Re: PSMCR 2002
Craig:
It was nice to finally meet you in person! If there are any more cool pictures you want to post, we would be glad to see them! L78Imp: Bring out that big car! Someone who lurks around this site is trying to get into an L-72 Biscayne for the event, so an L-78 Imp would compliment it perfectly! The Chevrolet hi-po big cars haven't been there in force yet, but there is no time like the present! Hey, how about you shoot a pic of those manifolds and post it...I'd like to take a look! (Or maybe I just want to see what I'm missing!)

Re: PSMCR 2002
For your viewing pleasure...
This is what a perfect light looks like: 0.500 Launch Berger Camaro Launch LS6 Launch (Can't forget about you Chevelle guys..) Can't wait till next year, I'll have to bring my 69 RS/SS and run the Polyglas's. Craig.

Re: PSMCR 2002
"That LS6 isnt like ours. Cant see light under the wheels. The back wheels that is. Right Rob......"
Jonathan He would have gotten light under the front tires if the hood flapper was open................. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I agree with Mr70, very nice photo for us Chevelle guys!

Re: PSMCR 2002
Actually, that is a non-cowl, dual snorkel, auto/column car, that ran 12.50s[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]! One of Jansen's several early '70s auto/column A-bodies, and they ALL seem to haul @ss!
As for the "daylight under the tires", little bro was referring to the slight wheelhop problem I had with our LS-6. It was TERRIBLY violent to say the least. This seems to be a common problem with 4-speed A-bodies, particularly the '70+ cars. Any ideas on how to fix it? I've got to figure out a way to hook my '69 when it's done.

Re: R3 Studes
M:
Got the following email from one of my Stude contacts: R2 and R3 engine packages with superchargers were both factory option packages. R1 was the normally aspirated "Avanti" engine. R2 had a blower feeding into the four barrel. R3 had the blower feeding into a pressure box containing the four barrel carb. There were a lot of R1's, quite a large number of R2's and I believe, from memory, only nine factory R3's (eight in Avantis and one in a Lark-type body-still exists).

Re: PSMCR 2002
Rob - for your wheel hop...
Easiest non-invasive fix would be an air bag inside the pass-side rear spring. Also you could swap your rear upper and lower control arms with boxed trailing arms and poly bushings. Or you could bolt on Lakewood traction bars. Or a control arm relocation (no-hop) kit which changes the instant center. My '65 Chevelle (boxed arms, no-hop kit) raises up front and rear when I launch. -Seattle Sam
