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 bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC
don't know if you tore into the center counsel yet or not but it's simple. after the shifter handle is off take of the indicator plate and there should be a bolt in there or two and then there is one or two in the armrest/box thingy. then it comes right out. no messing with carpet at all.

Thanks! I sure will. Well, I want a real choppy idle but i dont want to have to worry about the bottom end. So i was looking at the GM847 but it has like a 6100 to 6400 powerband or something like that. Which from what I have heard it is pushing it for LT1 bottom end.
Im not very knowledgeable when it comes to internals. But I do love the sound of a MS3 and MS4 in a LS1.
if you want a choppy idle but want to keep as much bottom end and midrange as possible, go with a cam that has a tight LSA but on the lower-end of duration... which would be exactly my cam
my tune is still FAR from perfect but i have great midrange torque - it is very fun to drive. I dont need to rev it to the moon to have fun.
If you want to go a little bigger id recommend the 230/238 which is still smaller than an 847.
otherwise you can go custom - but keep in mind just about everything but advanced induction grinds are OLD tech, have been around for years. People praise them because its what they know.... there is better out there though.

404: traction not found (lapeer)
but i did that with a 2.1 60 foot so go figure. My fuel pump was dying that day and again my tune is only a blind guess adjustment to the VE table. I ran 12.96 twice that day and im not sure if it was this pass or another but on one of them i completely lost power in 3rd due to no fuel pressure.... and thats when i started figuring out what was going on.
If i actually go to a real track, get a wideband and dial my tune in right, get some shocks that actually do something, and fix my fuel pump... im hoping for much better than i did that day.

Can you elaborate a bit, i looked at it today, didn't see any clips or anything. How do you get the handle off? Is there a write up or anything?

That is so good info, sounds like exactly what i want, is it a custom grind? What am I looking for price wise with a entire cam swap, using stock heads and intake?
but damn I love that color! My buddy has one the same color. His is also a 93 Z28.
Meissen said they only made the color in 93 with around 4,900 of them ever made in this color.

Did a little work today. Think I need a new elbow?
Well i took random live wires out, a lot of it was from my wiring kit I put in when i owned it.
What the engine bay looks like with 4 less power wires and a couple grounds.

AI grinds every cam they sell, that site has some of their "preset" ones that they have developed.
The price is on that page and the kit includes MOST of the items you need for a swap. One of the things i remember having to get in addition was a timing chain.
Im not saying you have to go with advanced induction by any means, but they do have newer stuff that has been making good numbers and i found it hard to beat their prices regardless. I personally recommend either something from them or something that is straight custom ground to your needs.
I chose my cam because there is a guy with a VERY close grind to the 226/234 making 370rwhp, with all the mods I have. (no headwork) You wont see that out of a 503.
