I might also hold off on it, I need to get the Camaro running so I can install a converter on the 5.0. To do that I have to lift the engine, drop the K-member, remove the headers and starter, then remove the transmission.

10 rib crank pulley attached to the Super damper. I couldn't do a cog setup even with the upgraded bearings so this will let me prepare for a V7 YSI supercharger and make 1400 HP.

Got my new bearings yesterday for the Vortech unit so I put it back together with the new impeller. I'm in the home stretch now, putting the supercharger back on the car, running new PCV lines using AN fittings and braided lines. Going to be using a 3.33" 6 rib pulley till I get the tune correct for the camshafts. I'm upgrading all the clamps to the intercooler to T-Bolts.

It's been 2 months since my Camaro has been running, going to be scary starting it up the first time.

Random question but after installing the LFX manifold, what bracket did you use for your elite CC? I have the bigger version so im not sure If i need to modify anything to make it work, did you? Thanks.

I use the vacuum pump bracket on the front of the engine.

Just the picture I needed to see. I saw in the IPF CC fix thread that it looks like you used a G8 bracket so I went ahead and bought one of those.. Appreciate the help

There's enough clearance there for the intercooler piping?

I think it can fit with the stock ipf piping, had it before. The piping is now above all this, I can't take the ipf way since I have my transmission thermostat in the way.

Started the engine up for the first time, it started up, the cam does have some lope to it with no cam timing and the exhaust is deeper. Right now Bank 1 is running lean at idle, then when I gave it a little gas the O2 sensor just kept reading max lean, so the sensor probably sat too long and needs cleaning. I have a some tuning to do, the air load is about 5% higher and the throttle is opened 0.8% more.

Put the boost leak tester on and the sensor is fine, I have a massive leak on the #5 cylinder meth port.

Also when I start it up, it almost sounds like it struggles, don't know if that is from sitting for 2 months or that the heavier springs require a stronger starter.
