Mann tell me about it. It took about 3-4 hours to complete the entire front stitching of the car. I went over it twice with a brand new pen so it can look nice and bright after it dries.

My Mishimoto catch can is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I hope install it later in the week. Looks like yours fits fine with the strut tower brace.

Yes the Mishimoto catch can will fit under the strut tower brace but if you want to check the oil can from time to time you will have to remove it unless you have little hands to turn it. The LT2 manifold is a nice mod to add for sure with no tune required. I've went road course racing with it with no issues or CEL. If you do decide to add it, you will need spacers for the strut tower bolts so you can have clearance. I have a C8 Cover for the manifold but I haven't tried that yet.

Well the time has come, I never thought I would say but I am extremely proud to say this that I have officially dropped my car off to Katech! I know I haven’t updated you guys in a while but I can’t wait to see the finishing results. I’ll share pics as soon as I get them and update y’all along the way.

Awesome! Looking forward to the updates. Wow, I've seen a lot of forum members getting work done by Katech in the last few weeks -- more than usual. I suppose springtime will be here soon and folks want their cars ready!

This is awesome, good luck with the build, brother

Don't you forget to post pics and numbers at the end so we can drool properly

BTW nice photo arrangement, feels almost like the final shot of episode 1 in a series.

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! You know I’m going to keep my Camaro family updated.

Quick update on the build. I finally got my first baseline numbers and I was curious to see what my car made with just the few mods I had which was LT2 IM, Ported TB by Mamo and Rotofab CAI. 391/345 is definitely not bad on stock tune

Numbers seem kinda low especially the torque. I wonder if the stock tune was compensating and making the car run a little rich in order to be on the safe side since you changed airflow a decent amount without changing the tune.

That’s what I was thinking. That could be the case i do know that the ECU from factory is torque based and the car really was compensating because the TQ numbers are low. I didn’t get any CEL with these mods but I figured I share what I got so people are aware if they was curious.

Well now that we got the baseline out of the way, now it’s time to focus on the finish line. The engine is out now. I wonder does this void my warranty

Interesting desk & work station that guy has! A little different than my cubicle.
