Thanks!

So far, so good. Very streetable, but I kinda wish I would have went with a monster or spec stage 3. I'm not driving around everyday on DR's so all the power ain't getting to the ground, so I'm not worried yet. lol.

It was perfect for the setup prior to the n2o install when I was around 440rwhp/405rwtq.

Plus all I do is buy parts and tools for my cars. I dont do drugs or have any bad habits. I have a good job and an understanding wife who aslo has a great job.I don't hunt,fish, or anything else. I mod them all and race them except my truck. My LS Camaro isn't the only one I have. 87 Buick Turbo T, 66 chevy II bracket car, 2000 Silverado (daily).

Have the most amount in my chevy II.

I could add all mine up, but that's not what's important to me personally. I spend the money for the enjoyment of the hobby.

I traded a 91 rs. Had maybe 1000 into that including purchase. Along with the Camaro, I traded my truck. I had maybe 4000 into that. So maybe it cost technically 5000 for the car. Then I traded some left over truck parts for my wheels, spent 550 on headers, 100 on lca's, 17$ for a scan gauge? Not much so far. So there's maybe 6000 wrapped up in the whole car. That number will rapidly climb.

Beside it's a frightening amount, and I don't want to think about it. It's fun to drive, that is all.
