Welcome aboard. Is your Camaro a 70 per the text or a 1974 per the title. Might make a difference in how people answer you. Start yourself a build thread in the Conversions Section and there will also be plenty for you to read and take notes on before asking questions - will save you a lot of time waiting for others to post answers to your questions.

^^^^Agreed. Also, posting pictures seems to generate a lot more interest. When you just tell people you have something it's not very exciting, when you SHOW people what you have it can be.

Good luck.

Oh, and this site has a ton of info that isn't necessarily easy to find. I have found that the best way to research something is to put the subject into a google search bar and then add ls1tech. Always get results that way.

"Best to use" is not easy to answer as there are way to many variables. If you've got a factory 8.5 10 inch now you can build that up and be good for 400whp.
