Picked up a set of 243 heads and just finished assembling with Summits dual spring kit recommended for the cam I got. Now on to cleaning the block face which to me is the worst part of it all.

Yes, thanks for asking. I lost a couple weeks due to parts delays. Most recent was due to clogged pushrods I received. Make sure you inspect your parts!

I just finished assembly yesterday and got my car back on the ground. I still need to finish edits on the tune and should be starting up next weekend.

Thanks to WS6Store and Summit for the parts to make this happen.

Nope, wish I did. It is just a basic Z28 with the front sway bar and spare tire removed, then a heavy bolt on 3 point frame connector to put weight back on.

My hardtop cloth A4 z28 weighed 3440 stock, Id imagine your car weighs in the 3380-3420lbs range +/- depending on if its a hardtop or T-top. 11.6 @ 115 seems decent for the mods. Now to get it to work more efficiently and run a little harder. Congrats

Thanks, it is a hardtop. It was a good start especially the track i run. Everything is a little slower here. I would have liked to see a couple more mph for the et. But like you said lots of room for improvement.

I think it was the Stage 2 closer to the bottom of the list, the 226/238.
But I might be wrong. It's been 2 years....

Mavn might have been referring to his Sum-8715 Ghost cam...the 222. That’s a bit smaller than our stage 2 226 Sum-8707. And we have stage 2’s in truck and turbo versions as well.

I'm going to get the 8713 or 8714 from summit. would the 8714 stg 4 truck cam be a good fit with the circle d 2600-2800 stall?
