I had one of these built and put it in a 95 camaro I use to have. If your spending all the money to build the motor I would definately get a bigger cam. Also something that I will tell you is to get the GM optispark. I bought one from accell and it didn't last. For the injectors get the 30# FORD SVO injectors (yes I said ford). A lot of people have had problems with the Accell injectors and the SVO one's work great. Also take the car in to a good tuner in your area. A mail order tune will get it close enough to drive around but if you want to get everything out of it you need to take it to someone. If you have any problems go to http://www.camaroz28.com/ and look through the forums there. This is a common build and a lot of the issues are addressed there. Also another thing you need to think about is what your going to do about your altenator. The original one set on top of the valve cover which had a dent in it. With the bigger rockers you won't be able to use the stock valve covers and you'll either have to get a custom bracket to raise the altenator higher (which looks ugly), move it to the other side of the motor with a special bracket (which squeeks under high torque) or custom fab a set of valve covers.
