What billet parts do you wish were made for 3rd gens?

Any suggestions post them up. Just got a new 3 axis CNC and looking for some ideas of what is in need of being made for these cars that has not been already done. Feel free to even suggest non camaro related pieces too.

Once everything is running smooth and we feel comfortable with the machine we will be taking small production orders and will be willing to do custom one off products.

Like mentioned above post them up. If anyone has any questions I will answer them to the best of my abilities.

Our CNC is a Southwestern Industries DPM SX5P with the Prototrak SMX controller.

I'm not sure of the thirdgens specifically but I would be looking to see what accessory brackets for the LS swap don't work easily and develop those. I know with the applications I work on (Astro/Safari vans) you have to notch the frame for clearance on the lower passenger side. A bracket that eliminates a need for that would be valuable and sell well. Heck even a good bracket to allow easier LS swaps into a fox body would probably be a good seller.

Besides this, something that's either an adapter or an actual bracket that lets you use a type II pump on a thirdgen would be pretty awesome and likely be a seller for non thirdgen applications like GM trucks.

What do you mean by a "type II" pump?

Our shop is not too familiar on the LSX stuff. We mainly focus on doing work for high dollar clientele, we have only touched a few LSX engines. We are very busy with regulars with multiple engines who spend a lot of money every year. One of them is Jeff Lutz, we will be doing some CNC work for him also.
