First time on the track with the new LT1/T56 setup in my 3rd gen.
No traction what so ever this run, ran a 14.3 @ 109.8 MPH and the cobalt ran 14.7 @ 101.2 MPH.
This was at Cayuga Dragway.
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - Test Drive and Hoon of a 3rd Gen
A simple morning drive featuring a 1982 Camaro Z28 with a few mechanical updates. This car was built to be driven and I do... a lot.
Here's a list of some of the additions:
GM Performance 290 HP 350 c.i. crate engine
Hotchkis Suspension
Baer T4 Cross drilled and slotted brakes
Flowmaster 3" Exhaust
Spohn tubular control arms and torque arm
Koni adjustable shocks
Flaming River quick ratio steering box and leather wheel
OMP racing seats
6 point mild steel cage
6 Speed manual transmission built by Hanlon Motorsports
...and the seriously sweet Alpine cassette stereo from the 80's!
3rd Gen Camaro - Fox-Body Mustang (the good, bad and the ugly)
Most car guys don't know the difference between the 230hp G92 optioned models, or the 5-speed and automatic models, or the 170hp lackluster TBI versions (not to be confused with TPI versions)... Mustang guys smoke the 170hp TBI models, as well as the "run of the mill" TPI automatic models, and believe they can do this to any and all. Well, not all 3rd Gen F-bodies are created equal. Optioned from the factory with the 230hp TPI (not TBI) engine, manual 5-speed tranny and 3.42 gears, these 3rd Gen F-body sleepers gave 5.0 Mustangs absolute hell.
In 1990 the G92 option code became a full performance package rather than simply a rear axle option as in previous model years... GM also offered an answer to the Saleen Mustangs by way of option 1LE, which consisted of the G92 optioned without A/C and other creature comforts, and the addition of Corvette brakes and other road racing equipment.
About the only way an IROC-Z Camaro could take out a 5.0L Mustang from this era was with the Tuned Port Induction and addition of these performance options: G92, 1LE, L98 or B4C.
The TBI powered Camaro were not at all in the same league as the performance version TPI Camaro, or 5.0 Mustang, these 170hp TBI models were GM's economy de-tuned versions and were around 50-60 less horsepower versus the performance optioned TPI models. These non-performing models gave the 3rd Gen F-bodies a bad rep on the street... many think that these were the example of 3rd Gen F-bodies, when in fact, and unlike Ford, GM offered many models, with many engines, camshafts and rear-gear ratios...

LT1 3rd Gen Camaro Playing Around
Its almost impossible to pull out of this corner without getting some slow retard in front of you at the turn... *sign* Just getting the car up to about 90 on the freeway to run some errands. It Sounds Great!

Sac Raceway me running against LT1 Camaro. 2009 Cobalt SS turbo, GMS1 and DP. 13.7 @ 108 was my best time I need work on my Launch and had no traction shifting into second gear.
LT1 3rd Gen Camaro Exhaust
1987 Iroc-Z, Fresh 95 LT1 Motor Swap, LT4 Hotcam, Shortty Edelbrock Headers, 2'5 Y-Pipe Single Exhaust w/ Flowmaster Muffler.
NOTE: Upon removal of the stock heads its was determined that the smoke was caused by a broken valve seal. They have since been replaced with a set of aluminum trickflow ported heads. The Smoke is now gone.
The Exhaust has also been painted black underneath so it dosnt look like crap anymore, it also has a set of 3" Chrome Stainless end tips.
3rd Gen Camaro Build
A (lotta) work in progress. I started this project to swap a 191cubic inch V6 to a 350 V8 (along with performance parts, and swapping & upgrading the transmission) in 2009. (see modifications list below.) These are pictures and videos as I progressed and the very first engine start and test drive. I applied primer to protect the metal as I knew I would have to put the project on hold, which is where it has been since. Plan to start again by gutting & redoing the interior here in 2012.
