Got everything done and buttoned up last week. Motor is a 2001 LQ4 with LS3 CNC ported polished heads, Trick flow 278/286 .625/.625 lift 113 lobe separation cam, trunion upgrade, Trick flow springs, LS7 Lifters. Weisco flat top pistons and K1 rods. Induction is Holley single plane intake with a Sniper EFI TB. Motor is stout, should be around 600HP at the crank.

LOL it's all good. I have a list of about 25 plate names I was trying to come up with for the car. Still haven't settled on one yet. LOL Thing I hate about KY's system is you can have 7 letters for the plate, but one of them has to be a dash or space. What the .....?! Never heard of that crap. So about 5-10 of my choices were automatically eliminated just because of that stupid rule. LOL

Never heard of Camarofest...where is it and when? I'll have to look it up. I am planning on going to LS Fest in Bowling Green though.

Hey this is Jermaine. We met last year at the LS fest. We was on the hill track side with the small BBQ grill. I see you got your car together and it looks great.

Camarofest is at Beech Bend July 12,13 and 14th. I’ll also be at LS Fest. I’ll be parked at the Holley booth one of the days.

Awesome. Nothing wrong with being parked in the Holly booth!

I'll see if I can make it to Camarofest. I'll have to look up the info and see if I can make it. Definitely won't have my car ready to go by then, but it will be fun to attend anyway. I don't even think I'll have it plated for LS Fest, but who knows. Weirder things have happened. Not that it is anything to compare to yours or something. LOL!
