Default Re: now that ive gotten ahold of a first gen...

Yup, I can say it easy. I have a 67 Camaro with a 540 BBC that on the engine dyno produced 834 hp NA. It has run a best of 10.31 @ 132mph so far and I still haven't used my NOS system capable of an additional 250hp. Oh, did I mention that it is registered and insured for my street cruises?
The best part is...I also have a 69 Camaro with a LS6 Z06 engine and a T56 6speed project going. Here is a link to the 69 and I have no idea how to post a picture of my 67 since it is not on any web page. Either way, you will enjoy your 1st Gen.

834 N/A RWHP and you are in the 10s? What are you racing with, snow tires?
