Thanks guys, i will get some more pictures up of the progress and hopefully have a start up video of it in a couple weeks. I dont have HIDs, they are just regular bulbs besides the brights and they are some blue bulb that was in them when i bought the car. i never use them bc u can't see **** with them at night.

Tommy over at Twisted Minds Racing is a really nice guy. Just had him tune my camaro. I trailered it from Suffolk County (Long Island) New York all the way to him in Tabernacle, New Jersey. Well WELL WORTH IT!

As for the 408 question on how much it could cost. My last 01 Camaro SS I bought a Built LME 408 and it costed me over 15 thousand dollars for the motor (fully built though, but no fast 90/90. I had LQ9 heads and truck intake)
