    I found this a while back but never finished reading it all until tonight. covers the progress of a 3800 camaro from air filter change to porting heads and basic tuning with hpt at the end. lots of data and part numbers in there too. also sounds like they went to war with some people on some forums over choices for parts that most didnt agree with at the time. Enjoy

    sorry wrong link at first... this build project goes thru a lot of parts we use and has dyno results and tool part numbers. could be a nice reference for some.

    just don't see the point of a 3800 in a 'maro less'n it's got a GenV strapped on top and a proper gearbox.

    I would take the dyno results for a grain of salt, they only made 267 wheel when it was done on 100 octane.

    That being said, there are quite a few good build pics and some good general info. I'd say its worth the read.
