I remember the car as well. She's a beauty.
I won't change a thing, except maybe run it NA without the supercharger.
I do believe it was for sale at one point.

Default my car!!

Hello guys!! I have been on this site looking around for about 2 years and this is my car. It is a 1969 camaro RS with a 565 Merlin block producing 1132 HP with a procharger F2. I recently got rid of the powerglide trans and installed a TKO 600 5 speed. This completely changed the car and its road manners. The car has a moser rear end with 3:42 gears and moser axles. The car has 3 inch drop springs by detroit speed with an additional 1 inch block. Also the car has had a new detroit speed dash put in with carbon fiber gauges by autometer. All new carpet and door panels have also been installed. Any more questions regarding the car just let me know!!

SLEDGE33---I am kind of in the same boat you are in. I have about 30 miles on my TKO since I have installed it. It does surge some but I think it is many due to the cam that I am running. When the car is in 5th gear, it wants to surge more when you are below 65 mph. Also in 1st gear, it does want to surge some if you are just idling with no throttle. Like I have said, I have not drove the car much, but I like the drivablity of the tko alot more than the powerglide that was in it. Hope this answers your question!!
