Ok last Friday night I went to Steel all good and well car ran good all the way around town and to the track. Got there and as always takes a while to get going pulse let the car cool off after a hour or so final decided to run the car lined up and ran fine actually did good for me got a 13.88 at 105 but that were it went downhill pulled up to get the ticket and the car didn’t wont to idle rev a little and went on didn’t worry about it cause it only did it once so I got out and watched some more about 30min later got in to go run again and started up fine the about died so I gave it some gas then it started to run fine so I went to the staging lane and then the engine light came on and the car refused to idle didn’t want to pull out of the lane so I held the gas and it ran but not good went ahead and ran still got a 13.9 at 104 but it wouldn’t idle for **** parked it and about an hour or so later left it died two times leaving the track but once I got on the interstate got off at Ashville exit then crazy **** it idled fine wouldn’t you know it the next morning I checked the codes they were Po103 map sensor circuit high frequency po131 heated o2 sensor circuit low voltage po171 lean bank 1
Ok so I replaced the map sensor that **** didn’t help so I went on and cleared the codes and then a new one came up I believe it was something like p1183 witch is like low voltage from oil pressure sensor cleared it and it hasn’t come back on pulse the mas air code hasn’t came on again but the lean code has and from the black smoke that is pouring out of it there’s no way its running lean so I pulled the front 02 out and it is shot so later today I’m going to put a new one in it and hop that clears the rich condition and the idle problem if anybody has any other suggestions let me know

I ruined some girls night tonight, lol
I went to town and on my way back home I was driving through town and I had this girl in a VW bug trying to entice me to "race"... since buying the Camaro, i've gotten used to this with girls, lol... well, anyway the last red light before no more lights and it turns to highway, I decide to have a little fun with her and when the light goes green I light the tires up and do a little pull to 60ish(55 is the speed limit) and back off... now I was car lengths ahead of her and decided to slow down, at this point, screw the racing, its now time to interact with this chick, so she is trying to speed up to catch up to me... and we end up passing a cop with her doing like 70ish trying to catch up... now I was speeding a "little" so I knew with me being in the Camaro, even with her speeding more, chances were I was going to be the one getting popped when he turned on his blue lights... but he got her instead, I felt like a dick... I mean I wasn't about to pull a u-turn and be like "its my fault officer" but in other words.... i'm pretty sure that is the same as striking out, lol

Anyone got any suggestions on a shop to get a clutch job done at? I know labor is gonna be costly.So far my quotes in labor range between 600- 1000.I laughed at the 1000. The shops in blount co are rapists so they are a no go.Im going with a gmpp clutch, lnf tob,and clutch pipe from ced.Any help would be appreciated.

I got a "rough" quote at $450 here in town when I had my car, but the guy told me that he'd have to see the car before he could give a more accurate quote, I figured about $450-600 when I was looking to get it done

have you considered the LNF clutch, its stronger than the GMPP clutch, right guys?
I was thinking the GMPP clutch was only rated for 300ft-lbs and the LNFs commonly hold 350+ ft-lbs
