1997 427 Camaro
Sorry guys I haven't checked this in a while. No vids or numbers. It never made it to the track last year. We got the cooling issue solved very late in the year. I used a Griffin radiator. It was 18.5 X 27.5 X 3.25. I have dual 11" fans and a aluminum shroud on it. Really nice piece and it only cost $700 complete from griffin.

Big News:
Got the car to the track made 5 passes only 2 were full since I had never taken it down the strip before. First pass was an 11.49. Granny shifted into 2nd way to early because of the wheels coming up.
Second pass I repositioned where my hand was and the car ran a 10.67 with a 1.45 sixty foot. At that point we decided to pack it up.
There is more in the car though. I hit the brakes early on the 2nd pass and launched off the foot break instead of the trans brake. I'm pretty sure the engine will rev a little higher. Next time I'm going with a shift light.
I also weighed the car at the track and it scaled out to 3000LB. So I reached my weight numbers also. There might be a few more LB's hiding though.
Thanks to everyone for following along on this crazy journey with me. As always if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks again,

CONGRATS on a great build! You obviously have a ton of patience sir. The finished product is a very high quality piece. You should be grinning from ear to ear when your behind the wheel....
Thanks guys. It's a lot of fun to drive.
I owe a lot to this site and all of it's members so thank you LS1TECH!
I love driving it with open headers but I wasn't to happy taking what I guess to be $50 worth of M/T ET streets of the quarters today though hahah.
