Thanks guys, and nice camaro ttboost, you know I love the stock look

I had this car out a few times allready and loving every minute of it. I had it on the rack to replace the front brake shoes and noticed all of the 40yr old front suspension bushings were blown out so I disassembled everything for a front end rebuild.

Oh, it went 11.08 @ 126 in the fall as well.

Volvo wagon - sleeper

Sorry for the hijack....

Olney car show today - you heard it before it pulled into the parking lot. You looked around to see what was making the serious rumble, stll can't see anything except for a Volvo station wagon pulling in.... wait, what?

Didn't get the specs other than to hear it was a stroked Chevy SB over 400ci.

Sick... very sick.

I'm beginning to seriously love the painted steel wheels with dog dish hupcaps. Essential for the sleeper look--well done

Thanks guys. Boost controller is a Turbosmart e-boost "street". Worked out nice because the little turbos wanted to taper off boost level at high rpm which I was able to flatten out using the controllers boost correction feature.
