I probably missed it somewhere, but what did you do about getting the brakes hooked up with everything. Also, what parts if any, did you have to use with the t-56 to get it to mate to everything. Did you have to use a set of camaro pedals, etc... I have a 92 notch, I have the 6.0l Just a few more questions and Im good to go. By the way, badass car, and write up. I am another person who is building solely because of your thread. lol

awesome, thanks man, I have a 4l80e to go in it, but I don't know if I want to keep auto for drag racing, or put a t-56 in it to do a little road racing with it. Ill give it a look.

Mine got 22.5 last tank, I was somewhat nice to it though this past week so the results are somewhat skewed, compared to my normal driving habits
