Your car 
I just like the overall look of it better, and to be honest I'm bored. I have more fun building my cars than I do driving them. I'm looking for something to work on this winter and thought this might be a cool direction to go. We'll see if it works out or not, I know it's hard to sell things for a custom setup but hopefully someone will be interested.

asking price is 2999 shipped, open to reasonable offers.
It might fit in a Camaro, but it's going to depend mostly on how far back the engine is placed, what type of radiator you're running and hood clearance. I'd be happy to take any measurements you need to find out if it will fit. There's a couple of pics here that I put a tape measure in for reference:

At 5.5psi I ran 14.05 @ 105 mph leaving off idle, with a dismal 2.488s 60’. This is with an internally stock LQ4, stock 4L80E, 1600rpm converter, 3.73 rear gear and 26" tall street tire.
This was my third tuning run on my first time out tuning so I was taking it pretty easy. I ended up having a problem with my fuel system unfortunately. I'm pretty sure the intank pump was getting some air in it so I didn't get an opportunity to really get the most out of a tune and turn up the boost. It definitely has some top end on it though and that was only at 5.5 psi so it has alot more in it.

i have a 71 elco with a stock 5.3L except for a cam and am currently doing a turbo setup and i have been debating on doing a single or twin setup and have a few questions. is there any more reasons for you switching to a twin setup? would i be able to run twin turbos on a stock motor? would it be easier to run twins? the car is my DD so reliability is definately an issue for me. any help would be great

I bought all the components either off Ebay or from stainlessworks. Things add up pretty quickly. I'm asking basically what I have into the system plus a couple hundred extra for the hours of labor I put into it. I do have some room to move...if you'd be interested pm me and maybe we could work out a deal. I'm going to build something new either way and could reuse alot of the pieces, but I'd rather unload it, or most of it rather than break things down for the flanges, bends, etc. I'll pm you and see what you think if that's allright with you.
