Well, figured I'd post up about my car, and what I'm doing to it with some pictures to go along.

95 Z28, bought as a roller at the end of December. Hopefully I'll have it running by late spring. Details on the build are:

Fully forged 383, LE heads, Custom LE cam ( most likely solid roller I haven't had it made yet ), undecided on an intake at this point :/. I have a fully ported LE intake that was done with the heads but still kinda want to do a single plane setup. Fully built TH350, trannybrake, etc. 9 Inch, cage, all supporting chassis work, and TONS and TONS of weight reduction. Looking for the car to weigh about 2800 ish when all is said and done. Goals are around 440-450 on the motor and to run consistent 10.80s NA. Once I have it dialed in pretty good on the motor I'll put spray to it and hopefully go 10.0s / 9.90s. Here are some pictures.

In case you wondered, NO there aren't any wires there that aren't essential. I'm already at 15+ lbs of wiring taken out.
