Horsepower TV
Hey everyone there is a 3rd gen Camero on horsepower tv and thought you all might want to check it out if you are home or near a tv. It is on right now in the east coast (11-11:30) and not sure about other regions as to what time it will be on. It give you some ideas on what to do for the stock 305 that were in your Camero to give it some more HP!

Re: Horsepower TV
Because they put together a cold air intake from some company that goes down through the battery compartment. Good looking car and with a 22mpg and 9hp/17tq gain I say nice, but that +9hp only brought it up to 152hp.

Re: Horsepower TV
Why didn't they just use an OEM Z28 filter "Y" housing, and connect via tubing & a TBI bonnet? Much easier & no battery relocation needed.
Looks better too.

Re: Horsepower TV
btw, when this episode(s) came out, i remember another thread about it where one of the members on here actually claimed it was his car that they bought off him, and said he could buy it back when they were done with it.
i wonder what happened with that
