Here are some new shots of the engine compartment, with the new Holley HP EFI controlling the LS coils on a conventional small block chevy. Oh yeah the upper intake was made by us, the base is a Holley Stealth Ram

Do you have the 2G Bar installed on this Camaro? If so, could we see some pics? Thanks.

We got the engine fired up. I have to say that even though this engine is very complex with the coil on plug ignition and such, the Holley HP EFI system, really made life easy. We have been using this system and are authorized Holley installers for about a year and a half. The Holley set up is way better than any system we have ever tuned, bar none! If you are running an LS motor or a small block chevy, getting it going is not nearly as difficult as it once was. Self tuning feature is great. bellow is a video of the first run

Waiting to get about 500 miles on motor, but a possible leaking head gasket may slow things up a bit. Likely by end of summer. We still need to sort a lot of things out with the suspension, as it is all new stuff. Preliminary drives have shown the car feels very good!

Funny you ask, seeing we sell the best fitting ones on the market! The care has an 8 point cage, and the front bracing, as well as our 2G bar. Subframe connectors aren't needed

[ks71z28]

We finally got enough miles on our new motor to really torture the rest of the car. The car worked well, but thanks to the adjustability of our shocks, sway bars, and brake bias we were able to get the car to turn lap times close to what we hoped for. All went well, except for an axle seal the completely came out of the end of the axle tube. Never seen that before. It dumped a lot of gear oil on the left rear brake, causing a large amount of smoke and making a mess. All in all it went well. here is a video of a lap around Thunder Hill raceway
