79 camaro
Re: 79 camaro I think they're rated at like 190 hp from the factory, so they aren't all that fast. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Of course, the nice thing about second gens is that a big block swap isn't that terribly difficult. So, I'd say it'd run anywhere from 16's to 9's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
But if you're talking stock, well, mid 15's is probably realistic. My times are at altitude. I have an Edelbrock carb & Performer intake, and a weak cam, and that's it for go-fast mods. Everything else is stock. Considering how cheap parts are for these cars, I'm tempted to mod it up, but I get in, turn the key, and it goes. Ya gotta have at least one car like that, and you can mod the rest of 'em. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: 79 camaro Thanks trying to help, but I was asking because I have this motor in a 82 friebird. I have a edlebrock intake holley 600, headers, and a TH350 tranny. I was on my name this is mine. What should it run with these things?
