Default It lives!!!!

its been Along time since i first started tearing down my camaro after my throw out bearing blew out. (progress of build is in my sig) but today i finished installing my freshly rebuilt lt1 with LE's 223/230 cam @ 112 lsa and stock heads that i had hand ported. the whole build took some time and a fair bit of money but it was So worth it to hear it fire up for the first time! she turned right over and ran pretty damn good. i have a slight tap from a rocker. im going to go over all of them tomorrow hopefully and adjust them as good as i can. heres a short clip of her running when i was almost done with alittle break in for my lifters. hope you guys enjoy!

Glad to hear it running, it always feels good to hear a new build fire and run. Now get it out and let us know how it runs.

i agree 100% but everyone seems to have ZR1's which is why i went with the wagon wheels. and in gloss black i think theyll look great

LOL, and Z06 wheels aren't?! Everyone and their mom has those wheels. And IMO ZR1's flow more with the car, if you get what I'm saying.
