Re: Ohio?
I thought I would give my 3rd Gen NEO region an update on our new project. My uncle gave my son a 5.7L 350 Vortec engine. My uncle said it has a click in it somewhere, but not problem, since we are tearing it down and rebuilding. We plan on picking it up in April. This should keep us busy for a few yrs. Meanwhile, he can still drive the 305. After we put a new torque converter in this spring. I found out, that is what is making her stall.

Re: Ohio?
Whats up guys and gals! new to this thread but I have been on Third Gen for a while now. I wanted to bring to your attention a car club that I am a part of. its called the Southwest Ohio Camaro Club or SWOCC for short. We are a fairly new club on the scene but we are quite active. Please check us out on Facebook and when you ask to join please mention my name Ryan Barnes (no I don't get any kickbacks of any kind) the club is free so check us out. Obviously this for the Camaro guys on this page but I would still like to try and meet as many of you as possible. I'm from West Chester a suburb of Cincinnati but I frequent a couple of different haunts. You can usually find me at the Sharonville Cruise-In during the Week. Milford Cruise-In on Friday Nights and either Edgewater Raceway or Kil-Kare on the weekends. See you this summer!

Re: Ohio?
Damn sounds like your car runs really good. I'm heading to Quaker tonight to see how I do. Hoping for 11.0's or somewhere real close. Went 11.35 with the old intake and throttle body. The car definitely feels faster now with the fast 102/102 setup.

Re: Ohio?
It's been along time since I've posed in the Ohio thread. Much has changed. I finally swapped to a v8. A 385 sbc to be exact. For those who done know I have been racing a turbo v6 thirdgen for many many years. Best of 11.23@123mph. It was a fun set up and took years of redefining to dial her in. And the whole time it was always a street car.
But after my attempts at 10 second passes I litterly broke the crank and wiped out the forged engine in the process.
So this spring I jumped on a friend's 385 he was selling.
Since then it has been the most consistent drag car I've ever driven.
It's a solid 11.60 car and in my class the cut off is 11.50 so it's perfect right now. I have parts to make it a 10.90 car this fall winter along with a new strange s60 on its way. Still a street car but it's 90 percent on the track now. I trailor it there as well sometimes with my truck or rv if I want a.c.
best pass 11.62@114.8mph best 60 is a 1.57.
engine itself is quite mild. 385 11.1:1 comp.
comp cam xe268 cam... very very small cam
performer rpm intake
eagle rotating assembly
dart 200cc heads 64cc chamber.
Holley 750 dp carb with pro form body
comp ultra gold 1.6 rockers.
93 pump gas
shift at 5300 trap at 5400
th350 trans with a brake(dont use it though)
cheepo freakshow 3500 stall
10 bolt currently with some crappy 3.23 gears
Every thing out back is tubular and adjustable, Anti roll bar, tq arms exc. Lake wood all arround for suspension.
I have a xe284 cam and a 4800 ptc 8 inch at all waiting to be tossed in along with a the strange s60 which is on its way. 4.10 gears. Those should toss me into the low 11s high 10s. And if not I do currently have a full n20 system hooked up and ready to spray when I wana try it.
A few pics below of the beast so far this year.

Re: Ohio?
I'm finally going to toss these puppies on this weekend or Monday. Lots of goodies I wana put on this winter but figured I can do a head swap in 2 or 3 hrs so might as well see how much better these competition ported heads that flow over 300cfm work at the track!!
I'm going to leave the performer rpm intake on till winter. The victor jr. Will be overkill with my current cam gears exc

Still around too with a 1984 stock L69 Trans Am and 1987 Black GTA.
So none of you have my old 1987 Black GTA, 1G2FW2189HN236559? I saw a new title for it was issued in 8/2014 in Cuyahoga County.
