I have the part # from when I opened up the charger to put the new input shaft in. The company that gave me the prices is called BDI and there # is 216-642-2288 ext. 3014. The part # for the small bearings is 6202-2RSLTN9/HC5C3WT. They are $70.00 each. The large part # is 6205-2RSLTN9/HC5C3WT. They are $118.00 each. They said it would take 2 weeks for you to receive them when ordered.

The racing bearings are well worth the price, I've seen around 12-13 psi on mine and average around 11 psi. Thats with the 2.6 " pulley. I still have my 2.25" pulley to put on. I have almost maxed my maf out with the 2.6" pulley. Also M.T. , I found the correct setting for the methanol injection. I use a M1 nozzle and have it come on at 6-7 psi. Works real well. I'm also using some boost juice from Snow Performance. It is 50/50 water and methanol premixed.

Hey Steve, thanks. I'm going to print this page and keep it as a reference. I did some googling and found the company you mentioned: http://www.bdi-usa.com/products/bearings.asp Seems like a nice company with good customer service.
Since it's pretty pricey, I'm just going to buy them one at a time.
As for Water Injection. I'm thinking of just selling mine. There's a Mustang guy here with a Vortech who's willing to give me what I paid for.
I don't think it would work great for me. For one thing I have low boost which is around an ave. of 7-8 psi. Coolingmist seems to cater more to Turbocharge cars and or high boost SC car.
I was looking at Snow Perf. and they do have one for low boost SC and for NA. I'm thinking of looking into their product. I also email a guy from SMC Enterprise http://www.smcenterprises.com/turbo.htm He said he could customize it for me, but it would cost around $500. That's alot.

Steve, how fast is that car anyway? man o man. you gotta get to the track this year...you just gotta.
Yeah, No kidding. You should get that Camaro dynoed again. Racing built and Methanol Injection, I bet you're 350rwhp. You should take it to the track. Probably the 1/8th so it's less stressful on the car.
When are you gonna run Grayman? Your car is pretty awesome too.
Thanks again for the Racing bearing #'s. The minute you mentioned the company's name I was able to find it in Google. I'm going to call them this week and order my first one.
The two tracks around here (seattle) start to open for test and tunes in Feb. I need a helmet becuase of the T tops. A buddy at work has some extra helmets that I can borrow...but i will have to remind him a THIRD TIME (getting ancy). If not i will just have to bite the bullet and buy one.
Also, My exhaust was all tight and perfect until I swapped in the Firehawk Muffler. now i have getto tail pipes and banging/clanking in the entire system. I have aftermarket cat and it gives an SES code so i want to get that code over written HPtuners before i take it into my muffler guy for final fitment and welding of the system. BUT>>>>I can't buy HPTuners yet because my bro is buying an LS1 car soon and we will be going halfsies on hptuners when he actually has his car. (phew)
I have minor exhaust leaks all through the system right now as well. I can tell a drop in performance vs. the full magnaflow (un constomized and fitting perfectly) 3" system and my current 'loosy - goosy' rig i got going. the firehawk muffler sounds great...just what I wanted...less loud than the magnaflow but still deap and powerful, but the muffler is not at all perfect fit with the LT1 magnaflow overazle pipe, etc.
But yea....I gots to get to the track too. :D

the magnaflow sounded awesome but it was LOUD. It gave the car power but EVERYONE knew i was coming (or going)
The slp firehawk muffler is still a 3" x 2x2.5" muffler but it is a bit bigger and the inside is completly different...it actually muffles a bit. The car still sounds beefy. It is still loud when i go WOT but other than that it does a good job of dampening the volume as well as permiting some 'hi performance flow.'
once the exhaust leaks are taken care of i will try harder to get a sound clip. It is a real good...um....'40 soemthing' performance muffler...i will leave it at that.

I'm going to try to make it to the dyno next week if nothing pops up for me to do. I have been looking for a pair of salad shooters to mount some drag radials on so I could hit up the track one of these Friday nights. When I go I'll do the 1/4 mile. Should hold up I think. If not, then it looks like it will be a G-Force Tranny for me.
