'67 Camaro Street/Strip rehab - Lateral-g Forums

Thanks Bill and everyone else for the comments. I'm shooting for 600 FWHP with this setup and mid 10s in street trim. Radials, mufflers and tailpipes, pump E85, and full weight should be 3600 or so with my butt in the seat. If we hit our goals, I'll strap a kit on it and try for that single digit later in the season. That motor was full of great parts so I think we can get there. First race is exactly a month away so I will post the results. I freeking love E85 though! I'd convert my lawnmower if I could!

The long term goal is to prep the car for drag week in 2013. I think all we will need is a Gearvendor setup and we should be good. Time will tell.

Thanks guys. Finished up all of the wiring today. American Autowire makes a great kit for sure. Our HD camera is MIA so I took one with our little guy. Sorry for the low res. Just need to install the electric headlamp door kit from Retro-electro, reinstall the seats and console, and install all of the Calvert rear suspension. April 14th is coming up fast. Here's me sounding like a dork.

Killer motor and nice parts list! Don't cha think those heads are a little small though for that compression and cubes?

That thing should make 650+ hp crank easy. Pump gas 10-11:1 420's easily make over 600 at the crank.

They unfortunately are a bit small for my application. It would rip with some 227s on it but they were what I had and a change was out of my budget. Thankfully they are the comp Cnc units with both sides of the runners done and the bowls touched up. Probably leaving 40hp on the table though. Shooting for mid to high tens in full street trim on radials. I think we have enough grunt.
