Re: Slow 82 camaro
What gears are in it now? Stock 2.93s or 3.23s? What jets are in the carb? Where is your timing at? How fast does it come in? When is it all in? Are you still running the stock LG4/LU5 exhaust? There is an honest second to be dropped by ditching the stock LG4/LU5 exhaust and going to headers/y-pipe and a full single 3”. Gonna need more info

Re: Slow 82 camaro
The exauast is a huge chokepoint, you need to ditch the factory cast iron manifold and tiny single pipe factory setup and get a good set of headders and a good exauast kit (or custom)
