Here's a site that shows you different times for the camaro. It looks like the 79 z28 was in the 16 second range.

Right now I don't have that much money, but I took the A/C out. I am going to buy the posi and gears from a friend. I was looking in to a mild cam .447/.454 and nitrous. i read I can do 125 stock and 150 if I buy a ignition system.
