If I had the chance at one lightly used like that, I would have done it as well! I see you didn't change your fuel system to the LT4, does your AFR seem to stay in line good? I know you haven't been able to drive it much yet. I'm glad you're happy with it all and the car sounds like a beast. Congrats

I know its bad ass, but the drag strip is the real show of hp and torque. Get some drag radials and see if those numbers can kill it on the drag strip. Nice build and good vid.

Hey THANKS man... yeah this is by far the best tool in the shed. I've had it for about 12 years and have done countless header, clutch, exhaust, etc installs.

Appreciated!

Did you get a chance to verify helical or straight gears?

I went back and wathed your video on why you went the Procharger route, and I swear the car sounded more "rumbly" at WOT in that video. Did the Procharger somehow "mute" some of the sound? It still sounds good, but somehow seems a little quieter.

Keep up the great work man, your videos helped me choose my SS.

Matt, I haven't watched a lot of your vids. Generally too much talking if I'm being honest, but very informative content. This one though, one of my favorite vids I've seen on YouTube. Lol. So funny. Total hooliganism and I enjoyed every second of it! Looking forward to watching more of your adventures.

Good luck with a California smog check

I really like all the videos on the build, car sounds great. However you are putting your trust that some special smog shop will continue to pass your smog inspection every 2 years. That special smog shop may be gone in a few years. For me I would have waited until procharger was California legal they are working on this now. I would have done a California legal supercharger so that I don't have to rely on someone else to decide whether I can ever drive my car again. Once again thanks for all you do and I wish you the best of luck.

Congratz on your build Matt! really sounds and looks so beast now. That acceleration is incredible and can't image how much of a rush you get while driving it now. Best of luck and enjoy it to the fullest. Hard work and saving money does pay off. Just need to convince my brain to do the same on the money part. LOL
