Yea, I figured you've been busy and I was just waiting to here from you when you had a chance to catch up. I'll give you a call on Monday. Hopefully I'll be in a real good mood, that's if the Saints beat up on those purple people with the 40yr. old QB. Who Dat???

Dave that is some really nice work out there. Next time I am out there, I will stop by and see this for real. Lots of good ideas. Should run good in ES. Is it going to be ready for this year or u waiting for next season. Still looks like alot to get finished? How you going to wire it? We have gotten 3 "spaghetti wiring" kits so far and they are really nice.

Again, thanks for all the kind words guys. CJ I was kinda planning on doing my own wiring as that's what's really my background but ya never know I may take a look at that system. As for when it'll be ready, that's a tough one to answer. This is all coming out of my own little pocket book and I'm trying my best to build it with the right parts and that takes some big coin. Maybe I need to market it and pickup some sponsorships, anyone out there? Anyway My feelings are, if the Saints could make it to the Superbowl then I should be able to make this car become a reality!!! Who Dat??? Give me a shout if you want to stop by sometime and visit.

Yea man I wish I could afford one of those dart billet blocks like your doing. But after seeing the awesome results Phil has with Shawn's built bullet over at Virgina Speed I'm going to have Shawn build me one of his LS2 blocks converted to a 427 with all the bells & whistles topped of with some All Pro 6 bolt heads.

My other 69 Camaro I'll be building is going to be a protouring car. I have a set of twin turbonetic 61mm turbos to force feed an LS2 with a richmond 6 speed trans. I'm going to be using the front a rear suspension off of this Corvette to get that car to handle like a train on a track. I can't wait to get started on that one. It'll be a car that I can drive anywhere.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Chris Alston develops on your car for the forth gen. You just know it's going to be some good ****!!!

It's been a while, but while I was gone we had Twins!!!!



























Twin 88's that is!!!



As I posted earlier I will be able to run twins or a single. All I'll have to do is switch out the cradle in which the turbos are mounted on and a bit of plumbing.

Here's a few of pics of my intercooler.
