Add another Turbo Camaro to the "running" list! We finally started her up tonight and everything looks good. Brian still has alot of tuning adjustments to make and there are a few loose ends to tie up, but she fired and ran! I was shocked how tame the car is now. I was so excited that I did a little dance. Brian was laughing at me. Good thing we didn't have the video camera going 
I'll try to get some video this weekend

Although, I am sure you guys would find it as hysterical as Brian did! 
I can't wait for the Power Tour. Have you checked out the route yet? Looks like this will be a good one. Although, I am skipping the second lunch stop so I can go do some RACING!

I'll keep the video on the car... No one wants to see the white girl shake her groove thang
Its the Stainless Works piping.. Definitely not a "bolt-in" kit, there's several things that need to be "tweaked" to make it fit properly. I've documented everything that doesn't go in easily, so if al @ sw wants to update the kit, it should come out pretty easy to install.
The kit is geared towards smaller compressor housings -- using the T76 meant moving the engine about 1/2" to the passenger side of the car. The biggest problem was interference with the steering joint though, which required me to rotate the steering rack and move the joint away from the downpipe.
Without the fancy molded silicone hose that came with the original kit, a portion of the cold side piping needs to be fabricated as well. The air filter arrangement is pretty tight as well -- the best solution would be a custom molded pipe, but we made some Home Depot stuff work
More photos soon

You won't regret it.. I can plainly see why Parish and Dieselgeek are so impressed with it. This thing really is a nice unit, for an unreal price. Once some projects are off the radar and things calm down, I'm going to look into hacking up another MS to read the factory crank/cam sensors, and fire the factory coils
Congrats on the finished product.

Custom fabricated intake piping, coming from the intercooler:
Home Depot plumbing dept cold air kit, with a big honkin' K&N filter on the end

Nearly finished view, only have a few small things to tidy up!
