My Big Block '84 Z28

My 1984 Camaro Z28 with a 454 BB w/ Edelbrock Alum Performer RPM heads, Weiand Stealth Intake, Holley DP 800 cfm carb, TCI Street Fighter TH350 Transmission, 10" 3500-3800 converter, Currie 9" w/ Detroit Locker and 3:89 gears, 6-Point roll bar w/ swing-out bars, weld in frame connectors, Spohn Torque Arm, Hooker Super Comp full length headers, dual 3" exhaust w/ Flowmaster 40 mufflers, Weld Pro-Star wheels and BFG Drag Radials in the rear.

I can't wait to go to the track. My old combo w/ 355 and B&M supercharger went 11:51 @ 118. The car now feels a lot faster!!! It feels like it should be 11 ohs, but I know it won't be slower than 11:50's

LOVE IT!!!I miss my bigblock 3rd Gen so much,and yours is better built than mine was.The guy I sold the car to managed high tens on a similar combo,so I'd bet your looking at a 10.80 or so.

Re: My Big Block '84 Z28

Looks really good! What internals are you running?

How is your exhaust run? I just got my 454 running and driving but I'm open header right now. I've been having troubles trying to route the wye for a stock exhaust routing.

Re: My Big Block '84 Z28

Very nice! I got my stockish 454 w/ good heads to run mid 10`s. What tire size u running, 3.89s are great for the street but they`ll kill the ET without a ton of power or smallish tires
