Hi all!
I'm Jesse, the new guy. Ive been lurking as a guest for a while but just registered this week. I've come from the land of the W-Body, but the whole small displacement/fwd thing got old quick.
I'm finally going to be doing the strip-only project with my dad that I've wanted to do for years, and I picked the 3rd gen Camaro. So while GM is familiar to me, I'm definitely gonna be needing some help from the thirdgen community on this one. I'm really looking forward to this so when yall see me struggling here, feel free to throw me any tips/ tricks/advice you're willing to part with, I can use it all

x1000000000000000000000 on buying a project that's been started. but it can be a double edged sword, some things may drive you nuts but you can change pretty much anything later on.


and welcome. can't wait to see what you're going to do

Probably somewhere in between for now. Once we get it set up in a mild way, we'll keep adding to the build until we get to whatever goals we make. Low 10s sound good...

I'll keep you in mind for that, you're on "the list" lol
And I agree. Problem is many people think their 305 with the wrong performance heads gives them a "race" car and they want 10k for them...
Just gotta pick through.
