Racing at Byron in Rockford IL

[ssl78]

I know its there I really never planned on racing it. I still only was running about 34 degrees of total timing because I only run premium unlead ( im too cheap to pop for the good gas or octane booster). If I remember right bb like about 42 degrees of total timing. When I bought the car it had four flat exhaust lobes and all I did was change the cam. The best mph I ran was 98 if I remember right that should be a high 13 time. I belive with some test and tune time the car could run 13.60s with some new tires the ones on there now are at least 12 years old. I think it would be better to spend my time on the ZL-1 I think high 11s is possible with a set of slicks at least it has a scater shield. The ZL-1 has A solid roller cam Headers complete msd ignition balanced blueprinted and a Doug Nash 5 speed.

Yeah, the BBC's like lots of timing, but unless you're running slicks it's only good for smoke shows. The L-72 now in the Camaro liked 40 degrees on the dyno, while the previous engine liked 39. But, I had to crank it back to 34 degrees just so it could get moving, and that's when it went 12.44@112. Now, if I was on stickies, I'd crank it back up! That's typical "Pure Stock" thinking...usually backwards of what normal race cars do!
