Cool.
For ~5 years I worked with (and still do, just another car) 2 guys on a '92 Camaro done by JC. Pete Robertson origonally did the motor. JC does some quite perfect work with awesome brackets and perfect welds. They are origonally from the Chicago area so I dont know him, they do.

Graham,
Father and son team? Beautiful Blue camaro? I helped out a little with that car also.
JC is a one man show, and the best show you will ever see. A few of us do our best to help out and do all the stuff he shouldn't be wasting his time with, cutting, grinding, notching etc. Having my own shop I don't get down there as much as I used to or should, but that will change as the new car is under way and I'll be cutiing, grinding, notching, whatever he needs.
Say hi to the guys.

Randy and Kevin Mitchell.
After your accident I showed them pictures of your car and Randy told me he knew you real well and that your car was probably some of JC's work. Ive never met him but I did get to work on the blue '92 inside and out, upside and down, for several years until they sold it last year to start this 2002 Camaro.
Maybe we will see you in Joliet at the big NMRA-NMCA deal!
Later

Attention NoMoreLS1 and Speed Inc (INTMD8)
No more incessent bashing of each other in a thread that has nothing to do with either of you at this point. I'll be pruning this thread shortly to clean house and put it back on topic. I'd appreciate it if you would let your diffences in opinion go on this. Everyone has their own opinions of which none of them are related to the work that Dan was being complimented on.
Thanks.
Steve

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me for a turbo car.
It makes 153.7 rwhp more and 70.3 rwtq more than the "13 psi" dyno that they have posted. They don't state the boost level for this dyno.
Also...
Sheet metal intake
solid roller cam
AEM EMS
Those turbos look a "little" bit bigger, possibly 72mm? They have to have 3 inlets to 3.5 inch inlets too.
Some things about this car don't add up either...
"408ci LS6 (8.0:1)"
"6.0L truck block"
What type of gas was used as well?
Gary's Z06 is truly a street car. Stock pcm, 93 octane pump gas, all of the accessories are still intact, and the A/C still works. No ground clearance issues either.
When I see that you have to remove the a/c, use C16, the downpipe(s) run underneath the k-member, etc., the street car "badge" goes right out the window in my opinion.
Nice job Dan and Don from FLP!
