CTS-V Powered '68 Camaro Drop Top - BIG MUSCLE

Wouldn't have went with the LSA, but not too shabby.

What would you have gone with?

Honestly? LS7. You take a drop in power, but I've seen some large power gains with a solid cam. Apparently the LS7's cam is small for its displacement.

The LSA does not have forged internals like the LS7 or LS9 do, nor does it have dry-sump oiling, but that's another issue. The internal parts is what I would be worried about after upping the boost. Sure, he isn't going to be drag racing it every weekend, or even putting it through anything more than a few high speed passes up and down the PCH, but I personally would have went LS7.

he does auto x it

to much carbon fiber for me, i woulda left stock looking exterior. normally i like role bars in verts but this one looks idk "whimpy" im digging the seats though. makes me wonder what he was thinking when he decided to put 275 wide rear tires:facepalm:
