As time moves forward and the Camaro draws near - there's been heavy talk of a 260 - 280 base V6.

I'm thinking it will be quicker than my LT1 at that point.

How do you feel about that?

I know........the 4th gen V6 (either the 3.4 or 3.8) was faster than the 1982-83 Z28's.

I guess history may very well repeat itself.

I'm not too happy about it is all.

 

heck I have scared a few lt1s

 

Doubt it. YES, teh new 3900 V6's will be FAST, but NO, I don't think they will take a LT1

 

peg leg FTL.

 

Wow... thats awesome times man... mid 14's no mods eh?
NICE

 

hell no it wont be

 

I'd personally like to see a timeslip on that one myself. Share you're secrets man!

Q: Did you do it just once? (a lot of people seem to think it’s a freak run, or timer error)
A: Of course I did it only once, how often have you ever hit the same time in a row twice. I have hit lots of 14.5s, 14.6s, but I took a big hiatus from racing after I developed a clutch problem that only affected me while racing I fixed it and ran a 14.5@94 like a week ago, 1/22/05

Q: Were you factory stock?
A: No, I did free mods, but everything I do can be reversed and I can go from factory stock and getting warranty work done at a dealership, in ~30 min. Less then 2 min, if the exhaust is already unhooked.

How did you do it?
A: I just did free mods. I didn’t spend one cent, just used 1 flathead screwdriver, and a socket wrench with 2 sockets(1/2 in, and 15mm)

Free Mods when I ran the 14.4…
-removed Jack/spare
-Unhooked exhaust(at the factory point after the CAT and S-pipe, near the front of the Driveshaft)
-Unhooked Intake(open Throttle Body)
-Descreened MAF
-Unhooked Drivebelt
-Factory tires(Eagle GA, 235/55/16) with 35,000ish miles on them

Q: Is your car a lightweight or factory freak?
A: sort of, it has most options, monsoon, power everything, etc, I weighed it in without jack spare and low gas at 3270 which is pretty good, but with my ~300 lbs, 6’5” body in it, puts me ~3570 Race weight.

As for Factory freak? Don’t know, first time I ever ran it ran 15.8s when it was my dad’s I bought it off him a few years later and ran 15.2s paperfilter stock. Another thing to consider a lot of people thought my 94 3.4L was considered a “factory freak” what are the odds I got 2 in a row?

 

my friend got a 1995 camaro 3.4 do u have any tips for him to get his faster on a low budget

 

I ran a started at a 16.8 stock, then cut down to 15.4, with a homemade intake, a $20 muffler off the y-pipe(no CAT) and a 3.42 rear.

but most of the time increase was a crapload of practice at the track.

to be honest 3.4L is a rough platform, it has a worse aftermarket then the 3.8L and when you get into big mods there is near zero tuning avalible.

 

the hi-po version will give the LT1s one hell of a run

 

I bet a DI 3.6 is going to be around 300hp. Tq is where it won't own a LT1

 

drop it off a cliff

 

3.9L Camaro won't beat an LT1, but a DI 300HP 3.6L will put up a damn good fight. More HP, but less torque. Although the LT1 will take to mods like CAI and exhust better.

 

I ain't scared
