2800 Precision Industries Vigilante Stall (rebuilt a <500mi)
B&M Transmission Cooler
Rear end:
Stock 10bolt with 3.73 Richmond gear
Stock Drive Shaft
Stock Torque Arm
Suspension:
Stock except 2001 Camaro SS Eibach Springs
Turbo Kit:
RealQuick cast manifold kit
Brand new TC-78 Turbo
Auxilary electrice oil scavenge pump
FMIC with 3" plumbing
TurboSmart Raceport BOV
Knock-off HKS Wastegate
Manuel Turbonetics Boost Controller (not installed)
Interior Gauges:

Wheels:

MISC:
NO Air Conditioner installed, but I will include it with the car.
ABS Delete
No Emissions
Black Rear panel clearcoated (Berger Style...except shiney)
Open Downpipe currently, but I have alot of 3" pipe for building an exhaust system
Many stock parts available if needed
This car runs and drives. I've driven it to work (90 mi. round trip) a few times since I got it back together this year. The transmission seems to shift nice, but I have a yet to be determined issue with 4th gear not engaging. I can have that sorted out and repaired before sale, if desired.
It runs smooth, sounds good and feels strong on 4-5psi wastegate spring. I did not get it together in time to take it to the track nor have I put it on a dyno. It still needs the stock fuel pump replaced. My plan was to work all the little bugs out of it before buying fuel pumps. Due to the demands of my current job and an unfavorable financial situation, I'm ready to part ways with this project and continue working on one of my others.
I've been on these performance forums long enough to know certain people are going to say "part it out, you'll get more money." Well, this thing is so close to being ready for the track, there is no sense in tearing it apart. I built it with the intentions of having a very streetable, 600rwhp fbody. It is still very streetable with this cam and with a enough fuel pump, it should make 600rwhp easily with the big Turbonetics TC-78 on it.
I wish I could keep it, but this will make someone a very good, fast car. My only complaint with the body is the front bumper. It has 114,000 mi worth of paint chips and bug damage. Everything else is glossy and straight.
I'm probably forgetting some mods, but this is the majority of everything.
I'll post up pics through the night. Price...I don't know where to start...I have over $14000 in receipts of parts that have only been test driven....$11,500 OBO.
I'm looking for a quick sale, so no reasonable offer will be turned down.
