Ugh, back to work today so the Camaro progress is going to slow down considerably. My hope is to start the mini tub installation next weekend. I've never tackled installation of them before, so it'll be a new adventure for me. Here they are sitting and waiting to go..

Also, I've been thinking a lot about safety and what kind of trouble I'm going to be able to get into with an LT4 in this car. Specifically, do I install a roll bar or not. After a ton of reading and learning from Ron Sutton's post on roll bars, I decided to pull the trigger today on a Chassisworks pro touring roll bar with removable side bars. I plan to take the car out on the track, but not enough to warrant a full cage. I hope...

From a chassis stiffness perspective I think it should be much better than stock with a 6 point roll bar, Speedtech weld in subframe connectors, and downbars from the firewall to front subframe. If anyone has run a similar configuration in an f-body and wouldn't mind sharing their experience with their car I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks again for following along!

Chris
