Re: 1969 L-78 Camaro SS 20K Original Miles
Bruno, what are the rules of Stock Class Drags? Are any mods allowed such as exhaust, headers, gears, cams, etc. With a set of open headers and some carb tuning, I am confident that car would run high to mid 12's on slicks just the way it sits.
For a better launch, I would replace the stock M21 close ratio gears with an Italian wide ratio M22 gearset. They offer a 2.52 or 2.54 low gear and a lower thrust load due to the 22 degree tooth angle which will improve the 60' times and increase effeciency. Many of the Muncie Aluminum cases were damaged by high RPM launches on slicks with the M20 and M21 gearsets because of the high thrust loading on the input gear.
I know this car inside out so feel free to contact me with any questions you may have when setting the car up for racing.
Give me a call when you get the car.
Cheers, Paul
