I may be stupid but....

I'm back in the 3rd gen. I traded my uncle my 95 3.4 5 speed straight up for my car back. I lost quite a bit of money on the deal, and the 92's definately slower...but I missed her..what can I say?


Tech. Hunter, how much are you planning on charging everyone for the headers, and how much is my free set gonna run me shipping?

Nope , I dont think your stupid at all . I've had so much trouble with mine lately my parents said "please let us buy you a new car " Not a brand new one , but like a 98-2000 camaro ...I said "No I LOVE what I drive now , and Id miss it .I would not give it up for a Z28 . I think third gens are the best ones also .
Heck I've only been without mine for 4 days and I miss it bad enough . I was out by the shop that it is at but could not see it . I was telling ya'll the shop has 14 stalls I was wrong about that . I just counted how many they have .They have 34 stalls !!!!!!! I dont know which one my car is in . That's gatta be the largest Repair shop in South Louisiana !!! 34 stalls !!!!!!

I see.... I have posted the price of them I don't know how many times now... $150 Plus S&H. Yours email me. I'll do for a little over my cost on supplies. S&H charges are at UPS web site. roughly 20-25 pounds(Going by weigth of full length untill I can have these shorties weighed) from zip 62999.

Think I'm gonna wait on the turbo headers....I'm debating if I wanna do a 3.4 turbo swap. I'm missing the speed of the 95...granted, it wasn't much more...but it was faster.

Simple solution.
Swap in a 3.4!
Find a stick set up.
Who,
ASK CALICAMARO wher he got his mail order 3.4 from in Florida.
They are overstocked on them.
I'm still awaiting to hear from Dan if it arrived yet.
Sell the 2.8/3.4 left over stuff on eby. I got $105 for my pile of 3.4 stuff.

These headers are turbo compatable. you just have to wait for me to develop the rest of the system.

ovrclck, thats not stupid at all

i'd rather have the 3rd gen

they have a certain mystique to them


granted, if was given a choice between an 82 sc with a 2.8 or a 97 RS like my dads, i would go for the 97 RS

but almost anything else, i would take the 3rd gen

Heres what i would have done... find a friend who could trust very well, sell your thirdgen to them for dirt cheap, let your parents buy you a new camaro, turn around and sell that, then buy your thirdgen back and you got tons of money to mod

well for those interested I got the engine today. I need to barrow my neighbors engine lift to get it set straight and cetered on my stand though... But I have it at least. I aslo got that stock EGR header today as well. So now I have an idea of how to hook the system up.


As far the CARB stuff... I got an email saying it was being forwarded to a person that could help me with it.
