Thank you so much my friend! That Hurst shifter against the red interior you have looks fantastic! My wife and I often talk about your Car. You have the big Cam too, and have to pop in neutral at intersections as cam surge riding the break is insane!! The cutouts are so loud I have to damper her down as straight pipes no cats anymore ( legal here if pre 2017) no cats, not the cutouts! This dream of mine did come true at a blow budget price of finish NZD $64K ! BUT WORTH EVERY CENT! Amazing blower combo setup!! Only Gen5 like this in our Country!! Will do a walk round video soon and post ! I'm one happy man! Had to borrow few $ to finish her but will pay that back and everything will be fine. Take are my Camaro friend!

PS: I know an airbrush champ and he will customise the fuse cover box in June as still doing tidy ups under what remains of the hood ! ha ha !

Thanks brother! And on the shifter, right now I have the billet black side plates on there, but since I went with some red CF inside, I also bought one of the last sets available of the REAL red rosewood side plates I am going to put on there, just haven't done it yet. Then it will be closer to a combo with the red CF. And yeah with the big cam, I don't have any bucking or surging at stop lights because I do have an auto trans with a 4500 stall converter, so it is just fine, but I do still put her in neutral since the lights are so long here, takes the pressure off the clutches and the converter.

Yes the red rosewood inserts...I've seen those and that will top off the inside red theme perfectly my friend...Nice! I didn't do the torque converter for my transmission as my Engine builder and I discussed what I wanted and love feeling the cam.... She doesn't stall but certainly drops the revs and chops away. Massive sound cam wise with the cutouts! Back to the Hurst shifter as feels like it's meant to be there the pistol grip a? Should of been factory!! Weather crap here now as heading towards winter, hopefully some fine days Heading here for outings as blown hood style sucking water not an option!!

Yep, nothing like a big cammed Camaro sitting at idle at the stop lights, AND with a roots style blower? Priceless!! Love it when they surge like they do! With my cutouts open guys have said my Camaro sounds like a "Pro stock car"!! That's cool. Anyway, I hope you have some nice weather to drive her a bit, and enjoy the fruits of your labor and money well spent!!

Yes you are soooo right! Yes hopefully some sunny days ahead here.The only whining I'll hearing is my blower and the MRS !! ha ha

Blowers?
Blowers on late model Camaros?
Yep - tons of bolt on aftermarket applications on them. Whipple, Magnuson, and also the Turbo crowd.

But a Roots blower on a late model Camaro? That readers - is no mean feat, and WAY over the top.

That brings the crowds at the car shows cause you just don't see it that often, if at all. You surely want your prized car to stand out.

Killer car in this thread, and a excellent build. No doubt a long, detailed, and expensive process.

But if you want to make a statement, go big, or go home.

Well done SS GF- I would be proud to have you park by the Bandit at a car show. Everyone else would not be happy with us drawing all the attention!

Ha ha, you know my Camaro buddy!! It all comes with an idea, then putting it in fruition and follow through no matter what !! Once I took ownership of the TBS blower and found my Engine builder there was no turning back ! My budget exploded 4 months in and the last 3 months it cost another Arm and a leg!! BUT hey end results are why we do this.....!! Dam shame we live on different sides of the world. As you said park up would be crazy stuff! Take care and no doubt will talk again.... Doing a live Engine cutouts open video soon and will post this !
