The other day I helped my buddy with installing new rear brakes on the Camaro and snapped a pic of it from the back since I probably never see it from the back again. lol

I removed the front sway bar this morning, that thing weighs 14lbs! I'm going to see how bad body roll is without it. It was non-existent with it so I'm sure that will change some.

I also received my new speedway upper A-arms and they weigh 2.8lbs. Anyone know what the stockers weigh?

I forgot to add that I weighed it on our certified scales at work and the truck weighed 3440 with me out of it and 1/3 tank of gas. I wish it wasn't so front heavy. (this was right after I got it back on the road)

I didn't list it anywhere really. Locally I had several friends that wanted to buy it but wouldn't because of funds or because they knew I would regret it.

Took the truck out lastnight with drag radials and wow did it feel good. The Yank ss4000 woke this truck up. I'm pleased with it and soon I'll start dialing in the AFR and timing closer to where I want them.

Also I did notice without the front swaybar it had a slight but of body roll but not much. It really helped transfer weight though. I was suprised with having stock replacement shocks and v6 lowering springs.

Your banned from having a s10 again! You scrapped a near perfect s10! Should have rolled a stock 5.3 in it, and sprayed the hell out of it with a 80E. Would have been a perfect daily. Could even have had A/C on it. LOL

I still dig your Camaro though!

I think I like building them more than driving them...my building flooded during Harvey so my office space has been temporarily relocated from over an hour each way to 10 minutes each way. With the newly found time, I've been having fun wrenching on the Camaro again. An hour here and there has gone a long way. I'm about 10 hours from having it ready for the chassis shop to take control of the project.

I'm getting it ready for LS Fest in Bowling Green. It wont be setting the world on fire but I plan on taking it and having fun. I will be trying to make it to the track (Gateway) before going to BG. If I make it I will post up times and how upset I am about the performance.
