3.4 camaro goes 12.701@106

My first pass of the night was a 13.028@104.23. I was a little slow off the line 1.979 60ft (first time out since last year),then after waiting for hours due to clean ups I finally was able to make my second pass at 10:58 pm. I nailed a 1.856 60ft. with a 12.710@106.14. I'll be posting vids and timeslips soon.

Haha, that was you? I remember seeing that car over @ e-town. I initially thought that I was going to see a swapped 3.4 into a purple third gen, but either way, just like the video guy embellished at the end of the video; "yes, yessss". Nice runs. Should be headed back there tonight, will be looking out for you. By the way, what are your mods...?

It's definitely the 1/4 mile. If he trapped 106-mph in the 1/8th he'd be in single digit land.

Re: 3.4 camaro goes 12.701@106

Nice! You should head over there later tonight, take advantage of the cold air. It's prolly going to be mobbed though, but with any luck, nobody will oil down the track and you'll get your full three passes. I'll be looking out for ya either way....

Would like to see those pics. I did my own porting and polishing job not too long ago. I'm running a 60 trim t4. Cam is a Delta custom grind.

Re: 3.4 camaro goes 12.701@106

ok and dont have any really good pictures but this should be enough to get u on the right track,when i port another set of heads ill get better pictures


first up stock for comparison( intake port on the left the bowl has a lil work to it already in this pic)
Name:  stock1.jpg
Views: 55

now this pic shows the amount of material being removed from the valve guide and bowl areas, not real good pics for the ex side though( real ruff cutting to start)
Name:  100_1303.jpg

guides should look like this once cleaned up and smoothed (this isnt a finished picture but close)
Name:  100_1308.jpg

use a long tapered carbide for the ruff cutting, and a small taper carbide, and the ball carbide for finishing up the bowls/guide area. then after go with a 60/80 grit taper/stright paper roll to finish the surface

the port entrances u can take alot of the vanes on the floor but i need to get good pics of those.

i belive i have better pics and finished pics all around ill have to look for them

Thanks for the pics. That's just about what mine look like except you took off a little more on the intake side. I like to leave a little more metal around the valve guides.

yeah i took off a lot of material, but there is stil plenty around the guide, and it works well, what u cant se ein thos epics is how much i taperd the whole guide down were it goes back into the port runner.
the ex sides are cut back around the guides the same way i just cant find the pics of it right now
