Re: Z-28 1/4 Mile Times
 

If things work out, I hope to take it back this Sep with drag radials, good tune-up and now have a full MSD ign system. The problem I was seeing was that if I dumped the clutch too low the car would bog. If too high I would cook the tires. I don't think the wide ratio M20 works very well on the track.

Who wins the race between two stock Z's.....the '69 or '70 version?

Just curious.

Same gear ratios I would say the 70, better aerodynamics and suspension. The 69,s are a better looking car though https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Z-28 1/4 Mile Times
 

I like all of the First Gen’s, the 70-72 plus the 80-81 Z/28… The 69 Styling is timeless. My favorite being the 70-1.
I have owned a 69 and a few 70’s through the years. The 80-81 Z/28 are real dogs but they look great. My 69
was a Screamer with that little DZ engine but lacked torque. Many years ago I managed mid 13’s at Atco with
my 69, it had a 4, 11 gear and headers The LT1 is a lot stronger in my opinion. GM really did their homework
when they designed The Second Generation Z/28 Camaro. It is a much better riding and handling car then the
1st gen. The 70 Z/28 LT1 engine with some tweaking and a tall gear are extremely quick. The DZ and LT1 both
liked to REV and with them solid lifter’s they Rev Real Fast. That’s why so many of them were Vented. It’s a
shame Rev Limiters were not readably available back then as they are now. I put MSD-6AL’s on all of my cars now.
Better safe then sorry….

MPH is actually measured as an average over the last 60' I think. More spin off the line would result in a slower ET but might give you a higher mph because once it gets traction it's in a higher rpm range allowing more speed at the end. Not sure if that has any validity to it so take it with a grain of salt or with a https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif.

Why do you think I have an LT-1 in my 69 Z https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif No better small block made, or motor for that matter, period.

Re: Z-28 1/4 Mile Times
 

What had more true horsepower, the 302 or LT-1? Bet its close.
