Nice thing is he's only about a half hour drive from my house since I'm seriously considering doing the "race block" from them and beefing up the trans and doing their turbo.
I'd do wot-tech if you go that big. They actually test all their stuff, just my opinion tho lol

Can't wait to see the finished product. I have some ideas for mine but it'll be a while before I can try them out.

That painted engine cover pictured here looks BA. I still don't know if I want to paint my 5.3L cover. For now, I just repainted the lettering since it was wearing off.

Yeah I have a ton of ideas for my car in general. Most of it will likely have to wait till I have it paid off late next year though before I can really start pumping money into it (and the Camaro). Although if the Army sends me to reclass for 3 months I may be able to pay it off early. We'll have to see though.

Haha yeah I meant that as in the cover pic you posted here in this thread. For mine, I've actually thought about just black, or a combo of black and red, black and white, or black and silver (like the two-tone in the pic you posted), but I don't know if I really want to paint it.
