Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

I just got back home. Didn't feel to good earlier but once I got in the car and took off I was kinda like .
Took Ems for a ride and stopped at the gas station and hit the pass. side cutout. This will take some getting used to. Car still needs a few kinks worked out such as jerks sometimes when shifting. And Kyle, when I stopped at the gas station, it did that funny shake. And then when I started the car, it was idling higher than norm. I've noticed that when I downshift, it is more agreeable than just braking. If I just hit the brakes, it seems to take more time to idle down. And then there is that funny vibration underneath me off and on. It will be very hard to get the car down my road cause it wants to stall under 10 mph. and I don't want to ride the clutch either. Wish they would just pave it and be done with it.
So just a few kinks to work out. But I must tell you, Hills came up to GR to follow me home cause I wasn't feeling that great. She was behind me and I called her to tell her something and she said I wasn't going fast enough (which was true) cause I was going under the speed limit. So as soon as I hit the stop sign and turned left, I gave it some gas and it flew. I have wings. I left Hills Waaaayyyyy behind.
The car was definitely turning heads tonight. Sounds great and Kyle did a fantastic job.
I do have a few vids of the dyno and will get those up shortly.

yeah i knew your car was down recently but yeah i was wondering if it had every been dyno's before (shoulda just looked at your sig before i asked). and wow just a mail order tune? you should definitely have room for improvement!
Ya, TJ said is the best LT-1 he has done yet, most powerful one too
Red, I will call him tomorrow about the shake.
The idle does start off high but will come down in a few seconds.
Should land around 1000ish.
The Vibration is the exhaust, I'll look at it when we do the gauges.
And yes, it will like down shifting.
If you are going to break you will have to take it out of gear.
It wont like getting bogged down in gear.
The 10mph and jerking, it's that way, nothing you can do about it.
That cam wants sore RPM than stock, you just have to change your driving style a bit.
TJ also told us tho ditch the Flowmaster
Said we can pick up 20hp with a different muffler.
