Thanks Lee! I just uploaded a few more pics.

Wow!
Jeremy, That thing looks very well thought out. I'd be interested to see how the tri-Y headers work out. I've heard mixed reviews. Looks like you've got Caltracs bars on the rears. Can't wait to see more pics. What kind of RPM are you planning on turning?

Welcome back.

Beautiful. Do you think that 700 R4 is going to hold up

Thanks Mike. The tri-y headers were highly recommended by my machinist. The fit and finish is second to absolutely none. I'll take pics of below the car, they actually tuck up in the frame, not like most long tubes that scrape the ground! I have not been more pleased with a set of headers, ever.
Being the guy went with a hydraulic roller cam, 6500 rpm max. Engine is at 11:5.1 compression, so it does enough by 6k or so, and I have the MSD set at 6200rpm for safety ( owners safety ). The thing red lines in a heart beat, and is an absolute blast to drive!!

Thanks Jeff! The transmission was not my personal decision, but it was one of their "race" set ups. It feels really solid so far. The owner and his son have beaten the crap out of it every weekend for the past 5 weeks or so. Rear end did get toasted. LOL

What wheels are they? Very sharp

nice build Jeremy!

Thanks Dale. I haven't see you since like 2005!! Hope all is well.

As soon as all the interior is in it, which is done by my buddies brother in law, I'll take some videos for sure. Its too hard to drive, shift and video at the same time from inside lol. But I promise!

What wheels are they? Very sharp

They were Raceline Speedster 5 wheels. Nitto 555r tires. 18/17 I believe was the wheel size.

Thanks for the comments guys. I got lucky with this build with a friend introducing the owner to me, really cool dude. I have a few other potential builds, We'll see. The camaro was like the scent of a woman. Once its on you, more come around!!
