Hello,

This is my first post on here, I'm looking for a little advice on what I can do to simplify my engine install and overall build of my car. Maybe some guys who have done some extreme modifications can get me in the right direction. I'll try to give a little background on the car first.

It's a 2010 Camaro automatic with a LS3 conversion and Hellion twin turbo kit. I've had the car for awhile now but it never has seem to run at a 100 percent due to many incompetent tuners/installers in my area. Turbo issues, fuel heat issues ect ect has plagued the car. It still put a decent 751 on the dyno with pump gas but still had issues to where driving it was very uncertain.

So, come last August, I was coming home from a C&C event and my engine caught fire. Most likely due to a fuel leak combined with the extreme heat my turbos were putting out. Well insurance totaled the car and I bought the car back and it now has a salvaged title. Therefore, my decision was to get the engine rebuilt and for me to attempt to do much of the work myself. So far the bottom end has been rebuilt to handle 1000hp on E85. Much of the wiring was destroyed, so I was able to relocate the ecm and fuse box to cabin blower area near the passenger firewall. The AC was also removed.

I'm getting ready to put the engine back in. I was wondering what else can I get rid of or delete that is not necessary for the function of the motor. I don't have to worry about emissions or inspections. The car is now pretty much just a weekend driver no need for creature comforts. The only thing I would probably want to keep is the power steering, Thanks for reading and help would be appreciated.
