1992 Camaro- Road Racing on a budget

[Fox Slaughter]

Hahaha.

Pretty sure you are not allowed to run like that.
You have to have your windows rolled up to run. Let alone have the doors and windshield and roof on it.

I was supposed to make a patch for the RH wheel well but I decided to put that off a few days.
Instead I spent alot of time working on the car but only removed 3lbs. I spent hours untaping multiple harness's to delete the wiring for A/C, washer fluid, and emissions systems.

Its not easy I had planned to start working on it early but I didn't start till 2pm and I called it quits early. Someone once told me "persistence always wins". It took me 6 years to finish the chevelle. I am hoping this project is ready for use this spring.

looks like theres some more emisions stuff and such to go.

If you want to keep the TBI, I just got a new batch of chips in. You'd only need to get an adapter (Moates G1 - $40.50 shipped)

Tyler, I'll burn your chip today and send it out.

go carb I bet there is weight savings there,

[hoogiesngrinderz]

It's a trade off - carbs are hard to dial in because of fuel slosh in the bowls, EFI can have fuel slosh in the tank. Hard transitions really screw up floats!

[TylerT/AZ28]

thanks mike! stock quadrajet is a brick compared to any tbi though. id say do the tbi mods for now give it some more responsiveness and keep the 305 till you get something better.

Good eye! I have yet to decide if I keeping the serpentine belt or installing a v-belt system. I don't want to waste money buying a belt and delete pulley if I use a v-belt system.
Before the debate starts, I prefer to keep the serpentine system but the alternator and A/C pulley sit high. Why is this a problem? I have plans to make a functional heat extractor hood.

I didn't know you programed chips. I 'll keep that in mind! Depends how things pan out on a different car of mine.

Whatever I do, I need an aluminum intake manifold.

I dont really have much to base my opinion on, but my opinion is v-belts suck... Why would you want one? Seems like a serp setup is a lot less friction.

Doesn't Darren have an aftermarket TBI intake?

Cool thread! What ever happened to the stow-and-go French fry mod??

[mcalus]

Going through is exactly what im afraid of... especially for the spare tire one, i dont need any holes in my quarter panel lol

Not trying to thread hijack but I drilled through my bumper when I did my spare tire rack. Lol. It's low enough where it's underneith the bumper vs the quarter panel. So if you do it take the bumper off

You sure are losing a lot of weight Brian!!!

I want to run a heat extractor hood, with a V-belt set up I can run a more aggressive inlet just behind the radiator

Good memory! He did, I believe Tyler owns it now. I didn't know what engine I was going to use, not that I know now.

Thanks! I am not familiar, please elaborate.

Thanks for noticing! It has been too difficult but I think the last 100lbs will be hard to shed!
