ok, im new here but im on the other tech sites. uh yeah if you've got 572's then dam. thats nice.

as far as the motor that was in the charger in the fast and furious, its funny that your boyfriend would give you that dramatic response. XD

idk wtf it is exactly since i havent seen the pic but you wont be putting it in your car or working on it for a while.

Btw is your car red or blk? and did you drive through virginia beach today? i thought i might have seen you. i saw like 3 Z28s today and im usually the only one with a camaro out here...

If the engines have "572" in cast raised letters on the valve covers then don't worry about them.

To answer another question about a chip.. unless your car is really a 1993 model computer and engine harness then a chip isnt a possibility. But along the lines of "chip.." if you change Anything about the engine than a mail order engine tune is somewhat going to be a miss (literally in some cases). Make the engine your own and let a tuner with a chassis dyno feed the powerplant what it wants.

Lynchburg is about 45 minutes from me. I'm in South Boston. I'd really like to check out the 987hp camaro of your boyfriend's. I know a lot of guys from that area. I'm surprised I haven't heard about it till now.

Agreed. I understand having fun and all, but I can't even wrap my mind around how stupid this is. I mean really?! You act like you are ready from some hybridized script from the Fast and the Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds.
