yea I have a question... How about showing us a picture of the passanger side....


anyways, the LS3 should work very well, and I see some mid low 10's on the motor with your weight..

I just cant get myself to gut my car like you have... Just take a look at our Nova... still has everything in it. I love my race cars that way lol

You like your women that way as well LOL


Hell it already went a low/mid 10's on the last setup...10.4

Hope to see some lower 10's and then drop to the 9's with suspension work.


ps. the passenger side looks good now

yea i thought you were sticking with the same gmpp intake as your ls2/l92 headed combo haha sorry for the confusion, man i cant wait to get my 6.2 on the road i bet you feel the same way haha, nice build btw

but what i meant to ask was about your cam choice, is lg the best thats out right now for the 6.2? i cant find any other cams custom specd or otherwise that deliver near the power that the g6x3 cams are. any other brands you recomend before i order this cam?

right now the best thing I can say is try it and see.

When the fast 102 intake comes out, I think that might change some things a little.

I went 6.75 1/8 mile with the l76 choked up. Never went faster than that with the gmpp. I could have got the l76 faster.

Who knows. I would guess about ~30 or more. No more than 50.

Hey, did you cut your spare tire well, t-top well, and that other useless well? I'm just curious, cause we have a white camaro very similar to yours. We cut the wells out of the rear end, probly lost about 50 #. (that number is off the top of my head) This is what it looks like.

I have not, yet. I would like to. I plan on doing all of that when I do some tubs in the rear. I think Chris Morales in the drag tech section lost about 75-100lbs in the rear from doing tubs and cutting extra metal out.
