    Love it man! Looks like a pretty mean Camaro to begin with, it's always awesome when guys with muscle cars get interested in drifting because their cars are always unique compared to the usual 180's or S chassis' and they just look so damn cool going sideways. What sort of power figures are you looking at and what kind of weight balance does the car have? Does it feel even front to rear? Very interested, keep the updates coming!

    We think that the 350cid produce 340HP/370TQ + 125NOS. This is pretty low, but a good base to begin with.

    Weight balance stock is 59/41 range, but I remove a lot of stuff in the egine bay (all heater stuff related, wipers, wiper motor, wiper linkage, windshield wahser, aluminium radiator, small overflowtank, aluminium intake, catch can), and I have a subwoofer in the trunk (lol)

    I didn't check the weight balance at this moment, no time :S

    So it will fit pretty whell. need to modify the Wilwood backing plate. But it will fit.

    Handle look solid, but the master cylinder look cheaps. Anyway I will try it.

    Got some low fuel pressure issue for the NOS. Re-tuned it at 6.7PSI

    Then I decide to wrap the headers. Damn job.
