Thanks to Meziere and AFCO, All Air will keep its cool without lugging around a lot of excess weight, and we know that we’ve got dependable components that won’t require a lot of attention or maintenance; always a plus when you’re hustling in the pits between rounds.
Exhaust systems don’t have to be an afterthought when you’re shoe-horning a massive powerplant into a cramped stock engine bay. Exhaust header master builder Dan Lemons, of Lemons Headers, explains how performance and fit can work together for exceptional performance on the track.
When it came time to pick a transmission for our All Air Camaro project car, we wanted one that would work for serious drag racing and could be mounting behind any engine combination that we could hang in front of it. The GM Powerglide is a tried and true gearbox for the track with its simplicity and toughness.
Because this is a serious drag car build – we’re shooting for low nines – we needed to be equally serious about how the engine and transmission mated up to the chassis. Having a ton of power isn’t worth a damn if all it does is rip the motor mounts out, so we turned to Madman & Co. Racing for a motor plate setup.
Our All Air Project Camaro is up in the air on the lift, so that can mean only one thing – more progress is imminent! We don’t want to keep you waiting too long for the update, so we thought we’d tease you with some shots of what we’ll be working on next.
We have installed a complete BMR front suspension system on the F-body, but that’s a completely different article where we give you ALL of those details. This is just an update… so enjoy.
While we intend to reign over the other carb engine cars on the track, we know that having the brawn to stop is essential to a good safe run. For this Herculean task, we hand-picked the Wilwood Brakes Dynalite drag race rear axle kit and the newly released Dynapro big brake front hat kit.
When it came time to select a monster LS engine to cram under the hood of our 2000 Camaro, nicknamed “All Air” because of our desire to run naturally aspirated low 9′s, we did a lot research. World Products is known for making big power with their big LS engines.
The only project car that was drivable in our shop is V6 Camaro project “All Air”, well that was until yesterday. The perfectly running V6 and stock 4L60E transmission was pulled to make way for the World Products LSX 454 monster that will nearly double the cubic inches over the V6.
Our latest weapon of choice is a 2000 Chevy Camaro, dubbed Project All Air. Our goal is to show you, our viewers, how to build, step-by-step, a 9-second naturally aspirated LS-powered vehicle without super exotic parts. Most 9-second NA Camaros are built under the veil of secrecy. Not Project All Air.
