Well, since i just kinda pop in and out. Heres a small update. Got the camaro ready, raced once at my local track. Did good, 3 consistent passes and the only issue was header bolts coming loose, which is normal.
Drug it 275 miles to a track near the Iowa border, made 4 great passes, going rounds in my class. Then when i made my 5th pass of the day it went good til i let off the throttle at the end of the track, it sounded like spoons in a blender. Zero oil pressure, and could barely get the car out of gear. Looked under the car to discover a broken transmission bellhousing. Number 6 since i owned the car. I brought it home and tore it apart to inspect the damage, the brand new transmission i had just had built to the tune of $1100 is now trash, luckily i got the motor shut down in time and only have to do new bearings and a cam. The bad news is, after 6 years, 2 motors, and 7 transmissions, enough was enough. I sold my beloved hot rod and first car. So I no longer own a camaro and have picked up another project drag car. One of these days id like to get ahold of another camaro as just a driver though.

So the car made 570 max. But the final safe tune is 560.
