HOT DAMN! Add 325hp and pull .95 latteral G's for under $3000!
First off let me say i'm flat out AMAZED!
Yesterday I went to the store to get some soap, medicine ect and I saw the magazine rack. **** was getting boring so I grabbed a copy of Chevy High Performance. It had some stuff on hooking so i grabbed it.
As i'm flipping though it I see "Extreme Squeeze" (march 2003, pg 60)
They grab this junkyard 350 from 1975 which was never rebuilt and see how much juice it can take. They change the headgasket, carb, ignition, top end (new oem stuff) & intake manifold.
They end up shooting 325hp and it held up fine! It actually gained 15hp NA
Then they sprayed a 425 shot at too low of an rpm (morons!) and a ring land went. Had they not it probobly would have handled it
.
On the 325 shot they made 599hp and 655ft/lbs!!!!!!!!
DAMN!
I said it before, and I'll say it again-
150hp shots are nothing for stock motors!
Now for the .95 g's-
this was on a 3rd gen but anyway-
same issue- pg 42
"ground gripping"
91 camaro
thicker Z28 sway bars (1 7/16ths) in the front and a .904 hotchkis rear sway bar along with a hotchkis sub frame connectors and a set of lowering springs with BFG 275/40/17 tires.
.95g's
67mpg salom
just to compare (I hate to say this)
99 vette-
.91 g's
61mph
sure at the end of the day he has a vette, but that camaro must really STICK!

i doubt it had forged pistons. Compression was low though. ~8.5:1. That helps a little.

I thought that low compression was for forced induction not nitrous. High compression is fine for nitrous.

lower compression = lower cylander pressure
turbo/blowr shoot high pressure air in like nitrous
someone posted the online article to this. it's still ****in awesome though. 325 shot on a stock motor. quite amazing. let's see how it holds up pulling a car though....
Too bad they ruined a perfectly good block though. I remember they said at first they had some hardache about that, but got over it

Nitrous does not "shoot high pressure air in".
It add's more oxygen to the combustion process,which in turn with more fuel raises cylinder pressures.
Low compression and nitrous is a myth. Most fast guys run more compression with nitrous.
