high fuel prices” dated this video too
and the interlaced video artifacts lol
It's from around 2010, so yeah... there's that.
@@trefontaine well well well
@@trefontaine OH BROTHER
Buddy over here stunting with the flip phone.
This episode is from 2008.
Flip phones are still very popular in Japan, tho.
@Allen Tokyo That's your own but obviously wrong opinion.
Lol that phone. You ain’t gonna see sh!t on that pic lol. And in 2020 it’s damn near impossible to find a 3rd gen that clean. Wow.
Edit: I’m sure cash for clunkers in 09 got rid of a lot of these. I would love to find this exact car in this condition.
not easy to find and when you do they want a bundle,thats why im holding on to mine....
Not that hard, if you know where to look and you don't mind flying into an area to drive it back.
Right this has gotta be 10yrs old...based on that flip phone..or even older
Hahahaha that phone at 2:44
The Real Star of this episode is the now Retro clam shell flip phone it's truly an amazing vintage technology.
Now for the "Bad Boy" or "No Fear"sticker on the rear window.
Ain skert
And calvin pissing on a ford logo or mustang horse logo.
Locally hated sticker and Instagram name
@@vegeto186 what is the deal with those locally hated stickers
Cant finish this job...I need a flip phone
Oh man just like before! Waking up on Saturday morning watching Hotrod shows!
I miss those times. So many damn commercials though. It always seemed like the watchable parts of the episode was like 8 minutes all together. Am I right?
Nept Tune that’s true. It’s nice being able to watch them now without the long commercials.
Dude took a 0.1 megapixel picture with that flip phone. Also, nice one wheel burnout. 😂
That was awesome when Buddy busted out the flip phone.....lol....
The joe elmore years were the best!
Notice the headlight covers are missing after the installation on the dyno
13:06, after the test drive with car on dyno and headlight covers are on
13:32 car still on the dyno but covers are gone
Probably got dark while they were working and the covers came off to drive home at night
Keeping the air injection, LoL
the flip phone sure dates this episode.
so does the whopping 165 horsepower
So does the Accel plugs and wire
Sham_WoW_Guy you can still buy Accel Coils and wires just like them.
@@CamaroAmx but they are garbage now. Back then they weren't.
The real upgrade would be a holley throttle body vortec heads milled to 53cc, express van intake for tbi to vortec heads and a factory lt1 cam.
I was thinking that same thing, those would be a good, cheap & useful enhancements for the ole L03 for sure. Too bad this is like 10+ years old
Sad part is, all those parts were available then. But got to advertise, so, here ya go instead!
Haven't been this early in awhile. 1 view? Noice.
On a seperate note, interested to see this outcome. My '89 Iroc still has the stock 700R4 in it. Looking forward to seeing what all I can do.
EDIT: 2:38 Holy hell. It's been over a decade since I've seen a phone like that out in the wild.
My uncle has one (he has Down syndrome, so a smartphone isn’t a great idea). The good thing about those phones is the battery lasts for days. Bad point: the picture quality was bad (even compared to Polaroids).
@jason9022 that literally makes no sense. It does that for everyone, RUclips just doesn't catch up on views instantly
All of that is for naught without the Dream Catcher on the rearview mirror. LOL
Sweet one wheel peel 😆
My iroc had sat night special torque converter with Tci 700r4 . The electric torque converter lock up switch added helped my mpg.
The converter lock up wiring is a joke. Wont last two weeks
Surefire way to have transmission control issues.
Bro the inside workings of that transmission literally looks like alien technology to me. I thought they were actually joking when they were going over what parts to take out and stuff. Ridiculous.
1. Delete all the emissions stuff if you want to actually improve mpg.
2. You should have used 2 fans flowing over 2,000cfm.
3. Should have put on a better pulley system (that electric water pump is a great choice). That makes a huge difference.
4. Hooker Super-Comp headers and true dual exhaust would have made a big difference as well.
I bet Joe rolls Buddy's "tootsie roll" around in his hand to warm it up then sticks it in the freezer to harden it while Mike runs the camera. 😂😂😂
Anyone else just about die from laughter after they saw the flip phone
Nice Camaro. I like the color and always wanted a model like that one.
