pics are up!! just some quick shots i took at work today.

after the the 4.56's, longtubes and duals what cam do you guys suggest??
i know its a loaded question but what have you all been happy with in the past. i have built several old style sbc's, but understand that ls engines are a different ball game, the lack of low end in stock form is what im not happy with....
