All Chevy Performance Volume 3, Issue 28 - April 2023

I’m sure you’ve all seen them—videos of street takeovers where inexperienced drivers do their best drifting imitation in what are normally busy intersections in big cities all across America. All this leads me to ask the question: What the hell are these kids thinking? I’m not only talking about the ones in the car driving as much as I am the ones doing whatever it takes to boost their TikTok/Instagram numbers by getting as close to the action as possible to get “the shot.” I’ll address the ones hanging most of their limbs out of the car windows or open doors in a minute. But I want to go back to the kids risking serious injury and putting their lives at risk by getting as close to the action as…

@TavisHighlander TavisHighlander.com Vehicle Build: By Alvey’s Bodyworx, Louisville, KY Thanks to air suspension, this custom ’55 sedan delivery is going to sit really low. The wheels tucking up into the fenders are Schott Venoms with tri-bar knockoffs. A cleaned-up body with tight tucked bumpers will show off the gloss black paint. Blue line tires finish off the look and tie into the dominant interior color. The interior is where I spent much of my time as a designer on this project. Coming up with flowing lines was paramount to the builder and owner. In the end, the seats and all panels follow the theme of a narrow suede inset with a small group of perpendicular accent seams. A little bit of polished trim breaks up the almost-all blue interior.…

It can start in an instant and last a lifetime. You’re driving with your folks or riding in a school bus and a cool car rumbles by. Stopped at a red light, you press you nose against the glass for a few fleeting moments of visual and audible contact only to see that cool shape slide away, probably never to be seen again. Regardless, you are never the same. For Bo Juniel that irreversible change came courtesy of a ’66 Chevelle that was parked near his home in the Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles. The classic GM A-body shape was to cut an indelible pattern into his memory, building up like the layers of dust that would grow to envelop the cool Chevy over the years. Bo would walk…

The great things about the LS engine are the aftermarket has fully embraced it as a performance engine and there are tons of options for your next build. The bad things about the LS engine are the aftermarket has fully embraced it as a performance engine and it can be frustratingly difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to determining the best components for your next build. Don’t worry. We’re here for you. We recently spent two days in the dyno cell with the engine builders at Prestige Motorsports testing just LS intake manifolds from Holley. Our entire purpose was to find out how Holley’s different intake manifold options affect how (and where) the engine makes power. And boy, the results were enlightening. We’ve done stories…

“Originally, I intended to just take the car in for an LS swap,” Mike Fisher, owner of this remarkable ’67 Camaro, confesses. “After spending some time with Jeremy Miranda at the Miranda Built shop in Boynton Beach, Florida, and seeing what he and his team were capable of, the LS swap turned into a full-on redo–a total ground-up restoration with tons of one-off custom nuances.” This occurrence is not unheard of with car owners looking to do some minor upgrades; although every situation is unique and outcomes vary, Mike’s ’67 Camaro is now an absolute gem. The Delray Beach, Florida, resident was introduced to the car hobby by learning how to wrench on his father’s projects well before he was of driving age. “My first car was an LS1-powered fourth-gen…
