TGO Mentioned in Chevy Hi Perf Dec. 2004

Well I couldn't find an appropriate spot but I felt this was the best board for this. In the December 2004 Issue of Chevy high Performance the article on page 86 In Sync: Choosing the Proper Speedo Gears for your 700-R4 (BTW very informative for those who have done changes with rear ends and transmissions) goes on to say they used the Tech Equations on the main page and refered to TGO as "one of our favorite Camaro sites", as they were working on the project car "The Bi--hin Camaro." Thought it was a cool plug in a sense and figured I would let you all in and share, cause after December the magazine can technically be classified as a "past reference" material a.k.a history!!

My car represents the 1987 model in "Standard Catalog of Camaro 1967 to 2002"

My 93 Pace car is also in the book along with my dad's 82 Pace car. My car was also a cover shot for Camaro World magazine 2 years ago. All I need now is a calender shot and I'm happy

Calindar Shots...

I almost had that lined up, The Firebird Calindar for 2004 I spoke to Orlando at the T/A nats in 2002, He was the Photographer for the "Firebird Calindar".

He seemed to show quite a bit of interest, but I don't know if he was trying to be nice or not. When I saw him again at the 2003 T/A nats he said he sent me an e-mail about the 2004 calindar but I never got it, or I mistakenly erased it... he then mentioned the same thing for the 2005 Calindar, but the web site and everything to do with the Firebird Calindar is no more

..

Oh well, I guess I will have to settle with the Book for now... Not like I am complaining....

The book... A really good read mind you, I like how he pulled from other lines, like Corvette, and the Fiero to show the development and evolution of the Firebird.

I've seen TGO mentioned in a couple mags (Chevy High Perf. and Super Chevy) in the past few years. ShiftyCapone (TBI board moderator) had a letter posted in Chevy Hi a few months ago regarding their Vortech TBI build.
