my truck should come first but i aint got the money to throw into it right now or the time. So i know how you feel dt and it sucks. I got a summit stage 3 street/strip intake on the truck now just need a full manual shift kit for it for now and buy the other block and save up for a $2,000 rotating assembly zero balanced and the block bored .040 then gots to save up for heads, turbos, turbo carb, intercooler, piping, etc. Going for a 360 stroked and bored to a 410 with twin turbos hoping to get 700-800 hp. I'll deff have to take you for a ride in it dt when i'm done then you'll want to start building a v8. Oh and still street legal.

yeah well i knew that i'd have to go boosted to have that much power and still be a reliable daily driver and i have to choice of either going twin turbo or roots style blower. With the roots style blower i'd have to change the pulley to lower or up the boost and it's harder on an engine where the twin turbos i can cruise around with 6-8 psi daily on pump gas then go to the strip with racing gas and up the psi to 30 or so and have all my power that i want. Plus it's a great starting point cuz i could always add nitrous and more psi to get even more power if i choose to do so. I really want to have a 7-8 sec truck in the 1/4 mile. I'm sorta a hp freak stuck with a neon for right now lmfao. I'm getting a bachelors for high performance motorsports and plan on opening or working for a high performance engine, tranny, suspension shop i don't want to change oil, spark plugs, wires, etc. for the rest of my life.

Ha Ha!! . That last thing I did to my car was buy 4 new tires. I went to NTB since I needed them bad and there just right down the street. Now if I dont want I can keep my rims on in the winter since my new tires are all season.

The new camaro does not look all that great to me yet. Maybe it will grow on me, but I've never been a fan of them anyways. My next car will probably an import, unless one of the big 3 intends on making something of interest by the time I'm ready to buy another car.
