We could use the stock coils. MSD donated these to us for testing. They say they should help drivability and idle with high lift cams. ...yet to test on the street.

Great job, very impressive. You said it ran on an LS1 computer. How did you do that, did you have to switch out the 58X reluctor wheel or did you guys find away around that problem without taking apart the motor? Do all vette 17X11 wheels fit on Camaros or did you have to do some modifications to the body? Again props to you and your team.

Ok, to answer everybody's questions about the ride height:
The front is all new BMR everything and it's all out of wack because it hasn't been aligned yet. The rear has a moser which has a little higher stance in the back. After everything is aligned and settled we are considering springs.

Jason,
OK, I'll be the first to ask... even though I do not own an F-Body...
I can't hard tell so I'll guess you used the factory LS7 oil pan
1) Did you test fit the LS7 with its factory pan in a factory f-body k-member?
2) Looks like ATI balancer. Does ATI now offer the correct offset balancer for the extended LS7 snout crank to allow use of factory F-Body accessories? Part number?
Super nice work guys...
Bill
