Well my car shipped out today!!!
I just talked to Hinson and they're waiting for the LSX race block and heads. He said they're going to weigh the LSX and the VQ and really make sure that everything is on point. These guys seem like a first class operation. I just accepted a Vortech sponsorship offer, but if my motor pops this is probably the way I'm going too.

"With a potent, 641-horsepower, a new LSX-based 454-cubic-inch small-block V-8 and the classic looks of the 1969 Camaro, legendary baseball player and ardent car collector Reggie Jackson has a muscle car as strong as his World Series batting record. Jackson partnered with GM Performance Parts (GMPP) and the GM Performance Division (GMPD) to build a one-of-a-kind modern muscle machine that serves as a developmental showcase for GM’s new LSX family of performance engine components.
The powerful LSX 454 small-block engine is backed by a heavy-duty six-speed manual transmission and a sturdy 12-bolt rear axle with 3.91 gears.
At Warren Johnson’s dynamometer facility, the LSX engine produced 641 horsepower and 611 lb.-ft. of torque. More than the peak numbers, however, is the engine’s Kansas-flat power band. The engine makes 520 lb.-ft. of torque at only 3,000 rpm, with torque rising steadily throughout the rev range.
The LSX engine in the Camaro is backed by a beefed-up Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with a heavy-duty clutch to stand up to the engine’s considerable torque, channeling it via a custom aluminum driveshaft to a Detroit Speed & Engineering-built GM 12-bolt rear axle. The axle is fitted with an Eaton Detroit Locker Truetrac locking differential and 3.91 gears, which turn strengthened axles that are connected to 18-inch custom-design Budnik rear wheels and Goodyear high-performance rubber."
I think i will have a constant erection!!!!

I'm curious as to how you're going to get all of that power down to the pavement without properly warmed up slicks. Large ones at that. My Z with a measley 560 lb/ft rwtq was useless in 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd, running 295 Michelin's and stock camber, stock ride height. Not trying to be a smartass, just wondering.
