Project Kryptonite (Rupp Take Note)

[Finch]

This is going to be a cool build and guys like Brian keep me on my toes.

Thanks Steve, Everyone needs a goal to strive for to help push them to bigger and better things. You and Penny have been in my top 3 for some time now so please keep the heat on.

At the end of the day, it's the driver then the car. Tweaking is a huge part of it and that means tweaking to the drivers liking. DSE just makes it that much easier.

Fixing the driver is on the top of my list this year.

Hey Brian the build looks awesome and I'm sure that's going to be one hell of a happy customer in the end....

Now as far as Penny goes, that's a really well sorted car,,, Steve however brings up a good point DSE builds some really awesome product....Combine this with my crazy buddy Brian's fabrication capabilities, driving style and track record and I'd guess that Steve your in for a real challenge this year buddy. This is one match I'll be watching personally and can't wait to see the out come.

Great, now I have to tell the customer he needs more power.

He did just build a nasty 408 LS motor with Dart heads and a huge Whipple charger. Maybe we swap that in and get this over.

I'm liking this project more by the minute Brian ;-)

lol.. yea, we're just like Russia and the US back in the 50s..

By the end of tomorrow Penny will be almost a shell.. then we start the rebuild. Gotta keep the old girl fresh. Like I always say, done is no fun.

Can't wait to see this ride get done, and you know I've already called dibs on shooting it for the magazine.

This is great nothing like a little trash talking to help fuel the build and Looks like there's another Camaro I'm going to love

Friendly trash talking.. I guess that's the difference with the guys here and some you see. We all compete, but we're in this more for the friendships.

^5 100% X2 Steve

I know you guys are just having fun Steve,I'm just getting a kick out of it reading the post and thought I'd let you guys know it was intertaining my simple mind

[Smock67]

Man am I envious of how quickly you progressed in just 3 weeks, hell i've had mine for 3 years and i havent driven it since the first day i got it. Keep those pics coming.

[ProdigyCustoms]

I just found out about this project last night in the chat room, totally missed it.

Congratualtions man. I could not be more happy for you. Looks awesome and I am sure you will make the deadline and perfrorm well, your a great driver.

All I can say is both you and Penny need to watch out at RTTHs! We will have a new toy there. Were not looking for the crown...............were looking to change the way it's done!

Thats all I can say unitl late February!

Hows that for talking ****, LOL!

Nice to have you aboard the trash train Frank... I too am holding some back as this Camaro is just one piece to the Finch domination this year

Wet with a remote oil cooler to keep it simple

Hey Brian,

Congrats on the project! You've got a great start there...

BTW, I just read an article in the March issue of Hot Rod magazine and was surprised there was NO horsepower loss when going from a Dry Sump to Wet Sump on a LS7... The old adage of less windage and rotating mass through the oil making more power doesn't seem to be the case with this motor... In the article there was even a slight HP gain...

It could be different in a racing car instead of on an Engine Dyno but maybe not...

On my project I'm going to attempt to use a wet sump pan with an external cooler and Oil Accumulator setup to ward against the starvation possibility...

Keep up the GREAT work!
