Default LS Camino???

Well the time has come and I have made the deicision to jump ship from GEN 1 SBC. It's been a long run with that old girl. She been loyal and gotten me a long way. It's kinda like divorcing a girl you've been with since high school who's loyal and takes care of you. It's like that, except you're leaving her for a 21 yr old **** who has a tight body and is begging to please. When I told someone that analogy and we modified it a little, I was hooked on the LS train. So this is my build thread. More to come... wait patiently

A little update for chris since he got two little ones running around. We got the motor pulled out and it's ready to go up to Tick performance to get sealed for our local renegade class that he and I will both be running.

Breakdown of the car is
SBE 5.3 with stock 862s with PAC 1218 springs
E85 car with meth
Victor Jr intake with 3848 elbow with 90mm TV
Turbo in pic is a s480 T4 1.25 but he will be using a s471 on T4 flange with around same a/r due to rules.
Th400 into a ford 9in
Car is cage with race seats
Suspension only consists of BMR springs and now Koni rear adjustable shocks
Turbo kit being built by BMC Turbo and Fab with a non intercooled setup

Goal for car is 5.60-6.0 as that's what the class runs
