    Well, aren't the pictures supposed to resize? It appears they did not.

    EDIT: There, I inserted them a different way, so it actually auto-resized them this time.

    using raj's calc and 15% mine makes eactly what evi's dyno said
    I did a quick search on tech and 10% and 15% were rough estimates. I did find that Brian Tooley lost 15% through a locked 4l60E on his 454ci motor making 600rwhp so I feel that number isn't too far off.

    In case anyone is interested, or just plain bored beyond their senses, I added a couple more "Before" shots on Page Two from the first exploratory visit my buddy Bret made to scout out the car. It shows off the cracked passenger door, the quarter panel damage, and the rough condition of the rear bumper cover. It really helps you appreciate just how far the Red Beast has come since it was rescued from the Bay of Pigs! Thanks to Motor City Auto Spa, Brian & MasterWorks, and Joel for their help in bringing it back from the brink!

    Oh yah, gotta have the brick. Hard to believe but first night that we brought it home, we got it started. Drove it for a couple of years before I finally had to rebuild the engine(2 cracked pistons and lobes wore on camshaft). Still have more work to do, but don't we all.

    I'll pass along the info someone on tech shared with me. The rear RED side marker light lenses on a 4th gen Camaro fit the front AMBER side markers on a 4th gen TA. It's super easy to swap and improves the look a ton as it would match your color scheme well too. Go back and look at my pics if you want to see.
    That's great info, never knew that!


    And Steve G - holy crap man, that's quite the transformation! I never realized it was in that condition when you started. Great job, Steve!

    Nice! We finished my sisters 67 Firebird Convertible (400, M21, 12 bolt) about two years ago now. Verdoro Green with Ivory interior, Cragars too.
