Cool pic, just wish it was me. Speaking of which, is there any track meets planned? Next time I am going to run, none of this sitting and watching! I had a good time watching the rest of the guys run, however, I want to see where I am at as far as performance goes. I may go back to St. Thomas myself for some test and tune.

Well zedder, this is the best I can do! I actually had Steve (in the black LS1) until the 1/8th of a mile because he screwed up his launch.

I plan on returning to St. Thomas in a week or two to baseline the car. I'll give you a call when.

His first run was a 17 then he dialed in at 13.9!! and he got disqualified in the bracket because he ran a 13.85 with no traction!!!!!!!!!!! I spent most of the day talking to his Dad and uncle about the motor it is a 4 bolt main 350 from a old truck. Its a torque monster the car is a original v6 standard and is now auto. The will be back on the 22nd

That would be great, Richard. Let me know. That is, if I can get my car running right.

There is a casting on the heads that tells you what they are... the casting on those indicated Intermediate heads... so chances are they were 1.94/1.5" valve sizes. If you build an engine... heads cam and intake will get you the furthest.... he did all of those, except the heads, a lot of people forget heads. Unless he get them ported, then that would be ok.

yah you can stick a GTA spoiler on your Camaro. Seen it done before and it looked odd. Guess I'm used to seeing them on Firebirds...

Im not talking about the Big GTA ones that go around the whole window.

You know the smaller ones... there like the ones on the coupe but they look better on the Camaro ive seen it before.

Is it easy to install u think?
I really want just the regular spoiler that came on all Camaros but it seems like quite the task to put it on.

The '91 and '92 spoilers are (according to a tech article I read) made of carbon fibre. They say that they way under 3 pounds. I believe it my hatch is very easy to open and close and my shocks are still good after 12 years.
