Started my 305 today... drove it around the block, now I just finished crying long enough to watch your video. Great work on the car, awesome production quality of the video. I'm going to go back to crying now.

[@jonathanhudson4623]

My 89 tpi305 formula with an auto was entertaining for a bit as a 14.2 second car. I built a full race stroker 383 (eagle forged bottom end, JE forged pistons, dart heads etc )and after frying a race built th350 with a 3200rpm stall, I converted the car to a t56 from an LT1 Camaro. It was built to take alot of nitrous but still be brutal NA. If you plan to actually daily the car keep in mind not to over build it. My car is damn fun but if you cant drift you wont be able to keep it on the road. Efi makes it alot easier to drive but if you do a carbed build expect it to be a bit of a bitch on the road. Efi with a manual helps alot with big power in the street.

[@snflupigus]

Hudson well if I do anything more to mine it will be along the lines of Matt but without the sc. A basic stock 5.3 would make me happy enough if I could commute in it occasionally not having to always drive my '15 Sierra Z71. I've never been too into drag racing, but did have a blown 5.9 crewcab Dodge Dakota sleeper that ran a 14.2.

[@jonathanhudson4623]

@@snflupigus I fully understand going LS. I was 16 (2000-2001) when I built the stroker 383 and converted it to a t56 . When I did that, my 02 ws6 TransAm (my daily) hadn't even been built yet. When I built the 89 formula everyone on 3rdgen,org told me I'd never be able to get headers big enough for my 383 to fit with the t56. I used a set of hedman headers and didnt have to trim much of the 3 bolt flange or notch much of the bell housing. I used to drag race before I got too sick to work on the car all the time. I did install the headers and catless y-pipe on my 02 in 95 degree heat with the car on jack stands, with staples holding my stomach closed from my ribs to my waist line and later on in the same kind of heat I installed my nitrous kit with blood poisoning. Fear of dieing before you finish a goal is a hell if a motivator. I'm doing a 5.3 swap in my 2000 zr2 s10 with a turbo. It's the L33 aluminum block 5.3. My truck is on torsion bars and the L33 weighs basically the same as the iron block 4.3 that came in it. The turbo is just because I've always had a thing about having excess power. My 87 k5 blazer will likely end up with a 6.0, if not a stroker 383 built from its stock 350, with a bottle for alittle kick. I'd rather have the extra power and not need it than need it and not have it. That TBI350 damn sure ain't cutting it. The L33 woukd be a great choice for a 3rd gen. They came with 799 heads which us the same casting as the 243 heads on the ls6. Find an ls6 intake from a 01-02 ls1 f-body and a set of headers and you'd be cooking ass. Sorry about the long reply.

[@snflupigus]

nice builds. I hope you're feeling better now. Building cars in AZ is a winter sport it can be 120+ in my garage here. My current focus is a '73 914, no idea for engine choice yet but the stock 2.0 and efi might go back in due to rising values of Porsche cars and parts. I just got a 2015 Sierra z71 as a daily, and have what it replaced, an '02 Tacoma. The Camaro just keeps coming in last in terms of budget priority, but watching Matt's videos does all it can to change that order! Baby due in 2 weeks puts a pause on all of it.

[@snflupigus]

@Richard Skipper well, streetable and able to commute in are two different things. 305 has heads cam rockers intake headers wideband ebl etc... I want smooth power modern power, not lopey idle pushed to limit 305. Better to have slightly modded LS for drivability.

[@trapspotcustoms627]

LSA for the win! You killed it brother beautiful build with impressive #'s

[@HeadFlowInc]

Sticking at the 600 rwhp should make it live longer especially if it has Gen 3 internals. Nice results!!! 👍

[@johnsalary5188]

I love it but not true any well rounded ls man knows he hasnt even reach what that 5.3 will hold even if its on stock bottom end

[@mr.merica6048]

Thay 5.3 can go about 800hp with no problems that's if your not always romping on it every single day with out changing the oil all the time

[@jesseison-bowman3964]

Man you busted your ass on this build. A lot of high level stuff. I am a decent tech and freely admit that you are on another level! Great work. This car is freaking nice and really something to be proud of. Looking forward to more videos on the Trans Am. Thanks for all of the detail and all of your hard work bro!

[@thedailyz8716]

This is one of the two cars inspiring my current 86 builds, I just want to thank you for doing these videos, keeps me pushing on all my 6 third gens and new ones to come.

[@averagealliance1990]

I was never into older camaros but man that shit is CLEEEAANN AF bro

[@G-reg313]

Hard work paid off, way to represent 3rd gens! I'm still old school with the engine. I have a 406 with a d1sc procharger with a 200 4r trans with the brembo brake conversion front and back and strange 12 bolt rear end and Holley hp efi .Nice build my man! Keep it up, and you are very knowledgeable.

