Thanks! If you want to learn I'd start with small jobs and then move to bigger ones like this someday lol

The motor is a bone stock N/A motor from the Camaro. I did replace the lifters because the old ones were ticking though and it does have 80# fuel injectors in it too. I have yet to put the car onto a dyno yet but I'm thinking at 10 psi and 19* of timing that I'm currently running and with the 9.5:1 compression ratio of the L36 it should be somewhere between 300 - 400 horsepower. It definitely feels like it could have that much power too.
