It's a small 67 trim sts. It made 525/525 to the wheels but I'm looking to build a front mount for it this summer. I've had it long enough to where I think it's ready to get serious. Probably go fmic and all.
I REALLY like those STS systems for some serious street cars, but if your are headed for a front mount you'll be night and day :icon_cool: I'm sure you have your people but if you ever need anything let me know, I love building these cars. Helping a buddy that has a fab shop build a '69 camaro with a LS3 from a '10 SS Road racer :rock:

My 500+ HP Duramax, and my Dad's new '64 Nova he just finished. First track day is tomorrow with it.

The second pic is my Dad's friend Al. He was battling cancer, and he wanted to be the one who got to sit in the car and crank the motor over while my Dad adjusted the carb when they first started it. He lost his battle with cancer yesterday, just 2 days short of seeing it make its first pass. :nono:

I'm pretty much a one man army! I do all my own builds but usually spend a fair amount of time in research. Once I finish rebuilding my trx, I'll begin working on the front mount. I am currently running a little 5.3 with a stud kit, ls6 heads, patriot extreme's, comp Trutorq and the ls6 intake @ 6psi. I built that to get me by after breaking #5 ring land on the mahle pistons in the 5.7 (that was at 9psi). I will need a good tuner!

What is your car tuned with now? HPTuners, EFI Live, etc......? I'll post up a vid of the camaro on it's start up tune that I had a guy email me (I had EFI Live so files could be shared via email. He did an awesome job given we just talked over the phone one time I told him the entire build and he sent me the file ready to load. I like the 5.3's for boosted applications cause you have a lot more meat in those blocks to take abuse!!

I was tuned with EFI live. I think the tune is too agressive though. That's a pretty sweet set up you have there! At first I was wondering how you got that intake to fit but I see the cowl and everything moved to make the room. I used mail order tunes in the past and they were never close enough for comfort. After having it dyno tuned and seeing how out of wack it was on the mailorder tune, I saw it was just a waste of money for me and a lot of money at that! I just don't have the time to get into the tuning although I looked at making a purchase with HP tuners. Someday...

I've seen the mail order fail a lot. The guy I used tunes all the cars at nitrous outlet in TX and lot of other TX cars. He actually has it set up to switch from NA to nitrous tune with the flip of a toggle. Most people don't realize our PCMs hold two VE tables :rock: I always planned on figuring out the tune thing on my own but when you get into the high dollar setups it makes you question whether or not you really want to use it to learn on! :gr_jest:

View attachment 238My sleeper truck. 05 DuraMax Crew Cab Dually. LLY motor with K&N intake, 4inch Turbo back exhaust and SuperChips FlashPaq set to performance unless I'm towing. Pushing over 500HP. The thing blows away most anything that wants to race, but I DO know my limitations...People can't believe an 8500lb truck can haul *** until all they can do is drive through the black cloud in front of em..lol I love it.IMG_0483.jpg
