A carbureted Z28 would have that? Or, would it not be a Z28 without the EFI?
With, or without that plastic piece, but a carbureted version did not come with that. Could help direct air, but did not come on carbureted cars. I worked on those when they were new.

Anyone have an idea what NHRA's thinking is on this one? Looks like the same engine, but I have to be missing something obvious. They changed it back a day later for some reason.

An 85 Camaro in any body style shouldn't have been able to run "f".

Re: All 305 Engines Horsepower
 

Because a 1983 Camaro has a different front fascia than the 85/86 Camaro. It is a different car. It's a different engine as it uses a 432 intake manifold...in addition to being allowed the 055 and 053.

Ok. Thanks. They'll have to change the 1984 180hp back to 263 as well.

Re: All 305 Engines Horsepower
 

Thanks for the further explanation. I learned something today. I didn't realize they got that technical. Thanks again.

Keith, remember in Orlando Bruce gave you a hard time about not having a Berlinetta
sticker on the side of the car? I worked for Gm in the 80's no cars other than z28 and iroc had Tpi. and nhra allows it. I put a factory z28 air cleaner and hoses on my car once, it slowed it down. If any of you really think that plastic picked that car up, I have spinner hub caps to sell ya.. and once last thing. Ron and others work hard to go fast. I have been and Index runner in may life. I have worked on my car for the last 27 years. and I may live long enough to go that fast, I hope. thanks

I agree. Am I missing something?

Not many people know about that story. It actually said Camaro 2.8 on the back bumper and he would not let me call it a Berlinetta unless I showed him something on the car that said Berlinetta. I couldn't find anything and got stuck running k/sa against Brandon Wood and Jim Parker. When I pulled into the lanes with 80 pounds of ice on my intake Jim Parker started calling me the "Ice Man". Then Woods found out what ice did to my car. When I got home and changed the front plate it said Berlinetta/ Camaro under it. Bruce always liked top tell me I was in the wrong class. Someone had to.
