Those #`s are corrected, im happy but I know there is alot more, as does the dyno operator. Im not sure if the pic I posted shoes the AFR or not but it was ******* 13.9-14.5 from 2,000-4,600 and then drops to 12.0.

Ya I know it! I know it pulls strong, I would just like to see what it puts down when its operating correctly! My low end torque should pick up good when i get it richened back up, and the should pickup all the way aross the board with appropriate fueling. I never got a chance to try any timing changes or anything :/

Not yet. My mechanic has been having problems with shop and is moving so next week he can see the car. It's just parked downstairs.
We think from most probable to least:
1. Valvetrain, valve might of dropped or lifter stuck
2. Piston piece broke off, not ring, and is smacking the head
3. Supercharger may be fucked up making sound
If it's:
1. Just buy new valvetrain, get some nice heads, and boost more
2. Stroker or new long block
3. Turbo
Right now I don't really care about the Camaro. More interested in this SRT8 I just ordered. Thing cost me 70k+.
Yeah I heard they're slower 1/4 mile but faster 0-60. And they are A LOT MORE luxurious. Nothing a vortech can't fix.

Yes they are more luxurious in the fact that it is a softer SUV. The WK1 is more raw muscle with stiff suspension. The WK2 has a softer ride. They are also significantly heavier than the WK1, which is the only reason it is slightly slower.
I love the looks of the new ones, especially in that white. *drool But I like the ride and performance better in the WK1's which is why I decided to keep mine, rather than trading up.
I'm sure you will love it though! Do you not get to pick your own color and options?
