You ever get to that ONE point...... It just comes to much of a hassel trying to fix the dam car evey week or so and you just want to say good bye to it....
I keep having these fuel issues were it will run great for about a week and then want to die constantly for about a day... Every thing on the fuel system has been replaced with in the last year but it acts like it wants to die when you give it gas...
I've been thinking about selling it with the extra motor that i have been building over the last couple months but im not sure if i could get any were near what i want for the full set-up....

I have a great understanding of your situation. I installed my h/c and 120 miles later broke the posi in my 10 bolt. Put a 9" with new DS and 200 miles later I snap the torque arm. Replace with an UMI tunnel mount ta w/dsl and about 150 miles later spin a lifter destroying the motor. Keep struggling or upgrade. Having another mode of transportation makes it alot easier as well.

Your situation is a bit more complicated since you owe money on the car, but IMO I would finish paying it off asap then get a rebuild as soon as funds allow to start "fresh".
Maybe garage it for later if you cannot swing a rebuild - maybe eventually it will be a classic as the "almost last" generation camaro and worth something

Im contemplating selling my damn car so I can pay off my truck, or get a used bike for a good price. I have a complete fuel system upgrade along with some other odds and ends that are just sitting under my bed. I've been trying to get my rockers adjusted but I dont have any time, and after that I need a new tranny. Im pretty sure after I get that fixed im gonna break the 10bolt on a nitrous pass. Im finding that these LT1 cars are starting to show their age, mines already 14yrs old.
