Been a while since i've been on here. I still need to meet some of you guys. But I do have some interesting news. Turns out my company may sponsor me for the LSX shootout. I have no idea of the details as they have never sponsored a car before. I work for Compucom, we do all of the IT work for the big banks, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, CitiFi, and an awful lot of cisco work.
Maybe I can get them to buy me some tires, or even a motor. Who knows!
Either way i'm going to have to build an LSX motor here soon.

I don't know right now. May just start a whole new car. I really don't want to have to deal with all of the wires for LT1 to LS1. Plus I just spent 2500 at kitlers on my heads and valvetrain, have to get it all put back together and have some fun with the ole LT1 for a bit.
On a second thought. Anybody have any extra nitrous parts? Maybe i'll blow it up then go LS.

I will definitely keep you guys updated on the progress. I need to get some practice and start heading out to the track once I get done with my car. I've only been to the track once back when I had my 350Z.
On a side note, can anyone make any recommendations as to stuff I can do while the car is still torn apart?
Things I have done/am doing.
MSD OPTI.
MSD Wires.
Pacesetters.
New Waterpump.
Underdrive pulley.
Headgaskets.
Heads milled and ported at kitlers, new comp springs, etc.
LS7 Lifters.
Rear end from u auto pull it. (Carrier grenaded getting on I20 a little while ago)
And some suspension stuff.
Cam if the wife lets me.
I would really like to install 4.10s in this thing, but I fear I would screw something up with all of the shims and stuff I read about.

1 fuel solenoid, 2 nitrous solenoids, 1 nozzle/fogger ,1 long nitrous line, a toggle/arm switch, and a set of bottle brackets. You'll need some jets, a bottle, have 2 short lines made (one for fuel rail and one for the purge), and a button or full throttle switch. Ill take $120 for what i have. Ill help ya install everything for a few bucks more.

Well I got the camaro to crank up last night. Won't hold an idle but that may be because I have so many sensors and wires disconnected. I hope I didn't screw anything up when I put the MSD cap kit on my opti. Opti was fine before I tore it apart. Probably going to have to screw with the valve lash too.
