[QUOTE=MikeWS6 ]Cool.. What did you get done?[

the work that was done, Custom ground slowhawk cam on 111 lsa, with supporting components, Rxt Mcleod clutch set up, motive 4.10 gear
exhaust work, front and rear brakes, The numbers are not really important to me .Lets just say more work is needed to get it to the ground.and new motor mounts and new step headers are going in this week.the only problem i have with it is that when its running my grand daughter 3 years old starts crying
Next season more to come,,,,,

Thumbs up Thanks Don

I picked my car up friday from Don and I love it. He did a great job and even found a mistake I made installing my balancer. I cant say just how nice it is to have such a knowledgable guy so close to help. I recommend Don and the crew at Slowhawk to everyone. Thanks again guys.

Sweet. I'm trying to find something to add so I can bring it back. I'm already h/c so all that's left is a fast intake and a few of the 5hp mods. I'd like to hit 450/400 on that dyno.

One of our high 230's cam, TFS 215's,fast90mm, 1 7/8 headers with cutout and al the small bolt-ons. Was a real good driver too.

Sad part is a few of our cam only (headers,cold air) 10+ camaro's are making 470's. Love the LS3's.
