So what I'll be doing to my Camaro is going to the complete DOD/AFM delete so I'm coverted to a true LS3 (ridding of that L99 nonsense), having a custom cam installed, new lifters, springs, guides, etc., ZL-1 pump (as long as it can handle this application w/o a BAP), possibly might have him install the Aeromotive pump instead so if I expand in the future I'm not having to change pumps again or install a BAP, also adding a D1SC procharger and hoping he can do the wastegate idea that Padre went with and finally the tune of course. I'm hoping to net 600RWHP. Padre's setup is very similar and he's getting 617RWHP but I think we are a little higher in elevation and I'm not sure how much that will affect the numbers. Either way, with those mods, should have a pretty mean Camaro when it's all said and done.
Are you pretty happy with Sam's work so far? Does he seem pretty knowledgeable when it comes to these cars and engines? I've heard all good so far so I feel pretty confident. I'll keep you posted on the build when it starts and I'm sure I'll do a journal too. I have the same color Camaro. I want to change my solid middle stripe and go with rally stripes that wrap the front and back end of the car though. Also looking at getting the Forgestar F14 Wheels which I think are sexy as hell.
I'm Ken btw. Thanks for the info on Sam. Glad I finally got to talk to someone who has used him.

Ken,
You're going to have yourself a very nice build once it is complete! The D1SC is a very good blower and I know Sam has lots of experience with Procharger. You should be very close to your 600 RWHP goal with lots of room for more power if you ever decide you want more. This is a link to a LSX 427 F1R procharger build by Sam.

http://lasvegas.carsandcoffee.info/directions.php. I don't make it out there too often since I work every other Saturday, but there is a member that has a D1SC in his LS3/Manual. Sam built his Camaro and it is around 580 RWHP with the stock cam. You will be pleased with his work! Since his speed shop is at a dealership, you will get to keep your warranty which is an awesome benefit! He didn't build my car, he just tuned it for me.
This is the schedule for the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The Midnight Mayhem events are only 15 bucks, but the track isn't prepped very well. This is the same track the NHRA runs on, but track times are not the greatest due to the elevation and air quality. I look forward to meeting you and your ride sometime soon! You can check out our social group for our upcoming local events!
