thanks man! i just took the camaro for a short 2 mile trip down the road and back. just driving under the speed limit feels good lol. car sounds awesome and i can tell the power is there i just cant do anything stupid till after the tune and clutch break in period. im going to have to get use to this thing all over again. i have not drove my car in around 2 months. and after that short little ride all i can say is damn it feels good to drive a real f body again not no little 3.4l lol

i no longer am running EGR or the AIR so i have to have them deleted from the computer and if by ac you mean air conditioning yes i am running that lol. why have a nice ass car if you cant stay cool inside.

Because any day good enough to run the AIR I tend to have the T-tops off.
plus it freed up a nice bit of room for working under the hood.
Can't wait to see your car in person.
