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!

I think I went with some cheap organic HD clutch. Mainly because I wanted it to be the weak link for now...I'd rather burn up a clutch than explode a trans or rear end
You'd be surprised what a 10 bolt can take... I've been barking 4th gear with my spec stage 3 for a good 6 years now. For me, my tires have always been my "fuse."
I'm really more worried about the T5 behind the low to mid 400 hp/tq engine
Well, if I remember right, the dyno software said 442hp 433tq...I think both numbers are 20-30 high. I don't really care for numbers though as I just wanted a healthy mill that would react to how far I put my right foot down.
Last drive of the season (had to take it around the block one last time, even tho it barely started and barely moved...)
The way its going to sit all winter with a lot more torn down soon...
Part of the reason the season was cut short, this and a clutch
Picked up a few things from a good buddy of mine, thanks again!
Mint Dash pad:
New emblem, I think I like the silver better...
Plans:
Drop trans and evaluate. I am thinking a engine rebuild as well but its too early to tell with that. I need a new clutch and I need to clean up a bunch of things underneath the car. I have a feeling that one thing will lead to another tho, I just dont want to get in too over my head. So this will go one step at a time.
I also plan on doing some interior work, starting with some dynamat or something similar, major cleaning and some small changes to the interior.
Nice find on the dash!
What are your complaints with the interior? IMO lets bump up subframe connectors as they will stiffen the body up and reduce rattles. Then consider a heat/noise/vibration damper for the interior. Being that you don't have a/c and usually drive with the t- tops off I think installing a "dynamat" like product would reduce the amount of heat transfered through the floor.

Good call on the sub frame connectors I forgot I had those still, I am also planning some other suspension stuff as well. My complaints about the interior is mostly noises and wanting to clean it all up. I want/need new carpet cause mine is quite bad, really want/need some sort of sound/heat damper like you say. Nothing extreme just simple stuff in there.
I still have that fresh T5 sitting in the garage. Updated sychros, cluster support, all new bearings and yoke bushing, .56 overdrive, and Core/Hurst stick (with stops) on it.

Not 100% sure, if anything just a mild 350 will be in this car, no big HP goals dont even care about HP mine is a true street driven summer DD car.
