Default 598 T/a

Been looking on here over the years checking out rides. A friend (Intimidator3) put his pro-touring 69 Camaro build on here. Which has had me thinking about changing mine up the more I look at other members.

Mine has a Scott Shafiroff 598 Big Dawg pump gas crate engine which made 851HP/792TQ (on motor). Raced it for a number of years but got a little bored racing and chasing lower et's. Ripped out the entire interior and put two layers of Dynomat to help with the noise and temps. Thinking about mini-tubbing, diff suspension, wheels and going with a more Pro-Touring look.


Few pics from the garage.



Older video but I like the way it sounds idling.

How could you not like the way that sounds? Since you have been around lurking you already know there are some awesome T/A on the site. Plenty of ideas on how to spend your money.

Nice, and that's a lot of power, but of course you can never go wrong with wanting more. Any ideas on suspension and wheels you're going with? And welcome to the forums.
