Hobbs Camaro (Old Drag Car)

[ScotI]

Mark,

What adapter was used for the intake that allows this packaging? I was looking into an aftermarket style body but I'm intrigued about possibly using my existing 6.0 DBW unit.

Or if you know of any other details on this I can research/investigate that you could share, it would be appreciated.

Probably this or something similar.

This is what I was hoping for (available vs something that was one-off built).
TY sir.... I'll check into it.

I don’t have any data other than “looking X guessing”. I would bet the stock LS7 Camaro Z/28 Tri Y headers will make more power. The GM Powertrain team did a lot of work on those Z/28
Manifolds to get over 505 HP stock.

I have made over 800 HP with the Holley exhaust manifolds on a blower motors.

Both are good. The Holley’s fit the “look” of the engine bay better.

I have made over 900 HP with the Holley exhaust manifolds on a blower motors.

Both are good. The Holley’s fit the “look” of the engine bay better.

On season 1 episode 15 of Engine Masters they tested the Holley manifold against a mid and full length on a LS.




But for those that don’t have the capability of watching.

Thanks. I use those tri-y LS and LT manifolds on all the junk I build . I find them on eBay for a couple of hundred dollars. Great value but they are a little ugly.

What I learned on the Gen 5 Camaro Z/28 program is the LS7 works better if you keep the oil cool. This Earls oil cooler maybe a tad too big put I had it on the shelf. Im also using an Innovative Eng thermostat to regulate the temp. For a cruiser I chose the 210F thermostat.

You really want to get the oil temp up to 212F to help get the water out of the oil when you are just cruising around.






It required a little rework of of the header panel support.

Hi Mark,

Quick Question.

I am so torn with painting my Radiator and AC Condenser as I feel the paint always flakes off. Do you have any suggestions as what to use.
