670hp/485tq @29psi on Q16…

Just recently, Mister Hobbs fired the car up again and had it re-tuned just in time to get some track times and more testing done. Testing and development are kind of right up this guys alley. He and Wil from Exospeed Racing came together to get the perfect fitment on a street wheel setup that is now seeming to root its way out to others. After months of test fitments, back and forth shipping, and picking the right tire, Antwaine finally found the perfect fitment possible for the “street car” that sits in his garage waiting for days without rain. But the second catch is that Mister Hobbs fights fires by day, and those 24hr shifts start to take away from building and driving time!

Hats off to Antwaine for the build, R&D, and putting the effort into trying something new and keeping it street for the street guys out there!

Here are a few more random pics:

Some shots of lining up the wheels and seeing how close things are.

the only civic with this custom Peak Boost manifold & downpipe made to use with a 60mm wastegate.

The manifold shot. I took this from Ken@Peak Boost. Check out the bling option on this! Bananas!

The rear wheels were made using a “skinny” face, along with a lip and barrel from one of the other Exospeed wheels available. this together has made the “street edition” available from Exospeed. These wheels are Double Forged multi-piece with interchangeable faces.  The possibilities are endless!

Here is a video of what Antwaine and Tony1 believe is the 515 pump gas pull. Yes, you can get it from this car on pump gas. No Q or C16 needed!

Shot outs to Clayton, Wil, and Antwaine for keeping me updated on the car and the status of it! Also, big shot outs to Rudy for the top image! I appreciate you letting me use it!

The late 60’s Camaro rivals the iconic presence of any muscle car on the planet if you ask me. The body lines are some of the best ever created. Add a 388-stroker and you have yourself a red light terror machine, option tag of “get in my car girl” is available!

What can you say about a spotless 1968 Camaro on the street? The 1st thing I always say is that its good to see a piece of history on the street. But whats even better is to see the “resto-mods” which the industry labels these oldies when they have anything late model on the car. Wheels, or anything. I know them as Hot Rods, and the older they get, the more they mean to us all!

When I first found out Jake had this car, it was a goal of mine to shoot it. I never go around to it, and the car itself got better and better over time. When the Weld wheels were added, it was a for sure thing! Jake has had the car since 2007, but the mods have been flowing from day one. It had a stock 350 in the bay when he got it, but soon after was replaced with this Dyer Racing Engines built 388-Stroker that you will see in the mods list! This beast can get out of dodge!

I have already mentioned that here on Greasy Blocks we are nuts over drag racing! See, down here in the southern states we have a few things that make this very clear; a ton of drag strips, very loose emission standards, more domestics being used than anywhere else in the united states, home of NASCAR (meaning tons of machine and chassis work) and possibly some of the best weather for year-round driving in the states.

When it all comes down to it, I may just be obsessed with the year and make of what Jake’s car is, or it could be one more factor. Since the motor is a low compression motor, it can be driven anywhere! I mean, long distance, jagged and beat up roads, on the crappiest of pump gas out there. We all know those bum-ass filling stations here and there that get crap gas. Sometimes you need those, no matter what you are behind the wheel of.

I could blab you on and on with some feature, but Jake’s Camaro does more in pictures than I could do. Plus, that’s one of the goals of Greasy Blocks, not to just blab you on! With a car that passes the 8th mile traps in 7.4sec at over 94mph, there is no blab needed! More coming on this car in a few weeks.
