Re: Possible new Class build - need opinions
Has anyone ever tried one of these? 83 is at 230 HP with big cam, big compression, good head ans 2 1.81 throttle bodies. I've been told that the intake is pretty bad but when you take into consideration the difference in the HP factor between it and a comparable Q-Jet combo I can't imagine the intake being THAT bad. 82 is at 220 HP with dished piston.

Re: Possible new Class build - need opinions
Hey, at least they know how to spell CAMARO! I am a Ford guy, and even I get bothered when a see CAMEROs for sale, or even worse, at a car show where it seems even the owners don`t know how to spell what the model of their car is! (Hint, it`s already spelled correctly on the cars body, take notes.) These same guys usually have an ELdobrock intake, or maybe a WALand, often with a NAWS plate under the carby.

I don't see that being a problem.

The other question is is the carb a better combo than TBI? I realize Id have to find the correct year engine, but those cars we basically the same body style for years so I can claim any year if I have the correct engine.. I like the challenge, thats why I like stock eliminator. I wonder what comparable cars in that class are running and with what combo... |

Grand Prix with a 400. 302 Fords and these cars range from 7 tenths to 1 second under P/SA i see a 95-96 Chevy Caprice, 283 Chevy Wagon, 3.8 V6 can run PSA as well. What would your car weigh as a O/SA ?? I know the 3.8 is rated at 206 multiply by 15 (OSA wt break)plus 170(drivers wt)= 3260.
