use an online calculator, and add 200 lbs for the driver, really, this is so simple even a chevy troll can do it. Mustang = 440 Reasonable, +5 HP Corvette = 466 Reasonable, +6 HP Camaro = 482 !RINGER!, +27 HP That's a tuned up car, you can expect 114 out of your Camaro in the real...

They will be within 2-3 mph of each other, that's not a second on a dragstrip, bring your car to one and find out.

I race fairly often, I know what they said about the 5genSS, and guess what, not close. It will be faster, but not as much as your hoping.

It won't be a blowout in the real world, where it matters. Bring your SS to the track and see when it finally shows up, and post reality not magazine bull.

Stick on stick, at a track, on the same day it will be within .2. One magazine test does not solve the discussion.

I can tell you what doesn't work, high flow lines, removing the helper spring, stiff trans mount bushing, shifter, separate reservoirs, fluid change in the trans. Ask me how I know.

I went with an Exedy Mach 700, I should say I changed the disc too and also installed the light chrome moly flywheel, but I'm sure it was the P plate. After about 2 to 3- 1/4 passes the fluid would overflow from the master reservoir, in combination with the dead clutch pedal, and that's what...

Get a tune, you'll be fine. No more 3 valve to Coyote leaps coming. I'm betting its a while before a direct injected tune is refined enough for safe usage. And I would also bet it's closer than MT will have you believe.

No problem, haven't heard of this issue in the S550, but it was in the S197. The Ford pressure plate had "Made in Turkey" stamped on it.

Any type of correctly designed header is going to blow away the manifolds they are using on these motors. If a Boss can pick up 30 with long tubes, I'm betting 40-50 on the Voodoo. More RPM's, higher output per ci, and equal pulse dynamics in its favor over the Boss. With a tune and good fuel to...

If your MT-82 is having the grinding and clutch dropping to the floor, change your pressure plate before you kill your trans. I figured it out in my Boss. Tried all the band-aids first, its an inherent flaw in the pressure plate. (At high RPMs)It pushes back on the throw-out bearing, fluid...

I think the case for the Z/28 being tuned up is solid. These are the same guys that ran 122 with a "stock" Cadillac, so they have shown they are capable of hi-jinks. Now, the SS is a different matter. Too coarse grained of a measurement with missing information to draw a firm conclusion. If...

I think Pill does a good job with his extrapolations and sources. I'd rather read bad info from him than the useless gibberish about 4 of the chevy loving posters that nip his heels post here, that bring nothing new, but are experts at regurgitating google search data. A couple of you guys who...

R's will be running 11.7's@ 121-22 easily, 93 octane and in decent air driven well, not hero level (disclaimer, educated experienced prediction). Non R .2 to .3 behind that. Lets see what showroom Camaros do, not these pre-release cars. Honestly I don't trust GM to deliver or MT to report a bone...

And remember that MT dyno test was in 100 degree heat on 91 octane California piss.

Do a little sleuthing. Take the weight of each of those cars, with driver, and use an online calculator to determine the horsepower from the speed. Gearing is not so important using this method, it tends to be fairly accurate if you make a clean run. You will find the other cars are close to or...

I have to eat my Wheaties before I torque my 385's head-bolts to 140 ft-lbs.

I was exaggerating for effect, but have you ever heard of an electric motor? Moment = torque, torque is a force, not a movement.

Running right it should be about 7100 in 4th gear @ 123, shifting into 4th at 110 mph @ 8200.... that's not perfect but far from shabby, using a 27 inch tire height.

Horsepower is just rate of torque delivery, they both are required to move a mass. You can have infinite torque at 0 rpm, that will break a good wrench. Taken to an extreme, I'd rather have a 2 stroke dirt bike than a train for a 1/4 mile, if I'm going 100 miles I'd prefer the train:cheers: The...