[@MrRondeezzee]

I have a 91 rs in the garage collecting dust. You got me wanting to dust it off.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

looks like you don't need it or want it,let me know were to pick it up

[@williammercer6905]

I love this car, and the workmanship you've done. It's perfect!

[@JohnDOE-ho3ht]

That is awesome! Nice build. Looks and sounds great. I love how it seems everyone can get all this custom work done and make things work. I cannot get even dealerships to fix standard OEM problems correctly. Fml!

[@drewwithamericansouthdesig9288]

This car is perfect in my opinion. My first camaro was a '91 RS. Seriously love the way the car looks, runs, and sounds. Good work man.

[@jolmeaki]

My father would love this camaro. He had an 82 and 88. Though his had the weak 305 in it.

[@6gendj584]

My 91 was 305 also😕

[@CODE-BROWN]

Honestly didn't expect to see such a clean Camaro example with NY plates on it. Your car is beautiful! LSA swapped cars are showing up in my sub feed because of my interest in the GTO and an LSA combo. lol

[@johnhenry267]

The 3rd generation camaro is the best looking and you gave it the muscles that they couldn't back in the 90's! Hell muddyfunkin yeah! Clean whip!

[@ghc_gto_6.0]

So many bald eagles!!! I love your car , the build, and the outcome this far. I too have a camaro it’s a 89’ I’ve been working on since 05’ same color as yours 5speed. Hopefully one day it’s as nice as yours . Watching your videos really did inspire me to continue building my car . For a while that desire to complete was fading away but ever since I’ve subscribe and watched your videos I’m back at it!!! All the way over here in Cali!! Hope too see more videos!!!

[@ikeybmg]

That's the sickest 90s style camaro I've ever seen I swear. It's freaking gorgeous and fast. I've never wanted one until seeing this one

[@tylernewbury7288]

Oh my God that LSA blower wine 😍😍😍

[@loong111]

Totally nailed the stance, wheels, backspacing.

[@garysmith4218]

Sick!!! Great build and keep up the good work! You have one of the best builds for that body style I've seen! 👌👍

[@Joshuapsalm]

That blower wine is soo bad ass. That car is a dream..

[@masonl8128]

Goddamn how badass would've been to sport outside senior year in 92 with this sitting in parking lot waiting, such a sweet ride you've built my man!

[@rodneyyazzie3739]

Dude that sounds sweet, good to see all the hard work, pay off for you. Just watch out fo the deer on the road.

[@myroadtours6147]

Nice. This is the setup GM should have installed originally back in the 90's!

[@kevinjordan6073]

The best part is who clean it is great job Matt

[@jimscobie6646]

Mahk would say "Your problem is, it's a Chevy. " lol Sharp lookin'

[@karag6556]

My fav year of Camaro body styles, such a really nice car!

[@ramonalvarez8559]

Beautiful Gen 3 Camaro. Makes me want to find one and build it myself. I am a huge fan of Gen 3 Camaro since I was a kid. I used to help my dad fix body work on a z28. One day I will find one and build it myself. Great work!

[@adambrooks2297]

I swear if you didn't say it was a lsa 5.3 ls I would think it was a Coyote in her! That 5.3 lsa sounds great,runs great great job man! Thinking about lsa blowing my 06 gto!

[@BobSmith-ww9rp]

Wow, you built the Beast of the 3rd gen. Enjoy it. I wish I could do something like that. Good job.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

i am doing it,why cant you.learn to plan,save,work hard and be patient and learn.i hate paying people to do things on my car that i can do myself

[@BobSmith-ww9rp]

no place to work on my car, saving up to get a house with a garage.

[@carlosgavino6874]

Wow just wow the rear badging lsx (bowtie) so sick as well as the entire car deffinatley a neck breaker awsome ride

[@larrylamb3480]

Bad ass Camaro . Always liked that year and body style ! You did a great job and the motor winds out very strong ! Just be careful !!!!!

[@michaelmci7778]

Bra I subscribed a month ago bc I bought a 05 z71 'burban. Then I started looking for blower installs for the 5.3 and low and behold. Love the content.

[@95TurboSol]

Might be the nicest older Camaro i've seen, nice work!

[@vortecturbo]

And just for the record you are 100% correct on Mustang dynos. I have so many people try to help me about it but you speak the truth just like I've said with many people over the years Mustang dynos are the most accurate they match the track time and mile per hour

[@gonzo350]

This is AWESOME! Congrats Matt! EXCELLENT job!

