Ok after 1 1/2 years of owning my 68' i finally got to the track. Im going to tell you everything that ive got and you have to guess what i ran. The closest one wins a free.... uh you dont win anything, just pride that you know your $hit.
here goes,
327" 160K, (burns lots of oil)
Headers H pipe 2.5 inch dual piping and 2 chamber Flows.
crane cam .440 lift

I'll guess 14.7 @ 98 mph - unless you're hitting the squeeze button after 60 feet http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

------------------
68 Camaro, 383 small block with TH350 trans. 11.98's at 111mph and never trailered.

I would guess about 14.40 @ 99 mph.

damn you pat, you shoulda called me, I woulda ran mine too. Me and a friend finally got around to really tuning it and the thing runs like a completely different car. I also got the back rims on and everything else on the body (bumpers and stuff). Oh, and I'll give you... 14.3 @ 99 mph... because I'm optimistic. I'm probably gonna be outta town friday but I'll call you saturday and maybe we can go race somewhere, I want to see how my car compares to the one legged wonder.

Its a tough call because of the worn motor, and the fact that I dont usually deal with stuff this light, but I'll say 15.2@89 mph

14.80 at 87 mph

i'm hoping not higher than a 14.5 @96 mph or i will be even more dissapointed in my car than i ever have been. i put up a 14.58 @ 93 mph w/ 3.31's a .500 reaction time, and 2.26 60' times. and i have a 345 hp 360ci brand new motor.

I'd guess about 15.1 @ 85MPH. Not much power, and nuttin' gettin' to da track with those 2.73 "prairie gears"!!

68RS, 331, 10.5:1, 4spd, 3.90 9", lowered, 245-45-16's all 'round

I'll guess a 14.3 at 92 mph... in second gear.

Mark

15.1@92 on street tires is my guess.

My friends 69 Chevelle went 15.6@87 with a old 327 and 308 gear.

67RS CAMARO - STREET CAR, 502 PUMPGAS, HYD. ROLLER, TH350 w/ATI 10" 12-BOLT w/373 ET= 10.47@129 60FT=1.55 ~ ON MOTOR, ET-STREETs w/MUFFLERS

SOON TO BE 383 W/ SUPERRAM

What's the Prize?

------------------
Everett 68/350/PG/11.90/115mph

The 2.2 60' isn't that bad for those gears and a peg leg. I'm going to be an optimist and go with 14.25 @ 99.

I think you threw a rod out the side of the block and coasted over the finish at about 30mph.
Was I close?

14.85 @ 98 MPH if you didn't roast the passenger tire. 15.25 @ 96 if tire wenr up in smoke. Good day eh !!!

(Hope to run high 11's without and get into 10's with the HUMOR BUTTON Squeeeeezzed)

Rondteal! LOL That's my favorite answer!! But everyone knows there's no way to kill a Chevy SB short of filling the crankcase with brake lathe filings!!!

I gotta revise my estimate though!!! I remember my partner running 14.1's in his '69 with a dog tired 350 w/.485 lift Crane, Q-Jet, 4spd and 3.08's. So, maybe you ran about 14.25 @ 88MPH???

14.90 @ 97mph

14.90 @ 97mph

Ok the moment you guys have been waiting for! heres all my runs.and id just like to say that before i got there I thought that i was going to be running high 14's like most of you guys said.or maybe mids but not like THIS.
#1 15.3@97 reac. .737 60' 2.8(yes i lit em' up,it was my first run EVER so gimme a break)
#2 15.7@97.3 reac. 1.0 60' 3.26(I think the track was wet because i had NO traction.)
#3 14.1@99.7 reac.845 60' 2.3(I learned that you cannot floor it in first gear without my P7000's goin ablaze
MY BEST RUN
#4 13.8@102!!! Reac.728 60'2.16(I couldnt believe my eyes, AND this is STILL with the fact that sac. speedway doesnt have good traction.) Im just so proud of my 160k motor that i went right home and gave her a oil change. I even used good oil.(it doesnt matter though,itll be black by the next day.heheh.
so ya! nice try everybody but i Told you "its faster than it should be"

Pat,

That's a great time. It just goes to show a car can go very fast with a mild cam!

The one major factor you did not mention was heads. What type of heads are you running?

Eric

He's got port and polished camel hump heads. If you want to take a look at his (and mine, hehe) car go to his website at
http://www.geocities.com/bigblock6668/streets.html

thats sick,,,,,,, i love it makes just about want to keep my 200,000 mile 350 in my truck http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

Pat, nice looking car. Are you sure you still want to go with the 383?

Also, what do you think of the fiberglass trunk lid? I have thought about getting one for my firebird. After all, they are the same cost as a spoiler on its own.

Jon

Jon,
the rear decklid spoiler is from unlimited fiberglass. Out of 10 id give it a 6 because
#1 you have to kinda fabricate a way to get the old latch on.(you have to reuse the latch from your original piece)
#2 It doesnt fit flush in some spots
#3 when its new, on hot days you can REALLY smell the fiberglass. uugh!!
Hers the goods though
#1 It IS as cheap as just the spoiler part for your regular decklid.
#2 Its light as hell(8 lbs)
#3 Its one piece(no gap between lid and spoiler, It looks better to me)

Guy's this is interesting. I have basically the same car as you, but I have a 3.42 rear end. So, I dscided to run your car through the Dragstrip program. Guess what, it gave me a 13.8 ET time with the 2.73 rear end. Gives me a little more faith in these programs.

My guess would be around 13.8 @ 102

Oh, I'm sorry I see you already posted your time...never mind.

Seriously though, that's a great time. A mild cam (210@.050???) with ported heads really makes for a strong running mill.
3020 lbs weight probably helps out too.

Hey, my et guess was the closest for the 1st pass http://www.camaros.net/forum/rolleyes.gif http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

Some of the best running engines I have ever had was high milers like yours...I guess all the loose tolerances really cuts down on the friction in the motor http://www.camaros.net/forum/wink.gif
