84z28ls1- Thats what i figured on the injectors, I used the baker electronics vats bypass for now, I plan on buying HPtuners or something similar, but for now i just wanted it running. It worked just fine, for fuel pump i used a walbro in-tank 255lph pump. I was planning on going to a plastic 4th gen tank and fuel system, but havent found one close enough to go pick up.

Tony-Should be getting the bottle filled today and then it is HRP time. I already have the BFG DR's and welds for up front. We shall see how it goes.

You'll be sick man.....I got tired of looking at that pile of gas tanks in my garage so I tossed that, all the fuel lines, basically everything i pulled off my car into the dumpster at a close by apartment complex...LOL

I got tired of it cluttering up my working space. The car is done now though

No mods yet the engine came with LS6 heads and cam, but everything else is stock torque converter and everything. It has 3.42 gears and should be pretty light with out the a/c and with the LS1. Hopefully i will get it to a scale before too long.
