Hello from Calgary Alberta Canada. it is 11/-12 & snowing. How you doing. My name is Tony. aka drag racer. I owned a 70 1/2 Camaro from 1981 to 2014. When I was 14 years old my older brother bought a 68 Camaro RS/SS 396/350 horse 4 speed/410 gears. My brother was a real gear head. Within 2 weeks out came the cam he replaced it with a 427/425 solid lifter cam shaft. Follow week because of RPM gain from 5500 RPM to 6500 RPM he said we needed lower gears out came the 410 and in went 456. With 7 inch slicks the car ran 12.60 @ 108 MPH. In 1968 that was fast and I was hocked. In 2010 I bought a 1979 Buick Regal limited. It has a 301/4 barrel with a M200 will post pic when I figure out how to do that. This car has shocks/bumpers? What? Hopefully this forum will help me keep this G body going.
