Car: 85' Firebird (Project), 92' RS
Engine: 2.8L, LS1
Transmission: 700R4, 4L60E
Axle/Gears: 3.42 Open , 10 Bolt (ukn)
unless ur speedo doesn't work , or you're computer isn't telling the car to shut down, it really shouldn't do 130...but, that's open for debate, as some v6ers say there's a governer at 115, andothers will say they've done 128 etc....kinda gray area.
PS-
Your trans won't shift up into OD at Wide Open Throttle, unless you've got a vette, or have done the shiftkit modifications to allow it, the car will stay in 3rd gear as long as it's floored, and in many cases, after it's not...as long as the car thinks it needs a lot of line pressure to hold that speed, itll remain in 3rd gear.
Car looks nice, would like to have seen the stripes extend a tad more forward, almost like the factory 92' style stripes on the heritage camaros, but it looks good. Not a big fan of the stripe on the side, but to each his own. - it kinda says CAMARO to me...and i'm like "yeh, i know it a camaro, and not a mustang."

the side stripes are just a decal that the guy who painted my car made for it. if I get tired of them i can just pull them off. and the speed was just an estimation cause i have the 85mph speedo and it wraps aroud to the start of the other side of the speedo

vast improvement... love it.
... my ol LG4 would hit 120, i'm sure the 2.8 isn't too far behind, prolly just takes a tad longer.
now w/ the HO, I'll need a bigger wing, haha

It must be nice to have a car that goes so fast the rear plate springs can't hold up the plate!

I didn't put on any GFX cause i have scraped the front end on the roads in the town i live in. so any GFX would have been gone a long time ago
and its not that fast. 
what are the three slots in the front bumper cover there for? Looks, cooling, something else?
