3.55? Rob and Pete would tell you that you need at least a 4.56, but more like a 4.88 to get the most out of that combo.
Nice car BTW.

Hey ALbert - you gonna leave your new Camaro the same color as your COPO?
Can you say "matched set"? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

I think I will..just kind of happened that way but I like it!!
Bud..no manual trans for this car.
Nick, Appreciate the offer for the prostock motor and lenco but...I dont think I want to go that route..I want more of a driver than a racer..updates to follow.
