Reviving A '98 Camaro Into An Autocross Racer - Horsepower S14, E9

[@tomrodgers6629]

RIP Joe. HorsePower was Must see tv for me. Thank you.

[@OlayerB]

"today we're gonna rebuild an entire car and put a new engine transmission suspension interior and roll cage in it, and we'll show you how!" ....25 seconds later : "alright! we're finished, glad you followed along with us!"

[@harryfp1494]

Yeah that’s commin right up

[@groovymoon]

You forgot the $60,000+ in parts and about another $20,000 in labor. LOL

[@mikes.1882]

Then we take the carn intake off because, well, the car wasn't engineered for carb aspiration, and run an FI to fit, and well, now, you cant quite can't quite afford. Of course, my Nashville baritone matches narration.

[@robyoung2028]

I used to watch horsepower tv in my teens I'm 34 now love this show.

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Why does powernation love putting carbureted engines in autocross cars so much

[@dbowen22]

Because they get paid to.

[@TheSunChaserUS]

Tbh im thinking going Carb or throttlebody EFI just for the easy and clean of wiring, tuning and throttle response

[@loko306]

They will use whatever sponsored parts they get, and that's fine. Nothing wrong..

More reliable I guess

Wow, glad to see this. Makes the front suspension installation easier to understand. Wanted to get full umi for the front but im guessing all bmr front suspension with umi sway bars

[@chucksgarage7165]

RIP Mr. Elmore and Mr. Edelbrock!

[@sheriffen999]

You need to do part 2 now !!!

[@Sergeantgrunt]

So many negative comments about old tech. Well, that's because this isn't new. It's prolly 8 - 10 years old. Joe hasn't been a host for PN for a long time. It's still relevant though, because a lot of people can't afford a 15K build. If done today would prolly be 8K. Kinda fun for a weekend beater.

[@jagisss]

At 9:20 the BMR Crossmember relocates the torque arm NOT the panhard bar.

[@FBobby]

glad someone else caught that.

[@aldo5658]

True

[@1BYEBYE1]

I was gonna say, how the hell is that gonna relocate the panhard bar.

[@darrenchesterton6410]

I always found it funny that they put the latest and best parts for the cars then put in an induction system from 1910.

[@rustyshackleford81]

EFI tuning is boomer kryptonite, I really expected Mike to step in with some new tricks. Perhaps there's less red tape involved in taking factory EFI and going carbureted vs ditching the factory EFI and getting a standalone ECU. The EPA and California laws are really hurting the tuning community. It's not good enough to just slap a sticker on the product and say "for off-road use only"

[@dazzleyd]

i hope you put that Edelbrock blower on the autocross camaro

[@boydnoise4492]

It sure is nice to have sponsors

[@Bojengle]

I love the catfish, probably more than any other car.. LS1 is way under powered in todays terms tho.. dropping a fresh TSP 427 LS7 would have been the way to go IMO. and it needs at least 335 tires for the square if autocross is the desire.

[@thedaredevil1907]

Old episode thing where diffrent 8 to 10 years ago

[@uscfan92879]

you're talking about putting a $23,000 engine in a budget build hot rod. Think about the context of this build vs just throwing the most insane turn key motor you can find on the internet.

[@allbaugh04]

LS1s are affordable and have usable power tho.

[@driveitlikeyastoleit55]

305's are about the widest you can fit without rolling the lip, and those can still rub depending on the back spacing. I'm running 295's on the rear of mine.

[@geoffnelson64]

The ls1 is a slouch? Guess thats news to me. I got a ls6 build in my camaro. Running nitrous this season on 305's. It's like a budget hellcat spanker ls1/ls6 same stuff

[@dylantroutman4363]

They didn't modify the rear end at all????

[@omnipotentone6545]

[@9etherbo]

Rip 🪦 Joe Elmore I had to come back and watch this episode

[@driveitlikeyastoleit55]

The trans crossmember doubles as a panhard bar relocation bracket? I think he meant to say torque arm. Also I don't know why you would want to run a carb instead of fuel injection. You can get more power from fuel injection because of the tuning capability.

[@jeffrobodine1850]

There not allowed to use fuel injection on these cars for this type of race 💯💯👍👍😎

Whatever happened to ole Mike Galley anyway..?

[@daniellobo1680]

I like the Camaro and Trans am but HATE that you have to drop the suspension in order to take the engine out. I've seen one guy take the engine out from the top but it was such a hassle

[@Pbpally]

Its not that much of a hassle. Just took a longblock and trans out together, from the top, at a friends place on a gravel ground with a thin piece of plywood. Took all of 2 and a half hours from a fully dressed car in a garage that left 1 foot of room on each side of the car.

Man if you've got this much money to spend get yourself a C5. These Camaros make fine drag cars though.

[@ai_university]

Autocross build with a roll cage and no extensive aero mods 🤔 something tells me nobody read the autox car classing guide. My STi is making around 700 to the wheels and I don't need a roll cage. Autox is typically less than 80mph anyways, for slow speeds like that you would need huge aero (like a dirt sprinter), which this obviously doesn't have. Why add all the extra weight of the roll cage?

[@mortifersoldat]

it's to stiffen the car. plus, you don't need aero because the speeds never get that high.

[@spokes5201]

It needs a large surface area like the front and rear mounting areas. Idk how a company can go so far to make a nice product and F up one thing making it looked hacked up or you have to modify it yourself
