Wicked, just wicked. How does it handle with that big *** diesel sitting up front? I imagine if you have it geared right you get some stupid good fuel mileage and torque!

let's just say it doesn't have an ounce of understeer with all that nose weight. did alot of weight reduction (Hvac, ABS, etc)

hmmm...I haven't bought a hood yet, what kind of cost would I be lookin at for an LS1 front conversion? (i have no problem sourcing good used parts)

6.5L Turbo Diesel is rated from the factory with 215 HP, 440lb-ft. I am making slightly more than that
30 mpg avg. 60/40 highway/city

it is a very cool idea to put diesel in a camaro, but why on earth did you choose the 6.5L? is there a reason you didnt go with a duramax? even a LB7 with 300hp/500tq would be better than the 6.5L
