Hey Norm you could just buy Emma's engine and swap yours out, she could get the 427 Twin Turbo.......Just a thought....Don't forget we have the special installation tool.

There is no turbo lag on this setup. The total distance from the inlet through the intercooler to the outlet is less than 2 feet. That is as short as it gets.

Also, if necessary for poor atmospheric conditions or very high boost settings, the SST has a trans-brake. This lets me build boost at the line, wait for the tree to come down and then whammo !! off to the races.

The higher rev limit allows for a longer pull in each gear.

Maybe I should fly? Would you still love me without my Camaro?

I have to drive right past the airport to get to Valdosta.......just sayin'

Of course, you'd be bored silly in my V6....

, however, I would do some crazy driving to make for that deficiency!

Very true. And DE couldn't make it out to C5FestII. Now that she is all healed...

she'll be ready for Pony Wars. There will be no shortage of Camaros to ride around in. Looks like the attendance is getting up near 100 cars.

One surgery is healed. I am starting a clinical trial in early Sept. that could lead to surgery in early October. We shall see.
