Default SSR with a Cam anyone?

http://www.ssrfanatic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18133

Got Olaf's truck (I think) running today.Kind of funny hearing a SSR loping like it does.

I will say this.Headers are a bitch to get in there and watch out for the power steering line that like's to melt on the headers

So what's tougher to work on space wise, the SSR's or f-bodies? I'm in the middle of pulling the heads and have gotten pretty good at it. I find it similar to JENGA, strategize a move first, then be very steady and careful and don't get in a hurry.

The SSR does sound good. Congrats.

It is a bit heavy at 4700 pounds but the 4.56's make up for it and yes it is an LS2.

Damn that's a tank.

Thought they would be more like 4200. Guess that electric hard top weighs a ton.