I have had several there wiring nightmares and all around crap. Get a 5.0 mustang better car all the way around
2:40 I miss my flip phone! Nostalgia!
Yo shout out to the flip phone crews. Even tho its 2020. Love old school.
It’s 2020 and this dude still has a flip phone😂 but still cool to still see them
That flip phone to take a picture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
164HP? Man, those were desperate times...
20 years ago was a long time
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 yeah but the actual 28 years is longer
took the T-5 (borg&wagner) nd installed the Tremec T-56 (6speed)😎🏁
As a brit, watching them disassemble an automatic gearbox was hella confusing, it was like being introduced to an engine for the first time.
The 700r4 is super easy.once you take one apart its a breeze
Got pulled over for those very same headlight covers when I was like 20 years old in 94. Hah.
scotch locks and the rubber seal on the plug rolled. quality job
Ohhh man you guys double stacked the orange o-ring on the filter. That filter is going to crack.
I think they got it out of there, but never mentioned that everyone should look for the damn thing. Don't worry the grease will kill it though.
****ATTENTION ATTENTION****
THIS SHOW IS 15 YEARS OLD.
THANK YOU
2008.
@@wade998 thanks for clarifying that I was just rounding numbers. Close enough
I believe the technical term is "one wheeler peeler"
One tire fire?
Peg leg?
Shit that made my morning lol
One tire Fire 🔥
Those tbi 305 & 350s had the worst flowing heads. I'd be cool to see a vortec swap.
Any swap, grab a set of the aluminum heads off a Corvette, or some vortec's.
There is no way that all of these Upgrade fit within the $600.00 Budget as stated in the First Episode...
So, are we now at a $2,000.00 Budget?
The $600 budget was the budget for stage 1 upgrades (1st episode)
20 YR OLD VIDEO BUD
Looks like that guys flip phone is as old as the Camaro lol
Not even close. Cell phones were the size of bricks when that camaro was new. My grandfather father had one. Never knew he had a cell phone until after he died in 2008. When we were cleaning out his truck (a 97), we found it under the seat. Never heard him mention it or even use it...
lol 1 wheel peel, or 1 tire fryer lol 12:49
Was this before or after the Great Depression?
5:43 - He didn't crimp the wire. He just put a cap on it. Yeah, that's not gonna do anything, lol
You need to check the accumulator Pistons for wear before reinstalling them. If they wiggle on the shaft the upgrade isn't going to work.
I wonder what the fuel economy/ power would have been with a carburetor?
The Flip Phone was priceless.
That phone @2:40 really shows this episode's age lol
And that trans will go out I promise
>grease inside an Automatic Transmission
enjoy internal clutches failure.
I'm looking for a third gen camaro like this. Good information minus the electric water pump and the B&M Manual Lockup Converter.
they are out there.....
Noticed yall didn't make sure to tell folks to be sure to remove the old O-ring on the filter. Usually remains in the trans. Double o-ring can cause issues and very likely break the filter itself.
Using the date code on the battery from last video (D6) this video is from around april of 2006.
Nice. I want to upgrade the exhaust headers on mines. Open element intake and hedders are next goal
Budget list . . . Synthetic fluids. Rear, trans, engine BLOCK . . . . Which includes oiland cooling. Wetter Water in radiator is BIG . Diet of aluminum intake, water pump, valve covers K+N filter. Max Air pressure in tires and good front AND rear alignment. Smaller diameter / higher Cfm draw fan draws from less of given radiator, leaves more area hot IN the system. Tag in grille blocks more than small fan pulls through.
The flip phone had me laughing
TELL ME YOU DIDN'T JUST USE A PINCH SPLICE. OMG. THIS CHANNEL KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. In 4 months you will have phantom wiring problems that you will be pulling your hair out trying to find.
a stock LS1 in a 3rd gen can get 30mpg while making nearly 400hp with headers and a tune.
Badass burnout lmao 😂
I have a 1991 Z28 with the 305 tune port injection. All of that crap is coming out and a ZZ383 crate motor with a built up 700r4 and 3.73 rear gear posi is going in its place. I know it won't have the fuel economy but it won't be driven daily neither!
