Hold You to the Road
The factory-issue Z28 five-spokes are timeless and were outfitted with Goodyear GT rubber, measuring 225/60R15 at the bow and 255/60R15 at the stern. Stopping power comes via standard-issue front disc/rear drum arrangements. The SSBC calipers and Master Power rotors were added up front for improved stopping.
Underbelly
Handling chores under the Camaro are assigned to a set of tubular front control arms, Edelbrock shocks, a special 14:1 steering gear, and a 111/44-inch front bar. For better bite under acceleration, a set of Competition Engineering traction bars has been added.
Acrylic & Chrome
Aesthetically, Tony's Auto Restoration in Corona, California, fogged six coats of Hugger Orange and topped it off with two bright white stripes over the mirror-straight body. They even custom-fabricated the hood for added clearance, giving the supercharger ample room.
Interior Furnishings
Tony's Auto Restoration assembled a custom ABS composite instrument cluster that hosts a complete set of Auto Meter gauges monitoring engine temperature, fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, vehicle speed, and engine rpm. The Summit high-back buckets are wrapped in black leather and provide improved seating over the factory pieces. The steering wheel is a Grant item custom-fitted with a Camaro horn button.

Larry wanted a truckload of power on tap, so he enlisted the help of Jerry Stettler of Ace Machine in Riverside, California, to assemble a potent 360ci small-block. Inside is a standard 350-stroke (3.48-inch) with a 4.060-inch bore.
Up top, the mighty bullet incorporates a pair of AFR 210cc cylinder heads, including a Comp Cams 'stick sporting 0.510/0.520 inch lift, 230/236 degrees duration measured at 0.050, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a Speed Demon 750-cfm carburetor, and 9:1 SRP slugs.
For added power the engine is force-fed huge amounts of atmosphere through a Vortech centrifugal supercharger unit. Shifting errands are assigned to a Tremec TKO-600 five-speed close-ratio with ratios spaced at 2.87-, 1.89-, 1.28-, 1.00-, and 0.64:1.
The original 8.5-inch 10-bolt secures a cog yielding a 3.73:1 quotient assembled by Jim Cook Performance of Ontario, California. Scott Brown from Van Gordon and Brown Performance in Claremont, California, installed a special cold air-intake box, a Griffin radiator, an Edelbrock high-volume water pump, an MSD 160-amp alternator, a Tilton high-torque starter, and dual Spal cooling fans.
