Car looks great! What hood do you plan on running? Also who made the headers and how well do they clear?

The hood is a 4"cowl,and the headers are hooker 2455's.They fit decent after cuting and rerouting #s 1,3and5 . Took it to the track today and confirmed what i already knew,I need some coil overs for the front and shocks and anti squats for the rear.I sold my old kyb's and eibach drag springs when I started this build and now have just stockers up front and the small springs for the minni tubs out back.Only made two passes running 6.57 in the 8/th with a 1.6 60'(no mph available ) spinning my *** off and pedaling and coasting to an 11.52 1/4 letting out at the 1/8th

i saw it but the only reason i asked was because i thought all LT1 Camaros had black around the headlights and V6 models were the same color as the rest of the body like his is. Also the badges have been shaved.

Yep,it used to be an LT1 car.Started out as a daily driver,then just kinda snowballed.Ran a solid roller 383lt1 on nitrous for about 2 years,but never could get it in the 9s,close though(10.0s to 10.20s).And yea I know the times are horrible ,but its' like riding on skates right now.I'm going to get the suspension right before I go back to the track,but this time was just for shakedowns

No, V6 cars have the black headlights and grill area same as the other models.

It's a Z28.I had it repainted and didn't put the badges back on,and just had the headlight area painted like the rest.
