Hey Bruce, just read through this whole thread and all I can say is WOW. Your knowledge, desires and ability are amazing. I can not wait to see this car finished.

I am actually impressed with the extremes you are going to.

I have modded my car, well what I think of as mods and was nervous of that but this in on a whole other level.

You are talking fuel delivery systems, hell I am worried about installing the catch can that I just got yesterday.

What are your basic dreams for this car? Do you want to be the fastest Camaro . ?

I noticed your little boy on the first page , reminds me of mine. He tells everyone that the Camaro is his and he is just loaning it to me

, he is 11 now, gotta love kids.

Read this page, most of us are nervous upgrading the exhaust. Definately, speedster is the man. Want to see a vid of this vehicle in action.

Bring the chute

Geez, at least wait until dark to paint the lines !!!

This is a private road, right?

Thank You very much. But all mods are an undertaking. There is none too big or too small. That's what makes each persons Camaro unique.

Yes, but a catch can is very useful...

What are your basic dreams for this car? Do you want to be the fastest Camaro . ? Not really the fastest - there's always someone faster. Just wanted to push the envelope an little and be able to get 20+ mpg, run the air and tunes, take trips and then stop at local tracks and run single digits...

I noticed your little boy on the first page , reminds me of mine. He tells everyone that the Camaro is his and he is just loaning it to me

Yeah, they are a blast. Mine is 11 now too and he is always asking about the Camaro and the Firebird.

The exhaust is important. That was the very first mod done. But as you know, there are a LOT of people behind the scenes that have really add a lot of special features to this build. They all deserve credit...

There will be video(s) - that's the fun part.

Is this machine of perfection still being built?

I guess thousands of horsepower takes time, huh....

The state sends me a bill annually for it's up-keep, so I would say yes

There will be many videos. Hopefully not too many flashing lights in them.

Yeah, the FAA would just love that in their airspace.

Thanks for everyone's patience. It has been a long time.
Days from build completion at Oshawa to delivery: 91
Days between pickup from dealer and ship to CA: 12
Days off road since then: 543

Total Days On Road: 12
Total Days Off Road: 634

Yep, it's been a while...but should be worth it.

Thanks ! We hope the SST is something a little unique.

In the meantime just got back from the local dragstrip with the kids seeing Jet Funny Cars/Dragsters/Trucks at Orlando SpeedWorld. Always fun and got to hang out in the staging lanes and watch my neighbor run his 68 Chevelle so that helps with the patience...

I'm gone for almost 2 weeks and no dyno...

I'm gonna have to call Nelson..... and offer my help... Maybe I can fly down there and help him with the tune... I am an IT guy after all...
