Default LS3 advice

Hey everbody, I am a NEWBIE. I am looking at the 525 hp LS3 crate for my 68 Camaro and would like to talk to anyone that has one in their car. I am currently on Lat-G daily and this site looks awesome. I guess I am going to have to eat my meals by the keyboard to get my daily fix.

Got a budy doing the exact same thing in a 69. You and him are at the same point though so not sure if he knows anything you don't.

What tranny? FI or Carbed? What fuel you want to run?
