steve1968 your car is awesome. Did you have that lateral d rear system installed. If so, what did it cost. If not does anyone know roughly what the labor cost would be to install into a 69 camaro with the interior already removed.
thanks

About $3800 but you might as well try capturing a yeti.. which is unfortunate. I think Mark may still be making them if you're willing to wait a LONG time.

IMO one of the best systems out there. Where are you located?

She's at BOS right now where we will be pull the car mostly apart. The rear, trans and engine are coming out so that we can re-undercoat the bottom with something nicer.

The rear will be torn down, re powder painted and gone through by Currie enterprises. I think the tollerances are off on one of the ends resulting in a small leak.

The LS2 will go bye-bye and I will be building a 427 LS3. Instead of going crazy on stroke I will be sleeving a block at Darton. Concentrating on low and mid-range power.

Might swap to the AutoRad aluminum core support and radiator deal. I really like the HUGE opening afforded with this system and the massive size of the radiator.

Will also move from the radiator based oil cooler to an air type (Setrab).

Does it ever end? lol

No - not really....but it does keep getting better! And you have set the bar pretty high already!

Are you staying n/a with the LS3 or adding a supercharger?

Nice list of improvements for the season to come!! :cheers:

Are you going to replace the rack or rebuild the unit?:yes: :yes:

Sounds like a great plan, I have a little something up my sleever right now as well.

N/A.. hoping for 630hp and a ton of torque.

I just don't want to add the weight of a blower since it would hurt me on the autocross (might help on the road course though)

I will most likely have the rack checked out by AGR.. and the pump is already back at Turn One getting some lovin'.

We're pretty hard on the car so it's time to do some R&R. I don't want parts failing at the wrong time.. again...

Must be nice... Curie is right around the corner from my office. I'd love to check that place out....

So, it's getting a new 427 LS3, what are you gonna do with the LS2? And what are the mods planned for the LS3? What tranny are you using? What about the drivetrain? Any body mods? I WANT TO KNOW!
