Ha! Doesn't seem like to many big builds going on this winter let alone scraping a 9 second car and starting from scratch. This is could the smartest or dumbest thing I've done to date!!

Prob warping up the build next week. Don doesn't screw around and they don't milk the time. They work.

Next week it's just throwing the blower and intake on, some plumbing, meth kit and the drivetrain consisting of the 9" and 15" kit. All the parts needed to finish will be there on Monday.

It goes from the rack to the dyno for some 50% pulls then off to get some miles.

Then back on the dyno to finish.

The second I get it back I'll be looking to get to the track ASAP.

It's close. Very close.

I feel the pressure. LOL 1 week?
Most should be done/ running next week. Got to play with some boost levels and see how it does. We want to run it on the soft side first to sort it out. Then turn it up.

That's what Matt said. Blame him. He said 3 days but I gave you a week. As long as you're not spending all day looking for bolts in the boxes you'll be fine.

Thank you! Hope you're doing well. Great to be able to update my own stuff. This dude building it slacks off on occasions and apparently is getting Parkinson's bc his camera work is shaky as f#*k!!

Hey Jamie.
Did you ever considered going with the Moser solid rear axle setup?
It would have been the perfect car to do it.
But then again,timeline could have been an issue(availability)

Prob overkill on this car. IRS camaros have gone way faster than me so I think we will be fine and like you said, availability. It's almost feb and time to start racing/driving it again.
