Cruising with my friend last night. We ran each other. My car is a 1972 Buick Skylark. 350-2 barrel, dual exhaust. Nothing special, all stock. He has a 1979 Chevy Camaro Z-28. 350-4 barrel, k&n air cleaner, 4 speed and he says posi. On the first run i smoked him. I took him really easy. On the second run, I smoked the tire, one wheel wonder, and he beat me. The spedometer said it was goin 40 mph but the car was barely moving. I was pretty proud that my 2 barrel Buick could take his Camaro, but he has all that stupid emissions crap. Man, I love Buicks. :3gears: :beer
I had a 71 that was a rust bucket. I used it for parts. It had a 2 barrel on it and got beat bad by a buddy in his 78TA. I put a Q jet offa 455 I had that was good and cut the single exaust off. Man he swears I put a bottle on it till this day. man it was afun car for $200.00. You should puta 4 barrel on yours. doug :3gears:
Just don't try it with a late model Z-28. Those LS-1 motors are very impressive. My BBB can take my son-in-laws 2002 6-speed up to about 115 but he just keeps on pulling. He runs about 13.5 and I run about 12.2. All you guys with 350's, it looks like you have a way underrated motor.
Good kill. Sounds like he got the one round because you've got a little too much power (spun your wheels). I'm a Camaro fan, but your car should be able to beat it easy, and beat some a few years older too. Keep it up, and practice your launches... when no one is looking, of course.
Silly me I though I said I changed the intake ou: Ya i ahvea budd with a LS1 car and it runs on the big end. Might Hva eto get me a 2.41 rear gear and some suspention mods and I might be able to keep with him to about 140-150mph but thats about all. Hes Had his car toa top speed of 164mph crazy at that speed. :spank: Doug
I WOULD LIKE TO BEAT A LATE LS1 WITH MY REGAL GS BUT I NEED A FEW THINGS. LIKE..AIR INDUCTION,EXHAUST,PULLEYSYSTEM,INJECTORS,PCM p
Hey Alan, They Have A Reprograming Moduale For The Gs Its The Same As For The Pontaic Grand Prix It Helps To Shift Harder And Its Just A Plug And Play Type ...
I even heard that there's a programming module for sale that can teach people about the proper use of the CAPS LOCK function on their keyboard.... :TU: :TU:
that z should of took you.unless there is more to your car than you know like a 3.42 rear gear,that could of helped you.just my opinion.
I think those era Z's only had about 200 hp, mushy. My son has an LT1 Z28 that goes strong in the 12's. He claims stock but I know better I did the mods and gear change. Still won't keep up with my X :3gears:
those z28's had 175 h.p. stock they would still light up the tires ok though. i should know, i still have my 79 z after 15 years. the 555 with dart heads etc. etc. will be the 4th motor. those things stock with a/c still weigh 3650 lbs. heavy sub framed slobs. i have lightened mine to 3300. any way i will stop rambling now.
