I am taking it down to Florida. Going on vacation to Tampa Florida, 1,195 miles from my home here in NY.


So do you think my car can handle that kinda trip? It will be in APRIL so i dont think its going to be 100 degrees in Florida yet.


Will my car handle rought the 3,000 miles i am going to put on it, High speed driving on I-95 for NON-STOP (besides gas, food, etc) overnight 18 hrs to Tampa, Florida?

just asking because of the mileage on the motor

 

If your car seems to be fine on a day to day basis, I would say no problem. If you did a compression/leakdown test and it was good, that would be another GO AHEAD! I personally don't think that is a lot of miles for an LT1, even with a charger. Just don't do a Cannon Ball Run the whole way down there!!
I would just change the oil before the trip, and get your tranny fixed like you said, that would be grueling on the engine, and all should be well. just my thoughts.

 

Your car should make it... Reminds me of the time when we had to get a Cobra tuned for the week, it was a Saturday, spent all day finding a dyno shop that was open for Sunday (had just got the new engine broken-in in the Cobra)... So Sunday morning my friend calls me up "Im almost at your house, get ready, we're heading up north" and we end up driving non stop to Orlando, had to keep it under 3500 rpm, now prior to this the car had been almost completely apart, in fact I installed the radio while my buddy was driving... We ended up stopping at all the service plazas on the Turnpike, running out of the car, checking the lug nuts, lifting the hood to make sure their was no fire, then getting back up to speed (people would just stare)... After the tune, it turned out the the valve guides where never done correctly in the new motor... But we still made it up there and back no problems.

 

Should do fine. I've got a 88 Ford Ranger that has 180,000 miles on it with a small leak around the main seal. I drove it from NC to Wisconsion a 950 mile one way trip. On the way up there I had 2 LT-1's and a T-56 in the bed and on the way back I had a 454 BBC and Ford 9" rear end. I had no problems and ran 75-80 mph most of the way. All this with a 4 cly. truck

 

My 1987 IROC-Z made 17 roundtrips to Florida in the summertime. In all the those trips the only problem encountered was alternator that went bad. If you can deive your car around town why worry about a trip. unless you have no confidence in the car.

 

I hope your all right..

I dont know I just havent had any good luck with Camaros. Hopefully i can get there in one piece hahahaa


Also its got a new alternator, starter, battery and belt.

I guess i will find out in feb/march if i shud take it, i will be driving it every day to work about 25 miles round trip, plus traffic

thanks guys

 

You must have bad luck. I've driven Camaro's (from 69's to 97's) across the country and back without a bit of trouble. Day to day, stop and go traffic, is much harder on your car than a leasurely cruse down the interstate.

 

If you "just put in" all those mods, I would definitely do some local driving to make sure everything is working properly before the trip. I believe the 3.33" blower pulley is the stock pulley, so unless you changed the crank pulley to 7", you're only running 6# of boost.

 

As others have said, an oil change and basic check should do the trick. Only additional I'd look at (other than what you've listed to fix):

Close look at the coolant hoses and clamps. If they've been on more than a couple of years, I'd swap them.

While you're there, I'd change the belt(s) too if they have an few years as well.

A couple of hours and a few dollars worth of insurance = peace of mind and reliable ride.

Yup i changed most of the clamps and the belts (serp, blower)

So pretty much I am good to go. Thanks guys for giving me confidence in my camaro loll

 

now ur scaring me....lol

 

Hey A$$HOLE, where the ***** is my tracking # ?????????

I'm tired of your BS excuses.

 

wow man you got to chill out. I told you i had some work issues. The tracking number is sent to you through a PM

 

LOL, another lie.

You never said that, but I'll add it to your list of excuses.

Yesterday in one of your posts you said it was already sent out and youll send me the tracking number later in the evening, NEVER GOT IT. According to this tracking number you just sent me it wasnt sent out until TODAY, so another lie from you.

 

Good Lord fellas, take it outside!
