This should be a poster car for these wheels...the ride height and stance are perfect...I haven't seen a better set-up...

Thank you Belair62...I couldn't agree more...although I am slightly biased .To me these qualities are SOOO important and I'm proud to say that all of my cars have the "correct" ride height and stance...it pains me to see cars up in the air,especially in the front and especially upon accelaration.
This car sits so perfectly,I don't want to do anything to it to upset the combination.

mockingbird812,

Currently,it has the stock 4:11 gears and yes...I love the whine of the M-22 gearbox!
Those Bill Mitchell World BB's with about 560 hp should do the trick nicely i would think .
I am having Chad Golen (www.golenengineservice.com) build me a 550hp/383 stroker for my '69 Z currently so I may have him built my next motor as well.
More power and alloy heads should really wake this thing up...as if I need more power!

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Appreciate it Chevy454...now my wife knows why I spend so much time in the garage.If I'm not driving it...I'm staring at it.

Stay tuned for my next two Camaro's...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
