Re: Top speed for the v6?
I would, but i want to accomplish two objectives:
1) Keeping the original 85MPH one working, even if it means converting the dash to/from "Gear drive"-driven speedo to imput the triple-digit LCD one, then retrofitting it BACK to the mechanical 85MPH gauge;
2) I really want to put Oil pressure GAUGE, Oil temperature GAUGE, coolant temperature GAUGE, and Ammeter (not voltmeter) GAUGE on the dash, too (under steering column.) Keeping the original fuel gauge, which does work. (Basically, im after a nice custom wiring job, so all my old, old brittle wires get replaced in process. Yes i know its time and $$ intensive. So what. I love the car.)
Im not a fan of the all-digital ones, though i have seen those. I want it to be different!
Assuming i had a lot of $$$$, would a setup like what i described (with the items in #2 sitting on the steering column, which is loose in my car) be possible?
I have the 84 2.8 Camaro Carb'd Auto, and when i am reunited with it.. it is not parting from me EVER again.
oh, and btw: *STOCK* 2.8 Camaros only go 145mph after smoking some good chronic/drinking some good beer. They dont like to go very fast. And i say this lovingly... it is a good motor, i love it, im jokingly chiding it as it is my car, and no offense to the weed, lol.... but "top speed" is not its forte. Its not the new Turbo Camaro V6 coming out for MY2012........

Im not sure how a 3.0L Camaro on salt flats relates to that aspect of the car. But, hey, cool! I am not knocking the knowledge i get here.
