that's BS you should see what I can do with a Paper Mache. I know I am a dying breed but man is it fun and you can get the kids involved at any age.

Here is the recipe just in case you get bored tonight and want to make a intercooler or something crazy.

Mary that's the logical next step for me. They just told me no more sharp object so scissors are out.

Marty that's high praise indeed.

Thanks Vince, Justin is getting pretty dangerous with the 3D stuff. He is starting to design and bring into production his own suspension parts. He met last week with the machinist to get the prototype cut.

We were considering the MAST heads as part of the engine rebuild. After speaking with Patrick Guerra who spec the new road coarse inspired cam, he suggested if we were looking for a superior head, to look at the newer Trick Flow LS3 255. He said they have an LS7 chamber which moves the intake valve away from the chamber wall which reduces valve shrouding and improves hp a great deal.

I will be interesting to see were we end up power wise.

The only bad part is having to remove all the casting to make these smooth as it's a lot of work!

Always great to see your gung-ho mad young scientist's latest accomplishments.

You probably started him out early, huh Al?

That's how I taught them math, LOL

BTW, guys the boys are selling a lot of the stuff they pull off on Camaro5.com I figure I'd give you guys a heads up in case you are interest in any of the parts.

Al, what was the reason for the engine rebuild again? I thought you guys had a built engine for the car already?

Good luck to your son on getting those parts made and sold. He's got a heck of a calling card he's building.

Trey I wouldn't call it a rebuild as much as an upgrade. The short block will stay intact. Just changing the cam, wet to dry sump, heads, and intake. Ascetically, replacing the current CF valve cover with a new set of Katech CF covers specific for this build. Just the proverbial snow ball effect, LOL
