One of my best friends had a 76 Camaro LT with a 350. It has 3.90 gears, traction bars, headers, flowmaster exhaust, brand new BIG cam, headwork, and it was just rebuilt and bored .03 over (355). He ran a 16.2 last November with valve float and half the battery connected and without the cam, heads, and rebuild. I know i will lose, badly. My car is all top end, his is all low end. I was just wondering if there was a chance for me to take him in a long race. He only has a three-speed auto so he should top out pretty quickly, at least before me. I don't really know why i care so much, there really is no where i can think of where i can race him up to like 120mph. I'll probably be too far behind from the beginning to even catch up. Thanks anyway if you care.

yeah, hell probably kill you if your only in the 16s. this guy i know has a 73' Camaro with a rebuilt 355 equipped with headers, a demon carb, 4.10 posi rear, drag radials, and a new TH400 trans. he ran a best time of 13.8. the guy you race will be somewhere around that i imagine

 

dont worry matt, ian will max out around 115-120 so you'll get him after that. in the quarter, forget it ...you're gone....

 

Race someone you have a chance against... I want to take my birdy out saturday, i don't know if your doing anything...

If I give you a head start (I'm not trying to sound cocky or anything) It might actually be a good race.that way you will already be in your "sweet spot" and so will I. Curt is wrong, I could mabey go faster than 120. whatever, curt will probably get mad at me for posting here because I dont drive a third gen. See ya around.

 

Yeah ok Ian. I'll go on green and you go on the yellow after that. You'll still win dude. As for Curt, ehh, who cares. It's his opinion. We'll see when you get the engine in where you top out. The cam and heads should give you a better top end than before. You might want to fix the speedo for that though. As for Jamie, 84t/atpi or whatever, don't you have an 86 like me?

hey u guys in central NJ? do either of u guys go to somerset vo-tech? if ur still in skool? well later

 

no, we're all still in high school......

and yes, ian will top out around 120. with 3.90 gears and a th-350 he will max out fast.

 

I still have the fastest car out of the three of us (Curt and Matt). Who cares when I top out, the race will already be over.
