He has done several L99's with this configuration and said they run like a dream. I'll get more detailed info, specs, cam numbers etc, once they start the install. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do along with sharing the info with you all.

I love the mountain drive video btw. Your Camaro sounds like it just want's to sh** and get when you hit the pedal. Violent definitely sums it up. When are you going to run a 1/4 mile? Can't wait for that.

Also, was looking into some Eibach suspension coil overs etc to beef up from stock. What have you heard about Eibach vs. Pedders? Just curious. I have heard great stuff about the Eibach kits and I know Hennesey really likes their stuff.
I went with the 1000hp-crank Aeromotive 5th Gen Camaro pump (18673) - 600lbs/hr, with 80lb injectors. I think at WOT we were under 70% injector duty cycle.

I didn't go with the ZL1 pump because I thought it was rated to only 580-crank. Since I'm over 700-crank, I didn't imagine it would work without a BAP. That's why I'd love to hear how you do. If you can get it working fine, then maybe it is much better than its rating. As it is my Aeromotive is noticeably noisy. Scares the little old ladies at Kroger when I turn on the ignition and the fuel pump primes.

Suspension is something I would put a lot of research into. I bought the lowering springs and sways without planning, just thining they would help, but discovered that they hurt my 60-foot.

I love Pedders, but if you go that route, plan plan plan, then recheck your plan. I saw one vendor from here (Hendrix) at the track with a Pedders full drag package, and it was so tight he could not hook AT ALL. He had to put 400lbs worth of junk in the trunk to get a 1.8 sixty. So plan plan plan, and plan.

Of course, my goals were drag racing, and your's may be different.