Damn that stereo is nice. Where can I get one???
Nice one tire fire!!
Remember when those were kinda quick cars in stock form, my how things changed
Was also one of the best handling when the 3rd gen came out in 82.
Who was crossing their fingers hoping they would leave the filter seal in the transmission? I seriously thought they were going to do it.
Imagine if they explained a damn thing about what they changed in the transmission. Circle jerk over engine details, but then for the transmissions just "here's the mod kit being installed, ok bye".
Good info
3:45 hear that can of pop open lmfao
I miss my 1996 Pontiac firebird ws4, LT1 350 25 mpg @ 330 hp with 500 fpt
If you really want to save fuel throw out the automatic gearbox and install a manual one.
doesn't work like that,i use 2-3 times as much in my stick car
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 I go straight from two to four due to my plucky mini sedan's weird gearing.
This is cool stuff
1 fan when 2 would clearly fit?
You never use grease in transmissions, always vasoline. Never use those shitty, clip in radiator fans and those electric water pumps are not for every day use. If it's overheating, trash the stock radiator and go all-aluminum, 3 core.
That flip phone dates this episode.
Gotta be 2008-2010~
Oh good they preheated the 4 gauge power cable before they even put the cat on. Absolutely genius.
"high fuel prices" didnt age well. The flip phone didnt help either..
Lost me when you used scotch locks!!
@10:41 forgot to remove the seal on the bottle...lol
Awesome job The car looks good
Whats with the half hearted wire connection stuff? Do you know how many think this is ok. Please dont show wiring connections like this.
Or spend the same amount of money on a I4 modern Mustang or Camero better mgp, more horsepower, less emissions, safer, etc.
Won't the tootsie roll contract a little bit when it freezes? Making it an inaccurate read?
Nice how the did not use water proof connections on some the their hook-up, sure it won't cause any issues in the future NOT
Hey Joe Elmor, how about this series but with a Mustang?
The same basic ideas can be used with a fox body as well.
You guys are awesome
23👍's up guys thanks again for taking us all along with you
Love this show
I remember those early 2000s times. Gas prices in 2006 were almost 4 dollars a gallon.
12:50 awkward
IKR?!
not all can have g80/g92 :(
@@Mark-wz1yt true, but a gearset can be had for the price of that electric waterpump. But then, increased rpm for the gearset, decreasing mpg. Simple solution to both problems, as suggested by another commenter, lower number ratio gear and a forced induction setup. Power to pull through the gears, while still getting the mpg. And put the power down to both rear wheels at the same time...
Heck, jacking the timing up from the factory 0 to 8-10 degrees gets a bunch of MPG and power, but lots better off throwing away that throttle body injection system and just going carburetor. And if that's the stock 305, trash it. What an old video.
Them swirl spacers for throttle bodies actually work pretty good but is better in a truck than in a car
actually they dont....
Every time gas gets high there are always a dozen companies coming out with MPG improvers. None of which work. From swirl spacers, turbo fans that go into your intake tube, looping fuel lines, magnetic do dads for your oil filter, ect.
But I just can't seem to find the valve body and kick down switch on my 5 speed manual trans
That's good; you're the kickdown switch
Tb spacers don't do anything for performance, they are a waste of money. Spacers only work on carburetored setups.
My car! Will take a minute to take off when put on drive! But when put on reverse goes immediately! Like when i put on drive nothing happening! My car was sitting for couple years. Any help with be appreciated! Thanks
Are you going too look at the gapping on the rocker assemblies? Push and cam follower replacement?
this isnt an instruction video
So a new fan, but no shroud? A shroud will get better cooling, more so than a bigger fan
An lsd wouldn't be a bad idea.😁👍
What size of belt was installed
You guys really should have mentioned ensuring you remove the old filter seal from the valve body, i see you did it, but some people may not realize the old seal is still in there!
this isnt an instruction video
dat cellphone
Flip phone*
2:38 that flip phone through lol 😂 u know this is from 2007 while we are watching this in 2020 on are iPhones Nd androids
Do some mods on a 4th gen Fbody
