Default 1996 Formula revived.

I bought this car about 4 months ago as a rolling chasis, i put the old engine out of my camaro into it along with the wheels and tires and this is what i came up with.

Engine specs-
Rebuilt 350 LT1,LE custom cam (234/242 .612/.612 111),52mm TB, long tubes, CSR pump, Ram HD clutch, mild head work, 3.42's (soon to be gone),36lb injectors.. I might be missing some stuff but here is some of the work.

Thanks guys and this cam was speced for this engine over a year ago and never had a problem.

Gregrob is doing the tune when he gets back from work, for now he e-mailed me a tune so i can drive it around and have some fun, but hopefully soon i will be doing 3.90's or 4.10's and have him do a full dyno/street tune.

The rims are from OEWheels.

Thanks guys, i'll get some more pics up asap.

The only thing i plan on chaging is get a LT1 style WS6 hood, and probably change the rims to the C5 dished rims from OEWheels, oh and will be doing a t-top conversion in the near future.

Any one know how hard it is to put GTO seats in these?

Damn that looks wayy sweet.

Is that spoiler stock? And that piece between the tail lights with the bird and "formula"?

Nice hood, those are meaner IMO then the LS1 WS6 hood.

I got this spoiler off a wrecked LS1 WS6, just had to switch the latch on the hatch to make it work. The bird and the Formula are just stickers, but i will be taking them off.

Yeah it pulls like hell thats for sure. Next winter this car will either get a nicely built 355 LT1 or 400+ LSx..
