looking good tony,im dialing in my own third gen (1986 trans am-stripper model.zero option) i just picked up an L31 vortec 5.7 super clean,an LT4 roller cam,headers,edlebrock rpm intake, holley ultra 650,set of bbs lm 18" x 8" and 9" rims,IROC wonderbar,umi adjustable panhard, umi torque arm and isolated mount,edlebrock rear control arms,etc.its a long journey to get were we want to be,isn't it.
Thanks for posting the videos...What do you suggest upgrading first, : Wonder Bar - Center Link or Front Sway Bar...I have an 84 z28..Looking to do one by one upgrades....Great Videos...Big Fan ...
Thank you I really appreciate it. I guess you could do the center link if you wanted. If I was going to do the wonder bar and away bar again I would do them at the same time since they mount to the same locations. If you add one before the other you will have to remove it again to install the other. Just my thoughts
Your car is going to be one bad machine. I wish I would have kept my 85 IROC. watching your videos makes me realize what I should have done to it. I’m ready to see those install videos!!
they are cheap enough to re-acquire,no point in looking backwards as it hurts ,wastes time and accomplishes zero.ive seen rollers and complete cars from $300-$1500 that need work and better cars cost more obviously.my point is there is not a single point in wallowing in regret of what has been done.ive owned 6-7 third gens and now i have a keeper.if i allow myself to i can think of an abundance of regrettable decisions but i try to learn from them and move on.
So many options but performance wise an engine swap would be best. When I pulled my v6 and trans out I sold it for 600 and that plenty enough to get you a decent v8
Definitely engine swap. If u wanna keep it matching numbers, i would do an upgraded carb/efi system, and get a head-back true dual exhaust system built for it with a flowmaster muffler
Austin Harmon no not yet. I have the nylon line. I will switch eventually though. I don’t want to deal with the chances of leaks or kinks in the nylon line
Great video thanks brother. I like the upgrades again. Jeggs is good for something's Summit for about anything. We run power steering coolers on the race trucks. Summit has been very good to us. I think at first when we told them they were going on racing semi trucks it was a shock. Really like there customer service and the others there. We got some stuff for the pulling tractor there also. I think people just think they are for Performance cars and pickup trucks. Summit has came through with everything we have needed. I can't wait to see your car transform into what you want. Great research on parts and great parts going to make a difference. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother. Sorry I rambled on but I just wanted to say that. The pulling tractor has a Detroit 60 series two turbos. We called Summit for a waist gate and they came through for us. We was pushing 170 boost on both sides of the cold air intake. We had to take some of that away to much boost is just as bad as not enough.
Scott Pearson TOOLS &MORE very true. I completely agree. They have great customer service and almost always have exactly what I need. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts and experiences with them

TonyTheTechnician Appreciate the response...The Center Link & Wunder Bar will both in together...Love your videos 👌
@@sikanderdhillon4326 thanks I appreciate it 👍
I just bought a iroc 84 stock 305carb.
Will these mods be okay with my stock car?
Yes absolutely. It's all the same for the most part.
@@TonyTheTechnician Cool, Thanks man!

Where did mount the trans cooler?
*where did you mount the trans cooler
nice stuff
Thank you 👍
Hello sir fine post. The money all adds up pretty quickly.
Martin Schaffmeir thank you. And yes it does for sure
I have a iroc im working on and yes the cost add up fast. Especially when u dont use cheap parts
Looks like your project is starting to come together.
Xander Smith yes indeed. Little by little
Wht should i upgrade first on a v6 automatic 84 Camaro
So many options but performance wise an engine swap would be best. When I pulled my v6 and trans out I sold it for 600 and that plenty enough to get you a decent v8
Definitely engine swap. If u wanna keep it matching numbers, i would do an upgraded carb/efi system, and get a head-back true dual exhaust system built for it with a flowmaster muffler
Hope you run copper line for the oil pressure.
Austin Harmon no not yet. I have the nylon line. I will switch eventually though. I don’t want to deal with the chances of leaks or kinks in the nylon line
I'm in the process of building my own true dual exhaust with electric cutouts.
Very nice. I was going to do cutouts but decided against it. Maybe later on
Nice upgrades the sway bar should help that suspension system out. Hope all is well
John Gibson all is well thank you. I hope your doing good as well.

they are for performance parts,just like jegs.
Starting to rebuild my stock 84 3rd gen. Thank you for your video, it's given me a lot of inspiration to get working.
Martin Davenport thank you that’s great to hear!!!
