7 Years ago I snapped this pic of my son Matt, "helping me" with a 67 L30/M20 Camaro. We had just gotten back from TN where he had to have those matching Oreo jackets.

And now today, where I helped him fit his new carbon creations hood on his very own Camaro, the Tin SOldier IV which from the build threads you can see now has a Fabberge' twin turbo setup, boost controller and tune. Dyno's conservatively at 440 RWHP and once we fine tune that, should get ~450 RWHP, all bolt on. Once we harden the rods and internals, add bigger breaks we should be able to boost up to 15-17lbs and break 500 RWHP, all on a LFX 6 banger! Wearing my old Oreo jacket.

It's the best, most teens today couldn't care less about cars,let alone know how to change the oil.

Very cool! I can only hope that my 1-yr old gets into cars like his dad.
