Yes , Its the aero package. I've seen 89 V6 models with and without it. Most of the ones I've seen with them were red.
I think where I live is the f-body capital of the world . Every where you look there is a camaro or firebird. There are 2 other cars just like mine around here.
This place is so poor its all we can afford for a sports car. I guess thats a good thing though :rockon:

My engine looks like y'all's, but it's much cleaner...........LOL.
Actually, I don't have a picture of my engine cause I don't take the 2.8L seriously.
Here's my car pic though. Soon I will have a 305 TPI in it.
I gotta make use of those racing stripes.

my friend has a 82 camaro with a 2.8 he put a edelbrock 4bbl intake and 600 cfm carb on it. there is a big difference between the stock 2.8 intake and carb. i would quess you could add 20 to 25 hp with that. even with that it doesnt run close to mine!

I can answer them all
1. Stick around here and you will lean many things.
2. bbl means barrel, 2bbl carb= 2 barrel carbuerator.
3. Ask KED85 about the 3.4 swap hes done it,and knows just about everything you'll need to do.
Oh and welcome to the boards zaid_oc , Michael O

Yeah the intake gave me 20 more horse power just with the 2BBL. intake, i also swaped my electronic distributor for a vacuum advance one, and a non- computer controled carb.


Tech note:
2BBL.- Two Barrel Carb
4BBL.- Four Barrel Carb

Trust me Most of us are like that.

This board also gets a person like me every once in a while that decides to invest a little(OK ALOT $1200) into equipment and some reasearch to make parts for our cars. Like say Headers? turbo install kit?, later an intake?, a real good 3" CAI METAL TUBE kit. just to name a few ideas bouncing around...
