Thanks,
That smoke coming out of the tailpipes is mostly unburnt fuel, car runs very rich. Still trying to work out the little bugs from the conversion.

I'll see what I can find out about putting my cam into a roller motor.

There are people running non-roller cams in roller blocks. The cam bolt pattern on the timing set is different so you'll have to change that. The lifters are different (obviously) so you have to change those (but non-roller cams usually come with lifters). I don't think anything else has to be changed, but, I might be wrong.

Well, the computer problems aren't related to the cam, it's the computer itself. Serial Data Link isn't working on the ECM, so I might have to get another ECM. When I get a chance I'll drop my ecm into a friends 91 T/A and see if I can read my ECM from her port with the scanner and I'll drop her ECM into my car and see if that works as well.
As soon as I can scan the ECM, then I can start to program chips that take the Cam and my other mods into consideration. The program I am running now thinks that the motor is a stock 91 GTA 305 TPI motor.
I have a few programs I am going to try tomorrow and see how it runs, but I really need to get the scanner to work so I can see exactly what is going on inside the motor.

definately go with a spoiler. I mean I hate to admit it but it looks really nice even without it, but it will look alot meaner with it. Camaros on the other hand dont look good without spoilers. What r u doing with the paint?

Well, we just finished putting the 4th gen rear on the car and the tires don't stick out as far anymore, so I might have to go with a spoiler since I lost that agressive wide stance.
I'll have pics in a couple of days, too tired to do anything now.

Shaved door handles
I like spoilers, but I'm planning to get rid of my stock one and play with a custom design. Gotts to be different. As it is I added wings to the underside of the front and rear of the car to give it a more aggressive look. Sounds weird, looks cool.
I noticed you have the 92 ground effects on the sides sweet. I went that route too. I also shaved the handles, antenna, and gas filler. I will try to post a shot. The shots I took with the handles shaved came out too dark and will not scan right.
OK, here is a link to my GA. Fbody member page. There is a shot of it stock and of it a few monthes back.

In this pic the handles were not off yet, but the pic was so cool my boyfriend photoshopped them off, but forgot the puddle. It will give you and idea of how it looks. As soon as I get the new hood and spoiler on and painted I will post some shots and see what you guys think.

Thanks!
I get mixed reviews all the time. The tint is usually the thing people don't get. I can't wait to see yours when you get it done.
