Re: Camaro V6 2.8L Superchraged

awesome thinking outside the box.When I was a tech at a pontiac , buick , gmc dealer those reagal gs cars were run to beat on on a normal car.

How about some more pic's of how you adapted the Sc etc.. I bet its a fun car and still gets decent gas milage.

Re: Camaro V6 2.8L Superchraged

Nice job. Would love to see more details.

I'm assuming a custom upper intake-manifold, correct?

How much power is it pushing?

Re: Camaro V6 2.8L Superchraged

Perfect I will post the pictures on facebook .. I saw its publication gumby and thanks to that I joined thirdgen.

I'm from Costa Rica, sorry my English is not very good, I bought my camaro in 2009 I did the project in August 2012 thanks to God was very good, I still have details like bigger injectors, because it has the original the charger is in 7psi and I have not been able to measure on the dynamometer but if running much more than original. I will post on facebook project photos

Your English is better than some people that have English as a first language.

As long as you attempt to speak (type) in a manner that is understandable, that's all that matters. It's when people are lazy and speak in ways that are hard to understand, that we do not like.

do u have a wideband for monitoring air fuel ratio?

if u port the heads yourself and add a 100$ cam from delta u should pick up around 50-75hp with no other changes

Nice work man, I'd like to see the manifold or adapter you fabricated to do this. Are you going to add a cowl to the hood?
