Cobb Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 One of my friends bought a 00 ss six speed camaro over the weekend. We found a radar detecter and went to race. my truck is stock to so, we go out the frist time and he killed it, second time we go we were soppposed to go to 80 and quit. He got me at 71, but it was class because he just keeped spinning. So i have it made around the city area it is all 45mph and ten or so stop lights, coming up next weekend will be a honda si hatchback with a few mods here and there. Cobb
383ss Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 so what you are saying is your friend is a really bad driver.
Cobb Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Posted January 18, 2005 yes, i am, but he traded his honda in for it, what sould he have caught me at? He also has a mustang he is building but i think he is done with the 351 idea.
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I raced a 2001 Camaro in my work truck back in 2001, he said it was an LS1. I raced him 4 times, each time to about 90mph. He would get me by 1 to 3 lengths each time. I had a very hard time believing he was stock, as he would tell me it was stock he would laugh, and my truck had a 475-500hp 440, big cam, tunnel ram, ported heads, 4.10 gears etc etc... He kept asking what I had under the hood and laughing, so I kept telling him a slant 6! LOL! I could run with high 12 second cars no problem, and this car could beat me every time. I was impressed, to say the least.
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 I love f bodies especially with the LS1, the v6 is no fun. A WS6 or an SS is high 13s I thought. He might have had some mods, it doesn't take much to make an LS1 very fast. Crazymoparguy, were you racing in your hot rod RV

CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Crazymoparguy, were you racing in your hot rod RV Nope. I was in my 440 1978 work truck. My motorhome wouldn't have stood a chance.
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 that 440 truck doesn't look fast at all nice sleeper . is that 440 running the 6 pack
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 that 440 truck doesn't look fast at all nice sleeper . is that 440 running the 6 pack <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it was a tunnel ram with two 4bbls that fit under the hood.
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Thats even better you really know how to pack the power in. Is that setup similar to the 426 hemi with the 2x 4bbl
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Is that setup similar to the 426 hemi with the 2x 4bbl <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My truck's intake was a bizzare one. It's actually a tunnel ram sixpack intake, designed for three two barrels. The top was modified to allow for the four barrel carbs, the runners were opened up, fuel dams were installed inside, and there were fogger nitrous holes drilled. I ran two 450 cfm Holley centerfloat carbs on it when I had it on my truck. The intake was used on a street driven Cuda that went 9.46 at S.I.R. back in 1989-1990. It's nothing like a Hemi intake though.

A complete novice can put one into the twelves no prob. And I like your 440 - nice! What head castings did you use? Mr. P.
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 What head castings did you use? I used 452 castings, I cut them .030 and used a Felpro composite head gasket, so the compression wasn't affected by the thick gasket, it was actually bumped up a bit. 2.08 intake and 1.74 exhaust still (stock) but I opened them up, deshrouded the valve bowls and put a decent grind on them. I think many of my buddies mistakenly think most late model Camaros were 14 second cars at best, I think many old school rodders do too. The Camaro I raced idled like a **** cat, and pulled as hard as many souped up big block muscle cars of old. I was impressed I tell ya!
mwalls54 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 i have raced a few 200x camaro ss's and all of them turn low 13s to high 12s. either your buddy cant drive or the car is sick.
Cobb Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Posted January 20, 2005 he just cant drive yet , but i will get me computer done in a week or so
