Happy New Year to you to!

What do you mean "that's one of 'em"? Does the SST have 2 engines? I knew you were making it to be stealthy, but a hidden engine?

Nah, not for the SST. We previously did a FI 540 for a different car.

Happy New Year from the Great Wet North.

Nah. But it does sound pretty mean. Sounds like a growling Jaguar or Panther... Plus the temporary tubing looked like a balloon that was gonna pop. Start watching around the 2 minute mark. These were a couple of 91 octane runs.

good grief! that looks safe!

why didn't y'all go ahead & use metal piping? was that just used for the engine dyno runs?

Bruce,

To the most patient man in Camaro history, best of luck to you and the SST in 2012!! I hope to see it on the road soon.....and I don't mean hitching a ride on a flat bed!!!

Just temporary for the dyno runs. Wouldn't last long under real driving conditions.

Popped a clamp pulling a hill once, sounded just like the steer tire exploded !

I heard one of those 'Supers' explode once. Sounded like a grenade.
