That TB actually isn't mine, it's off of my buddy's TA that is currently torn down. That TB, is also a problem...it's not big enough. I've gotta get a 96mm (or bigger) and port the intake to match. The car won't idle on its own yet, gotta get the IAC counts down still.
I DID get the cam sensor wires switched around, so the tach works and the motor fires on the first turn-over pretty much
I DID also take some video, but it ended up being terrible sound quality, so it was deleted. i'll get something up though, don't worry.

I hope you're able to drive it and enjoy it. I hate seeing projects like this be built and then sold within a year after completion.

Hopefully anyone that wants to see it or go for a ride can. i'd like to drive the car all over the place if i can. I'm really starting to think i'm going to take the car to Virginia to have Frost (Steve Williams) tune it. I had him do a mail order for the first start-up and break in and it's awesome. I'd also like to do the Power Tour long haul with it as well, but it has to be finished and tuned of course...
This is the first weekend i'll have to really get back to work on the car. I've been busy at work with some overtime and haven't had much time for the Camaro. I WAS going to San Antonio tomorrow to pick up a new Cummins truck for a buddy, but that deal fell through so i'll be finalizing my wiring, gauges, and interior. Hopefully i'll get to finish welding my torque arm brace as well.
If i get a reasonable tax return, i'm going to pick up a 96mm Nick Williams throttle body from Vengeance, so the car MIGHT idle on its own.
I can't guarantee a video this weekend, but i'll try. I'll post it here, but i may also start a new thread just for that video in case there are some lazy people on this site who DON'T want to read through 31 pages of kick-***

I will read all 31 pages of kick *** again, Good info on the oil pan situation, that is some coin in a oil pan, but by the looks of this builder there is a lot of coin in the car. Damn thing is sweet.

Steve does the tuning on my car and all I can say is he a great guy to work with. If you bring this car to VA hopefully we can get together so I can check it out.

ok guys.......video has been made. it's uploading to the computer right now, and then it'll be sent to youtube. i'm going to get it uploading and then hop in the shower...i've pretty much worked 16 hours today so i'm beat, but as soon as it's on youtube, i WILL post it right here for all to see, REGARDLESS of sound quality. all i had to use was my Nikon S560 point-n-shoot, but it's better than nothing and it'll at least be proof that the car runs ...also on a side note, i had no idea just how much i sound like a total redneck until i listened to this video
