Default 95 camaro vs 70 nova *Video*

well recently a kid from my school got his 1970 nova ss completly rebuilt(his daddy paid for it all) it has a new generation 5.3 sprint car motor in it so it is cammed and the whole shabang and he wanted to race my friend in his 95 z28 that has full bolt ons. well here it is....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBasTGI5dw

after the race the camaro found out he was running on only 7 cylinders due to a fried plug wire. cant wait to race him in my car come spring!!

ya i think he could have held him of to. next time they race i think it will be a different story. i beleive the camaro now has a set of 373's he is throwin in so i would think that would make a difference

toss those POS wires and go back to stock IMO. MSD's for LS engines are garbage, even brand new out of box they Ohm to high on half the wires. waste of money and cause of needless misery.

it is an auto, not sure what gears he runs either. i do not have pics of the car but it is a nice looking car, it should be for the amount of money stuffed into the thing, it has been completely rebuilt.

I'm not usually a fan of side pipes, but that Nova looks pretty good. Good race! I smell a rematch in the works.

putting the windows up in the nova might help it a little too instead of having all that damn drag.

What make you think that OEM wires are inferior? Stick with stock and you can't go wrong. If you're FI or alot higher comp. than stock you could always check and see if the C6Z06 or maybe even ZR1 wires fit (if they are any different than what your LS1 uses in the first place).

I've most likely bought for myself, or installed for friends/family, every single brand of plugs or wires that have come out in the last 20 years... And I'll be the first to admit that OEM wires couldn't handle higher than stock cylinder pressures for a long time: in the last 10 years things have changed. Stick with stock wherever possible and you will rule out probably the biggest cause of bad running modded engines out there today (behind only crappy tunes).
