Ya know M.J., I figured out a long time ago that there are Racers who just don't care how much they spend as long as they're the quickest. There are also Racers out there who know that their time is almost up and don't care how fast they go. Now, take a Racer who falls into both of those categories and you'll know why I decided to race odd combos and junk.

To be honest the AHFS helped my old car.

[Adger Smith]

AHFS is Sure tough on one car or low count classes.

Will a hit to the '83 305 Camaro hurt my '80 Malibu 305 combo? Or is it considered a different platform?

[Billy Nees]

Ya know M.J., not to go stirring any pots or anything but the '83 Camaro 305 HO (flat piston, big cam) that is the subject of this thread isn't an automatic only combo, it's a STICK only combo. 305/165 (F.I. combo) is auto only. Any hard-core Camaro guy would know that. But I won't tell! ;-)

Ya know, I heard that before. And 283 stockers never came with a 327 intake manifold, AND 283 Chevy ll s never came with a DEEP oil pan, and 67-68 Camaro SBC stockers never came with 3 speed trans, AND MJ has never seen a 70 nova on the street with a 350 LT-1 engine, (although some one ,some where may have,) and James Perrone has a strong dislike for 83 Camaro front bumper covers….

Funny, I ran this combo about 20 years ago in a IHRA Pure Stocker with an automatic.

No the Camaro wont.

A 2 door Malibu could though being theyre both of the same platform.

Cool, thanks. My car is of the 4 door wagon variety.
