Talking MY 396ci LT1 TH400 build inside!

I've been all over the place with work and school, but I want to start to keep track of my winter build:

1994 Z28 convertible, T56 6-speed :dance:

This was my first car, I've had it for over 8 years now. It had 117k on it when I bought it, and it's at 160k now. I've been drag racing since I was 8 years old, and I've decided over the past year that this is the type of racing that I want to focus on in the future. I hope to see mid 10s at 130 MPH once we get it dialed in, powershifting 2nd gear in the air!

So here's where we are now:

Last year I did:
-Wolfe 6-point roll cage welded in
-Corbeau LG1 seats
-Impact 6-point harnesses
-Converted the interior from tan to black with new carpet
-New convertible top


Parts ordered/here to be installed at X-mas:
-Quick Performance 9" rear, 35 spline Moser axles with 4.56 gears and a spool
-UMI Chrome Moly Adj. Torque Arm
-UMI Double Adj. Rod-ended Panhard Bar
-UMI Double Adj. Rod-ended Lower Control Arms and relocation brackets
-UMI convertible subframe connectors
-Solid Wolfe drag race swaybar welded on
-Denny's Nitrous Ready 1000HP 3.5" Driveshaft


Now for everyone's favorite part, the engine:
-Gil Davis built 396ci LT1 stroker, roughly 12.5:1 compression
-Forged crank
-Forged H-beam rods
-Forged Diamond pistons
-Custom Advanced Induction top end

Couple of teaser pics:
