Spring is here in the Northeast! - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

It seemed like a long winter, but considering my lifter tray failure, sometimes the rebuild of the motor seemed like it would never end. I had the whole damaged head/ebay scam, tapping the block for the chain damper, and then flycutting the pistons (in the car). I felt like a project manager sometimes trying to coordinate parts (monthly budget-like), but it all came together slightly ahead of schedule. I was shooting for Limerock on 4/21, but they asked for me to help with pit-out and tower at Shenendoah on 4/8-9, so I'm off to the track next Friday. The only thing I haven't completed was the tuning. With the wideband I hope to have it taken care of the first day at the track. With the noise, track tires, no cats (upto $10k/6 months in jail in NJ), no street seatbelts, etc., tuning wasn't going to happen on the street anymore! So I officially retired the car from street use and took the plates off it last Sunday!---Man does it look a lot nicer seeing "CAMARO" on the front grille! Many thanks to Marcin for help with the tuning and upgrade from the LS1Edit dinosaur. All the motor work I did was in the car. If I had known what I was getting into, I would've taken it out....there wasn't much left anyway.
