2.8 engine still under construction, looking for advice to stretch out this mean 2.8

 

this isn't the section you want...check out the V6 board if you want ideas for modding your engine...good luck with your car, it looks nice

 

add a few turbos, you will be fine.

 

edit: non tech content removed, tech content left

 

PFE Headers, custom mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust, high flow muffler, crane 2030 cam, port/polish the heads, and either 75 shot of nitrous, or a turbo boosting 10psi.

 

does no body see what i see here? That has to be the nicest looking non-gfxed camaro i've seen in quite some time. Beautiful car, looks great and factory-ish. I'm up for all those same mods listed above, the 2030 sometimes is considered to "mild" by some, and a more aggressive cam is desireable, do a lil' searching just about every major cam company makes performance cams for our cars so it's not hard to find one. The Q is will it work with the computer, tehre'd be nothing wrose then spending all the time putting a cam in only to discover that it screws the comp so bad that it won't run right, ever. You'd probably find more power w/ 10 lbs on a 2.8L but the nitrous will most likely be cheaper, so that's just a "what ya wanna do" if you're gonna do the real deal 2.8 setup, lee can probably help you find out what you're needing, build urself a good platformed engine with all the forgies then swap that one into your ride and equip the turbo charger, your power gains will be incredible.

P.S. Welcome to the boards

 

Sweet ride welcome to the boards. Hey check out the local club in my sig.

 

GFX SUCK! Nice car..

 

Thank you for your educated opinion. Lets see you sucky car without GFX's, can it top this? DIdn't think so- keep your opinions to yourself

 

Wow, AGood, I never realized you had GFX...

I'm kinda partial to them, personally, but I'm not adding them to the '86 due to an urge to be **** about weight.

 

Nice white car, but kill that attenna...

 

two tone paint sux!


hehe, actually, i didnt realize you even had GFX either..

 

This car is a limited edition Calif RS. They were only offered in Calif in '87 and came from the dealer they way you see it (Except the '87 Chrome Irocs I added) Paint is original from the dealer! Most don't know its only a V6 unless I tell them. It intimidates the heck out of most Fords. Some do know their engine tones though, but very few.

 

And what would you recommend in its place?

 

That antenna is areodynamically bent for speed to 132mph SSHHHHH! It the secret to making a V6 fast.

 

Interesting paint sceem. Look's kinda kool

 

Thank you, thats what I thought when I bought it. It is definately different, however it does match the body lines well. I am actually amazed I haven't seen more paint schemes simular over the years. Heres a better side shot of the stripes going up over the rear.
Edit: theres that 100 mph antenna again

 

that car looks like its in great shape man, id take care of it and leave the street racing to the kids who wish they had as nice of a car as you do , but instead have moms old humper to work

 

All very nice cars. I persoanlly like the GFX, I think most people do. Non GFX package cars just look naked to me but I have a factory N-GFX car with GFX now but everyone likes thier cars different.

Agood, Ive seen a car with the same paint as yours in a bone yard a few years back, nothing I needed on it so I dident pay much attention to it. Dident know they were factory like that, just thought someone painted it.

 

It wasn't "factory paint" It was "dealer paint"- This car was the "87 Calif edition car the dealer recieved- They custom stripped it and displayed it in their showroom.

 

Well since I'm "on Probation" again- they won't let me edit my spelling errors-

The above was ment to say - This car was the FIRST '87 RS Calif edition Camaro that the dealer recieved.

 

way to hijack the new guys thread AGood2.8

 

Personaly I do like the gfx, but I have seen some verynice looking ones without.
just depends on the owner/car

craig

 

Dude your car looks like a used *****! And btw yes my car looks much better than yours, i think your the one who needs to shut up. going from post to post sounding like a special ed student talking about how your stock ig is better than a msd because you wrapped your coil. I (and im not alone) think your car is ugly as sh*T,.What fords feel intemidated by your heap of crap? Pintos? I really think you need to get over yourself and get a life.

 

*dons flame protective suit*

 

Not flaming just tired of agood with his "better than most" thought process. All i was saying is i think cars without gfx look better. Some say cars with gfx look better. He comes back at me with the negativity as he does alot on here. Seems like he has a hard time taking in peoples opinions, ive seen him act like this over and over on here. Anyways. To the starter of this thread, nice car, dont ever get gfx if your thinking of it.

 

I don't come off telling people this "sucks" or that looks like a "d****".

What I have done is try to explain to people the better way to go with things and explain why- Unfortunately that seems to offend some people because (fact is) nobody likes to feel they have wasted their money on something. My opinions are always based on facts and experience- which I happen to have alot of when it comes to 3rd gens- (suspension wise- my opinions have been strongly backed/endorsed by Steve Spohn himself)- you want proof- Ask, I'll find the quote)

My statement on the MSD post was NOT that they sucked!
My opinion on the MSD post WAS that they are simply redondant, and not necessary if the other componants are shipshape.

 

what the heck did they put YOU on probation for? heck i start more trouble then you ever do.....



and before someone bitches about using PMs or email.... i tried... you cant PM someone when they're on probation.


dude, you might want to enable it so people can email you from the board... that way we can still talk to ya...

 

What I find funny is when ANYONE on here says anything negative, everyone whines and bitches like little 12 year olds on here.


It's the internet, get over it.


MrDude and AGood, you've both pissed lotsa moderators off apparently.
