I really like it, only feels like a stall when you are romping on it, stock driving feel all the other time.

No, still a 3.73. Building a 70 ElCamino with a TVS2300/ls1/T56 magnum so the Camaro is going to not have any changes this year. I have a 9" with 3.70 gear going in the elco, only because of the .5 OD of the Tremec.

How was the quality and the fit of the hood. Any large gaps, or did the hood appear to be square and close to OEM specs? How about the rest of the Anvil pieces?

No problem with fitment the front header panel is really light, and you need to be careful on how you tighten the grill to it to prevent making the panel wavy. Really happy overall after the really long lead time.