[@orionkunselman6039]

I know that kits are made for the newer mustangs that essentially run a ~1” tube through the firewall that connects the intake to the cab, but is capped off on the cab end with a thin plastic cap that lets sound through really well, you might check and see if you can find one that works for your application

[@bluecollarnobody4217]

Love that whine

[@edgardovigo1012]

This car is beautiful , love the corvette wheel. Take good care of this machine

[@johnnygride2118]

Absolutely bad ass Z28 nice job dude you did that thing just right the C5 rims look very clean good choices ...

[@danfriesen4417]

Sweet ride ! Looks fantastic, sounds killer. Nice job ! Love the fact that it's a stick car too.

[@DaylyDriverDayly]

great video man! Really enjoy the content. The car is a beast! Would love to see some more driving and outside clips of the car driving by. You are lucky to have that beauty. Keep up the great videos

[@LockSportsman]

Congrats! It’s been a long road but looks like all of the hard work has definitely paid off.

[@isaacnichols12]

Respect to the build. Solid car

[@wesco123]

Magnificent work man. Lovely machine 👌

[@gumbasia]

Phenomenal ride! I thought the car was perfect in your earlier videos but I was wrong! Seriously, this car is amazing!

[@techjunkie4786]

I’d recommend you go with a Strange 12 bolt. They have excellent torque arm set ups for 3rd and 4th gen Camaros, and you can’t beat a 12 bolt for efficiency/drivetrain loss, weight, and durability for most applications.

[@Syrus54]

200hp gain from JUST A TUNE!?!?! Cant wait to see the LSA Numbers now !

[@johndoe-zd9lb]

sweet ride, now to look through all your vids to see where you got those seats and carbon fiber intake tubies...lol

[@jayyoutube8790]

Beautiful car. This is what they should of been new. Love that color. I had an IROC when I was in HS (98) that looked close to this. I loved that car. It had an LT-1 and sounded great and had a lot of mods (shaved door handles, sound system with MTX 12”s and the dual white stripes up the hood) but it just kept falling apart, and being 17-18 years old, I didn’t wanna mess with it. Boy I regrets selling it tho. I got around $8000 out of it at the time, and I was going to collage soon.

[@6gendj584]

This thing is beautiful 👌mis my 91 teal RS.... love the swap also!

[@samduran5180]

Nice set up, who needs a new car from a dealer. The real deal here!!

[@01ZO6TT]

Awesome car sir! Very nicely done. This makes me want to start on my 86 Iroc.

[@tyronnecausey3363]

Man you did your thing on this car.

[@astonmarjo]

Dude not only does she Sound great, She looks great as well. Awesome build 🤙🤙🤙

[@glennlandry7714]

Sweet looking Z28!

[@Rangertomcat97]

3rd gens were never my favorite, but I've seen a few cool ones. This is by far the cleanest and most tastefully done 3rd gen I've ever seen. Honestly congrats dude it's a sick ride.

[@robbiejones4933]

Super sweet ride love the color

[@brown723369]

Good job on building your monster of a car

[@Turbogto_guy]

Awesome. Sounds like it runs pretty damn good! On the exhaust, I have a really good idea for you that works. I had a 4” mufflex system on my third gen. I necked it down going right into a stock 2002 ss camaro muffler. Left the factory tail pipe coming out the driver side. On the passenger side I made s block off plate and cut the tail pipe off right at the muffler and welded the block off plate on there to cap it off. Then at that 90 degree turn over the axle Going into the muffler, I cut a hole right there in the turn so the exhaust didn’t have to make the turn. I put a 3.5” pipe going to s cutout and then after the cutout I necked it down to fit the factory exhaust tip. Super quiet when cruising. Then nasty when I want it.

[@lsxmatt]

That’s what I was thinking of doing. Just maybe using a quiet flowmaster on one side, then the cut out on the other.

[@Turbogto_guy]

LsxMatt not sure there’s a such thing as a quiet flow master. A walker quiet flow or a hooker max flow would be better choices.

[@charlesmares4143]

Damn! @ 9:39 even the tree freaked when that baby roared!!

[@jerryraycrane]

Beautiful 3rd gen great build and now a new sub

[@garylee7945]

Absolute beautiful camaro!

[@MotoMedicine904]

This is just outright beautiful.

[@916chevyboy]

Im a camaro guy in Cali! Nice ride man... Lookin to do the lsa swap on my 98 camaro

[@cfrank925]

Wow thanks for the vid! I have an lsa blower that I picked up but don't want to get a 6.0 built for lower compression or pay 2k when a 5.3 will meet my power needs based on your dyno read out for $1k.

[@chevyboy37]

Wows, very nice bro, badass camaro. Great job my friend, love it.

