My Car Finally is coming together
Just dropped the engine in the very clean compartment which was painted with 2 coats of KP 90 and 3 coats of clear 
. Should be tough enough to maintain a new look for a very long time.
Here are some specs on the engine:
ZZ 4 with fast burn 383 heads, LT 4 Hot cam Kit, TPI, all ported and gasket matched. I am not very engine educated, my brother-in-law is helping me with it so that’s all I know for now but I am learning this stuff rather quick so any suggestions would be appreciated

Dang that engine looks clean! Beautiful!
Uh, not to sound dumb, but what's a "Stealth Ram?" Same as a T-Ram that covers the whole top of the engine? Or is it an aftermarket EFI system like TPIS's MiniRam or Accel's StreetRam?
Once again, awesome engine bay, dude!

Nice, I would suggest an upgraded intake also, at least a new base and runners. I noticed a very nice differance when I swapped out the TPI for a Super ram.

thats just what i did with my intake. ebay'ed it off for a few hundred, put that toward a stealth ram. but damn, they are tall. I believe on camaro hoods they fit fine, but firebird/trans am hoods will require a little bit of persuasion to the hood supports (~1/4 inch) to clear. Can't tell you guys how she performs yet because im still waiting on the fuel rail kit which is backordered. I should have it all together in the next week or so.
