Not super high compression, 12:1. Still run 93 in the main tank to feed the motor and c16 in the standalone to feed the spray. Running a 12-bolt, and you guys are probably going to laugh at me, but for the past three years or so I've been running it with a welded up eaton posi. When the posi started to go out I didn't have the money at the time to pick up a spool, so my buddy said to pull it out and bring it over and he would weld it up for me to get me by till I could pick up a spool, so I did and it's been goin strong ever since, so I figure why **** with something that's working!
This question may sound dumb but I had to ask it. What do you mean a 374 Squared? Like LS3 Square port heads? or is it something to do with the block its self? Just Confused and Curious.

When I first got it back together I threw it on a buddies dyno, put down 475 to the wheels.
When I say squared up ls1, that just means bore matches stroke, it's got a 3.9 crank and a 3.907 bore.

Thanks man, that was a 275 shot, still a baby shot, the plate wouldn't flow anymore when I tried bumping it up, after I get the glide in the car, i'm pickin up a new plate to try.

hey man that looks like an amazing ride and a great build!! Those Mickey radials are a hell of a tire... ive seen a car go 8.1x on those things..
you were saying that you were switching form a glide from your turbo and hoping it would go faster.. Although it is a little different set-up i also recently did the same switch. Its a 67 chevelle full tube chassis car, weighs 3050 with me in it with a 496 BBC 13:1 BB2 brodix heads 5400 stall and 4.71 rears. with the turbo with a 2.10 gear set it went 9.50@139 and I got a great deal on this glide from TSI thinking with the car physically being in high gear longer i would pick up ET and one or two mph. but actually it slowed down about a tenth and 2 mph.. granted a little bit of that might be the weather because it was pretty humid that day... it is way more constant now but it doesnt pick up the tires as much
but still a sweet ride.. excited to see what your camaro does! keep posted!
