Car's looking good and nothing wrong with an LS2 Scott! L92/LS3 heads a cam and a tune and you're well north of 500hp...

No,I will let the next owner upgrade the horsepower.I will just finish the car and tune the chassis.That way if someone just's want's a great driving camaro it's already to go.But if they want something to go out and run w/the fast group all they have to do is the motor work you discribed and they are in the ballpark.

That's the better way to do it if the plan is to be willing to part with the car eventually. Sort it out and prove it's reliable and built right. The last thing you need is some jack wagon complaining because you put a lumpier cam in there than they are happy with.

Keep up the good work Scott.
