I've been busy working on the ol' website and thought you guys might want to see what's up in the garage.
It looks like I'm getting a lot closer to making the Minirammed 385 a reality! I just redid the serpentine accessories, and with the purchase of a waterpump and new distributor, I think I'll have all the components for a running EFI'ed, 480 horsepower tire-shredder.
Here's the link that shows the most recent progress. Air Flow Research has picked up the tab for my flow testing, and hopefully I will have the heads done & installed by the end of the month.
I got something in the works for April that *may* involve a new ECM with wide-band tuning capability, and dyno testing at a Comp Cams facility, but it's going to take a lot of selling on my part. Wish me luck! I want to show this thing at the CamaroZ28.com national event in late July.
Lastly, I hope to begin an in-depth installation of an 8-point roll cage including new five-point racing harnesses, as well. It'll all be documented on the now (rather large) http://www.ws6transam.org
Here's the Minirammed 385 sub-page:

I hope you like it, and that it helps you with some ideas of your own.

How did you get AFR to flow test for free?
Have you ever sold a refrigerator to eskimos?

Looks good.
You may have a problem with the 30lb injectors though. I had to step up to 36lb'ers and Lethalracer had to also. I think the duty cycle with the 30's was 76% with the LT1 intake. Duty cycle is now at 64% with the 36's. A friend with a miniram 355 was maxing out 24lb injectors at 101% and had to go to the 30's and now he is still at 74% duty cycle.
You may want to check that on the dyno or wideband.

Roger that, I will-do.
