dunno if you guys notice but the ls1 rear end pushed the tires out a bit.. which i dont mind! looks more agressive and plus, gives me more backspacing to put some more meat in the rears!

Looking good! I like how the tires are pushed out. Mine did the same thing. That thing is a hardcore sleeper haha. I wanna see it in person now!
I've been focusing on school mostly. Camaro got put on the back burner for a loooong time. Finally got back to it with a posi rear and new headlights, exhaust, and subframe connectors though so I finally get to drive it haha. Its a good feeling.

Do you have an estimate of about how much the LS1 swap cost you?

something odd happened this weekend. was gonna wash my car and suddenly it starting hesitating. strange huh. then it started chocking up for some reason. as i try to open the throttle it did not respond at all. could smell ALOT of fuel and white smoke. cranked it and couldnt start.. if it did it died seconds later. and on monday i tried it out and fired right up and was like nothing ever happened. it kinda hesitates a little when i step on it on first gear a bit. then after 2k RPM it kicks in and sinks me to the seat. gonna take it to the shop tomorrow to get it checked out and hope they dont take FOREVER trying to find out what the problem is and fix'n it.. man.. what a weekend i had..

I went to the Texas meet last year, was a very nice turn out - except for the heat. I haven't decided on going.

well guys got a call this saturday (apr 23) that my car is ready for pick-up and guess what it was.. the darn fuel pump.. man so many issues.. this better take care of my fuel issues.. and also they welded some leaks on my exhaust which im sure it took care of the ticking i had and was driving me CRAZY! thought it was a bent rod, which i don't even rev the engine no more than 5.5k RPM. and i know ls's love high RPM's and can go to 6.5k so i knew that wasn't the issue. ill update when i pick it up.

Wasn't it a new one that got put in? I hope it works for you this time! I know how it is to finish a project then get it taken away. I'll see you in a few weeks!