[@crx350x1]

god damn that's beautiful. should've never sold my 91 1LE

[@edwardvanhoose6764]

Im obsessed with 3rd gen camaro's love the car. Thanks for awesome video

[@MartinHernandez-hl3ke]

What color ia that ? . Its beyond awesome

[@Keegan_Lynch]

Curiosity has gotten me here. I am curious if the lsa adapter will work for all gen 5.3’s or just certain years

[@dan3510]

I’m a huge IROC fan and I’m all about opening up sports cars on the highway, but man, trust me, you can’t be launching on those side streets with parked cars. You’re going to take out a kid on a bike coming out between those cars. I don’t care how good you you are, you can’t jump to the brake from gas on a launch in time. Keep promoting the sport and especially those 3rd gens, just please find a safer spot to perform.

[@NCTL05]

Nice looking gen 3.

[@bighomie4124]

Awesome build man! Nice job

[@DavonSK8]

Thinking about using the GT500 m122 for my tahoe because barely any blower whine with lsa.

[@Nowforever13]

I love that shade of blue... do you know exactly what shade it is? I'm wanting to do a gran sport white with a blue stripe paint job and i think this blue would look great!

[@toodanderson351]

Get a set of ccw's to top it off. Sick build man.

[@2279mann]

turned out to be pretty nice!!

[@teamgmotorsports]

Bro, get the Strange S60! I have one and it’s indestructible, just such a sweet piece! So much stronger than the 8.8, stronger than a 12 bolt and a 9 inch too! I’m telling you brother, from personal experience, get the strange S60, it’s worth every penny and even the extra 15lbs;)

[@bowtierj]

Man this car is beautiful!!!!!

[@ksykes902]

Beautiful car man, so you should still be burning out at like 60 miles an hour right?

[@jasonscott6731]

Great job man, she sounds amazing!! Boost is fun!

[@georgeshammas1914]

I see this car all over staten island, and at the teleport car show, super nice!

Don't understand why folks give thumbs down on this.....haters man.

[@BANANAHAMMER420]

Absolutely beautiful 3rd gen camaro brother!!!! Got to say that is a dream car for me. Great work hope to see more....guess I need to hit that sub and bell button then!! ...just subbed...👊😎

[@swappedoutZ71]

Looks brand new. Wow. I have a 5.3 getting bored to 5.7 using ls1 rotating assembly, would love to throw the lsa on. How much was it altogether to get the lsa up there?

[@reallylow76]

god damn your car is fucking clean

[@trudad03]

Hey buddy. you have been a big help to me by helping me build my iroc and want to thank you man.where did u get you blower setup

[@chemicalspore]

Imagine if you bored that iron block out to a 5.7. No replacement for displacement

[@lsxmatt]

Im probably going to a 6.0 next. Just taking this 5.3 as far as I can.

[@chemicalspore]

@@lsxmatt nice man, I'm not sure if you watch any of my videos but I'm about to do my 1st build with a Friend this weekend on my 02 SS

[@crackerbuzz]

Hi Matt, I am running a similar setup... I am nearly finished, but am considering how wild it will get. Are you running anything for traction control or just sticky tyres? If so what width tyres are you running and how do you find the control,... Is she dangerous?

[@christopherchavira2948]

She is a beautiful work of art! Like & sub. About the blower wine I saw a dude run a rubber hose from the intake to the inside of his car? I’m with you on the wine I think it sounds so good...

Walbro made in USA will last about 5000 miles. Walbro made in China will last about 3 hours or 5 minutes. I've been through three GSL 392 inline pumps that were installed correctly. I'm installing a Deatshwerks DW 250 IL pump and will post up the results.

[@lsxmatt]

Is it just a problem with the 400’s, or all Walbro’s? Ive never had a problem with their 255’s.

[@generalsixty2133]

I don't know about that. My first Walbro was from Fuelpumps.net and they are all about genuine made in USA. Worked great at 43 PSI for about 5000 miles then lost pressure at any load above idle. Then I purchased two from Amazon and they shit the bed really quickly. DW is made in Oklahoma and their website gives me confidence. 3 year warranty so they stand behind their pumps. China hasn't fucked up Deatshwerks ........yet.

[@jamarjohnson1595]

My man I'm loving that car specially that blue but lawwwd listen to that engine... Me personally it's perfect 👌

[@thesouthernlife4061]

Hands down my fav maro love the blue I have to build me one

[@MRJ520]

Why not use the factory hood? That one looks ok but my opinion...factory look (sleepers) is always best!

[@lsxmatt]

The stock hood wont close with the supercharger.

[@85gbody97]

For a 322 cubic inch motor that’s impressive.

Love that car! Had a black 91 z, makes me miss her. One day I'll have another and wanna sleep swap of course
