Pretty quick camaro. What is done to the motor? I had a 400 I ran in a tubbed 71 1/2ton with a torqer manifold, holley 750, 202 heads ,292 cam and 4.56 gears. It ran hard, but nothing like that camaro.

Damn, that Camaro was out! Any numbers for it?
I tried to get a yellow 67-68 Camaro convertible to run me yesterday in the G8, but they were just out cruising and not looking for a race. It sounded good, but with those cars you can never tell. Sounding good could mean it runs 15's or 11's, haha.

Just a stock 400 block .40 over with -21cc dish pistons somewhere around 9:1 comp. Big lunati cam, 20 year old dart pro 1 heads 2.05 valves, a holley single plane intake with a demon carb. 4.10 gears with caltracs on 28 inch tall drag radials. Its a buddy of mines car we help put together. Best time on motor is a 7.3 1/8 and 11.2's 1/4 and on the spray on the small shot is 6.7 1/8 and 10.4x's the motor times are on the 28 inch drag radial and the nitrous times are on the 26 inch tall drag radial. Car has alot more in it on motor and on nitrous. I think with a set of alum heads and a new solid roller cam the car could see some 7.0s-6.9s on motor and some low 6s- 5.80s on spray on teh small shot. Car runs on 93 pump gas and he drives it all the time and has even driven when it snowed down here. Car is pretty quick for a street car. The gto in the video has went a best of 12.0-12.1's if i'm not mistaken, alabamaguy on here can clarify that.

Cuts 1.6s at the track and 1.6s on the street if that tells you how it hooks, oh ya forgot to mention its a th350 witha 3400 nitrous convertor in it and shift kit. The car weighs 3200lbs with my small 120lb buddy driving it and I am 360lbs and I was the one video taping it.

Bullshit. Built enough SBC's and Camaro's to call bullshit on that build running those numbers. Trying to sell a 400ci dart pro headed SBC, at 9.0 compression, running low 10's in a 3200 pound 69?? First thing first: my last camaro, bone stock 70 with a 307/powerglide/10 bolt and full weight was 3200 pounds at first. Basic weigh loss got 2800 pounds. Friends 69 that I helped build was a LS6 454/tubo 400/12bolt with no carpet/headliner/sound deadener: weighed just over 3100 pounds.
SBC 400 with Dart Pro heads? Well, first thing first: those Dart Pro's were and probably still are some top notch heads; that being said, at 9.0 compression you would have to spin 8000rpms to get the 500+rwhp you would need to push a 3200 pound camaro into the low 10's like you are claiming. SO unless that thing actually is running that rpm (which means one expensive build: splayed 4 bolt caps and a topnotch forged steel crank, H beam aluminum rods, a very well thought out valvetrain (solid roller or solid flat tappet cam, stud girdled steel roller rockers or most likely a shaft mounted setup), electric water pump/fans, full MSD ignition (probably a crank trigger setup,too), etc.
In short, if you are trying to put that engine off as a "mildly built SBC" you are full of it.

Sorry man, for some damned reason I thought it was 10.2 on motor. 11.2 is within the realm of believable, though still talking a motor that is probably making 500+ crank hp. I have only seen a very very few street driven (and only one that was really streetable), pump gas 500hp (or 425rwhp) 400ci or smaller smallblock chevy's. tell your buddy good job on his build for me.

Its all good man. I highly doubt it would make over 450 on motor having to go through the th350, steel driveshaft, and 12 bolt rearend. But hey it works so thats what we keep in there for. Its a bad car for sure and I fore see it hitting some low nines by the beginning of next year.
