UPDATE! Almost broke 12s tonight
I think if I get my 2->3 shift fixed I should be in the 12s.

Drag radials and a stall made me say "WOAH" the first time I launched it at the track Im going to my tuner this week so he can adjust the 2->3 shift and maybe I'll give 12s a shot next weekend

Yeah, without that hiccup from 2nd to 3rd you would be in the 12s for sure.

BTW, sounds great.

Update time! Got my 6le front bumper fitted today. Its going to get painted this weekend. I'll be headed to the junk yard tomorrow to source some 98-02 camaro fogs and maybe a dash pad if I get lucky. (Dont mind the bumper looking not aligned in the pic, theres nothing fastening it down, I just had it hanging for a pic)

I'm not sure how I feel about the bumper, but I'll reserve final judgment until I see it painted.

I'm sure it will look great onces its all painted and mounted up. Ill have the headlight area done in black again. If I could get an SLP Bowtie grill that would be awesome. But another update: I found an uncracked dash while searching for fog lights, it was pretty weathered but I cleaned it up and painted it and it came out nice.

Well I got it installed today! Here are the only two pics I could get, I'll definitely grab some more when I take it out this weekend. (Yes I know my hood sticks up a little, I swapped to a LS1 SLP lid setup and it rubs a little bit with a stock ls1 lower box, once I get my hands on a t/a ram air one it will fit better) How does it look now spartan? :P
