I said it before, I will say it again. The minute I forked over the cash for the SC, I started my "376 Crate Engine Fund". IF and by the time something breaks, hopefully I will have enough cash to fix it.

I will say it again - with your low milage you can have a warranty from SLP!!!! So you do not have to worry.

Don't drive like an idiot and things are less likely to break. There are lots of guys like me who have done thousands of miles running around 600rwhp who are not breaking things. Get someone who knows what they're doing to do the work and you minimize risk.

Sure ... if you want to run a set of drag radials and drop the clutch at 6000rpm, things are going to let go.

I just noticed you're in Chattanooga. Pop on down to Dalton and I'll let you drive my 620hp D1SC SS.

Sounds like a plan! Hey, how come there aren't any Camaro clubs around here?

I was worried about the same thing but wanted more power under the curve. I installed a Magnuson TVS2300 (same as what SLP uses) and got EXACTLY what I was looking for. Awesome low-end torque! You won't be disappointed The only thing affecting my mpg is my foot now. Under normal driving it still makes 17 mpg driving around the city if I'm not constantly on it. Haven't taken it on a long road trip yet though. It's been holding up well, good luck!
