Just got a 83 Camaro Z28 from my uncle!

And i was wondering if i can get some ideas to make this beauty run like a beast?


Please and thank you Guys .

 

Starting out with: "Yo Guys" makes you seem about 16 years old. Not a good start.
Then you declare you want it to tun like a beast, without telling us what you expect, or your budget, or anything about the car's current equipment and performance / failings. You also don't specify if you want to learn the wrenching, or if you just want to write big checks.
Even if you have the budget to turn it into a 1000 HP race car, noone wants to help a 16-year-old get there. We want to see you master 200 HP without wrecking the car, then move toward 300 HP.

 

i just want some ideas okay thats all ha

 

ideas to do what?

Seriously. Start over. Describe the car and what you actually want to do with it.

 

OK. I'll help where noone else wants to.

You will have a beast that wont break. Write the checks and "make it rain....dawg" ????

 

....dro... thats not "dro" as in hyDROponic is it now... im sure if it is some admen will ban you or something like that

Seriously how the heck can anybody give you advice when you dont give them anything to work with. My only advice, youve got a 305 if its stock. Ditch it. Then make it pretty so all the 15 year olds at your school will wanna hop in...

 

Haha look you fools all i want is some ideas why cant you fellas understand that... The Justin guy gave me an idea now how hard is that but you girls are right i should of typed suggestions instead of ideas so im sorry for that ....its also pretty funny you guys assume I'm a 16 year old just because I wrote " yo guys" like come now grow up fellas

 

"The Justin guy" has a name. I'll give you one guess....think long and hard!

 

Ok what kind of performance do you want what kind of budge do you have street car build auto cross build or drag race build? Need info on what you really want your car to do couse there is a build up that you could follow for just about anything

 

I'll just call you the Justin guy okay ? Thanks Justin guy .


Any more suggestions Justin guy?

 

The attitude isn't really helping your rep, nor is the pokemon avatar...just saying.

 

Yeah im not here for any type of rep Kid.........just saying.

 

Lmfao !! HAHAHAHA :P Owned !

 

'83 Z28 from uncle huh, well I'll give it a shot and a bunch of assumptions and leave you to pick and choose what you want.


1. you can try to beef up the 305 or you can get a 350 engine for more pwr, Personally I'd keep it stock.
2. If its automatic I'd add a shift kit for better shifts, if its manual then happy clutching.
3. If its carbureted or fuel injection you can get a newer edelbrock carb or bigger fuel injectors.
4. Get a Flowmaster Exhaust.

 

Dude, it doesn't make sense to talk down to the people who you are asking for help..............just saying.


If you want advice, you'd get a lot better results by posting:

Details of engine currently in car (V6/V8, carb/FI)
Transmission
Rear Axle

Then, give an idea of what you want to do with the car.

 

So, is the car stock? What engine, trans etc?
What are your goals?
What do you want it to do?

 

I think we overestimated the age.

 

Here's some information regarding your car.= https://www.thirdgen.org/1983-chevy-camaro Scroll down to the drivetrain list and decide which Z-28 you have and then let us know.
Add what type of trans you have because one of the choices list both.
There's only "3" Z-28s to choose from so this should not be difficult.
Once we have that info. it gives us something to build on.

 

Dro1777,
It would behove you to respond to the info./questions posted above.

 

I think he may be done with this thread...just saying

 

Really guys..

 

when Keeping it real goes wrong

 

hahahaah You fools!!!! Fine guys here it is i got a lu5 Engine car is automatic so please just help gimmie some ideas to beef up this car i want more hp !!! haha i know i should of said this in the first place but the first dude who comment pissed me off so im sorry.

Please and thank you guys !

 

and all i got is the engine everthing else is gone its pretty much the car is a shell

 

How much cash do you have?

Sounds like you got a money pit there.

 

I vaguely remember some one saying that the crossfire injection system was problematic and that explains why they only made it for a short time. If you could get some photos of the car including the engine that would be best. Depending on the cars condition you may be looking at a parts car.Personally I would not own a CFI car because there so far off from the standard design/intake.I prefer the traditional
design if for no other reason than looks.
