Finally, my car is back, pictures inside....

After two very long and painful years, with lots of frustration and long waiting periods my car is finally mobile again. It has been for about a month now but I'm only now getting around to posting these pics. They are not the greatest quality, it is time for me to get a new digital camera. I'll have more pics this weekend, what do you think???

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it!!

megaracerx: I don't have any yet, but I will this weekend. it is a stock hood.

Amrish: I don't have any numbers on the motor yet. All I have to go by is a run from last night. Myself and a buddy, who was driving my wife's Z28, had a run. With lot's of wheel spin I bet him pretty good. My wife's car run's consitent 13.8's and a best of 13.77. So I was pleased with that, considering I have alot more tuning to do and my transmission is not 100% either, even though it was just rebuilt??

Myself and a friedn put the new motor together. So far I love the Miniram. You can really feel the power come on at 5500 and keep you in your seat until 6500 and beyond. The old TPI would NEVER do that. So far I am very pleased.
