The Snow Performance computer & controler was mounted on top of the steering column.

Very cool Gib. She'll be a monster. Glad that you/the shop are taking their time with the tuning to get it "just right". That's the way it should be done, especially when throwing variables into the mix such as the meth mix and so forth. GOOD DEAL!

Very nice. The suspension and rear gears upgrade should help in the time and in traction!!

Good to hear from you

Hey gang

I am still recovering from my amputation, heart attack, and stroke. Several more years of physical therapy ahead of me. Can not type worth a darn because of stroke. I still have not driven the Camaro yet. May have to sell it. I had so many more plans for it.

You can go to futralmotorsports.com to see dyno numbers, pics and a video of it at the track. Should break into the tens with a shot of nitro in the water/meth tank.

501 RWHP/466 ft. lbs. TQ
11.2 sec./126 mph

These numbers were on regular 87 octane pump gas...not too shaby!

Wish I could make Camaro Fest to meet every one. Ya'll post lots of pics & vids.

Hi all,

Still in recovery mode. GM High Tech Performance Magazine photographer/reporter flying into town next week to do a feature on my car. Not sure which issue it will be in. Wish I could have finished the car (had lots of plans for it). I will probably put the car up for sale after the article comes out.
