Project complete
I bought my current 94 Camaro in Oct of 2003 prety much as a basket case with an awsome running LT1/T56. Over the the last few years it has gone through several major changes the latest of which started in April of this year when I pulled the engine and removed the front clip to do an LS1 swap and update the front end. Here are just afew pics of the car showing what I started with and what I have now.
What I looked like when I bought it.
What it looked like for the last few years
What it looks like now.

The interior when I bought it
The interior now
As you can see the car has come a ways. When I started the LS1 swap I was unsure if it was the right thing to do because the LT1 I had was stupid fast at a 12.98 with only Mids, and cat back, and a CAI. Well.....With only Mids, a Stealth II cam, A lid, and the same Cat back the LS1 is WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY faster. It will pull cleanly in 5th from only 1000RPM. It's insane.
More pics of the car in all stages of work can be seen at the link in my sig.

I guy I originally bought the car from didn't beleive it either.
It only been done a few days, in fact I still have to get an alignment, get the A/C charged, and do some data logging so I can touch up the tune some.
Knowing what the LT1 ran and comparing it to this I'm guessing around 360-370 RWHP at least and low 12s in the quarter. The car is stupid fast. I miss the low end of the LT1, but I'll get over it.
Mash the go pedal at 3k in third and your looking at 100+ in no time at all. I think I can get used to this.
Next step is a set of LE1 heads (Loyd does LS1 heads too) and a fast intake this winter. That should take me just north of 400RWHP.

Although the start to finish pictures are crazy. It was done in stages. When intiially purchased I fixed the body, painted it, threw in a cheap interior, and found some SS rims and hood. Two years later I purchased a wrecked 97 Z28 and swaped in the entire interior and dash. And finially this April I tore it down agian to install the LS1 and swap the front clip.
