Winter mod season has officially begun... 
Thanks to Cory and Jimbo, the camaro mod fest started tonight. Got to work on the car about 4pm. Jacked and on stands by the time Jim and Cory showed. At at 10pm all is done.Motor is on the stand, Tranny is on the ground and the Turbo is on the shelf.
Tore the heads off the engine. Everything inside actually looked VERY good. NO signs of detonation. At this point it just looks like the rings are too loose. Tomorrow I'll pull the motor down abit more and take a look at the ring lands and bearings.
Called Futral today, the engine ships out on Monday. Now I just get to play the waiting game for the heads and new converter.
Still deciding if a new intake manifold would be a good addition or not...
Looks tempting Ryan
..........Very nice I must say!! 
except for the whole throttle body thing. Going to be a monster ryan.

My last car had a nice single plane intake (Old News), Had to cut a **** ton to get it to fit with a standard throttle body. Those pictures are someone else's, but I am "thinking" about it.

Is the elbow that bolts to your intake the same size as a Holley base-plate? If so, I'd like to know where you got it and how much?
