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!
Did some more research about the MAF thing today...saw something about a 20 amp Engine Sensor fuse that could cause it. Got home today, popped the hood, had a look, sure as heck. Blown fuse. Gotta love easy fixes
The employees at O'Reilly know me. Even worse, when I went tonight, one commented that he almost didn't recognize me without my hat on.

Also, I've got a lead on a brand new set of BMR swaybars for $250 shipped. Yay or nay?

Id say Nay.
IMO you have to really be driving the wheels off your car for a lowered fbody to see an advantage in getting different sway bars. I know MSU Racing does auto x so maybe it would be helpful, but no way I would spend that kind of money on it. Thats 1/8th of a cam swap.
Id budget 2k to do a cam swap the right way... Thats what I spent on mine.
But i don't agree with sway bars not helping on a lowered car. Nate your car handles superbly as it is, but I think sway bars will make a very noticeable difference for you still. My spohn front sway bar completely changed the feel of my car all by itself. $250 seems like a "fair" price... i wouldnt call it a bargain.
Get what you pay for. My build exceeded the expectations of the manufacturer that ground the cam
Edelbrock heads w/ +.100 valves and guide plates, Comp Cam custom grind, Comp roller rockers, Lunati valve springs/retailers/10* locks, Scat crank, Speed Pro pistons, Clevite rings/bearings. Didn't get the knock off stuff, just used my Dutch skills

Another thread sidetracked? Yup.
I admit I left my dutch skills at the door on that build... but I invite you to see how it compares to a cam only car
I guess now that Brent's car is running you guys need to find another thread to blow up?
To be honest, a cam swap isn't in the plans. Eventually, with another car, but not now and not with this car.
I was looking for sway bars, and this was the cheapest set of aftermarket ones I could find anywhere.

I'm bored, and your thread is as good of a place as any to shoot the
I was going to say that I'd upgrade the brakes first, but I see now that you've already done that. That's a pretty good price for new sway bars...but how are the summit lowering springs treating you? Not sure what their spring rates are
I actually took the Summit springs out of the rear. Sat too low and the ride was beyond awful. Running stock springs and heater hose mod in the rear at the moment. I'm very pleased with the stance and the ride quality, though I haven't done any autocross with this setup yet.

Why wouldn't you just pick up a SS/WS6 sway bar if they are the same size? They can be had for CHEAP.
because I didn't realize what the size was for SS/WS6 sway bars was before I started researching it this morning
