Thanks guys for the nice comments. It's got a few goodies in her I guess you could say. Here's the short list of it.

Stock bottomed 454 bored .060
SRP Forged Pistons with 18cc bump
Summit/Dart Iron Eagle Heads
Comp Big ***** Thumpa Hyd Roller Cam
Comp full roller rockers
Air Gap Intake
750 Holley v/s
Fully Balanced

Makes very good torque from way down low.

Sweet ride man. I remember the first time I sidestepped my clutch at over 3k and the rear just broke loose like a bat outta hell. Good times!

No I haven't taken it to a strip yet but I'd like to some time this year. I happen to love the cam in this thing despite the naysayers.
Here are the specs:

Yeah it was a real rush. Next one may be captured on video. For educational purposes of course.

Your car looks great, even without a new paintjob! I bet you'll get a lot of positive input at shows, even without new paint. I was amazed how much more attention my Camaro got when it was a black frontend, with gray primer spots all over it. I got lots more positive comments on it than I did when it was all white. My wife and I even discussed this weird scenario after she noticed it happening.

Yeah I know what you mean. When it's blown apart most people can't understand why your bothering. They can't picture what your working toward. Once it's all together but unpainted I think they see the lines more. They picture it as a form and see it for the styling. Once it's painted I don't think they see beyond the finish anymore unless they are true car guys. Just my theory.
