Yup spray foam is fantastic. Look into a natural gas box style heater. I have one hanging in the corner of my 6 car garage and it'll run my *** out of there in 15minutes if i let it. I think its like 150,000 btu's. You may need bigger tho my ceilings are only 11ft.

Heck yea. I live in a high wind area too. That was my thoughts. Do a thick layer of foam and not look back. I have radiant in floor heat because Im a ***** and I hate when my feet are cold lol.
Itll be badass though. Ill be like a lizard on a heat rock.

Best part about radiant floor heat in snow regions is having a dry floor at all time. Warm feet is a good one but not dragging cords and hoses acros the wet dusty floor is better in my book.

Keep up the good work though, looks like it's still paying for you to have fun.

Yea, being that I'm in the midwest radiant floor heat is not a thing here. Probably best to rock what your area calls for! lol! Looks like a tankless heater with recirculater and a **** ton of pex....

Picked up a few various parts and pieces finally.
I am going to vband the throttle body this go around. Really debating but might put the intercooler under the dash

Found a 175 amp ls1 alternator that seems like a good potent one.

Trying something new this year too. Hopefully It can squeeze me another 2-300 rpm of peak power. Here's to hoping or else a pro flo is going back on!

If anyone is interested in one get ahold of me!

Does anyone know if these things fit the stock F-Body cowls without cutting? I know yours is cut back to the windshield, but these look pretty short overall.

Until I try it I am unsure. I havent found anyone using it yet.
I have a friend with one on a coyote and its been bottom 7's@190+mph. So worth a shot right?

No more spending hours cleaning the camaro when I get caught in rain storms leaving the track! I searched high and low for months. finally found something that was really nice that I could afford. Continental Cargo V series. This thing tows and feels amazing on the truck. Highly recommend them! The torsion axle is the first one Ive pulled and it makes such a difference.

Unsure of how much I love or hate this. I definitely love the pro flo. Im hoping this has a little benefit. We will see soon enough I guess!
Definitely low and leaves cowl clearance in comparison but hugs the valley cover.
