The Purple Camaro

[Capt Ron]

I feel that.
I did 275/60 15 on a 7" rim.
On the back currently but will probably move to front and try to find something a bit taller for the rear.

Pretty crowned?

 

[Capt Ron]

Not as much as I was expecting. Beads sure seated easy though, go figure.
Hoping to put the new transmission in soon so I can actually drive the damn thing and see how they feel.

I’ve been letting the smoke out of the old bfgs, not entirely on purpose

 

[Bent77]

Little better

Observations

1. Tires need to be wider
2. Speedometer is dead nuts at 100
3. It’ll turn at least 6300 now
4. Needs like 200 more HP
5. Needs 5.13s

Number 4 is solved with nitrous.

I've dabbled with the concept...

What’s your ring gaps though

Tight enough to blow its brains out

75 shot would still be safe...

He was trying to convince me to put a 100 shot on the Fugly Duckling.

 

[Fastereddie]

I can only vouch for a 50 shot. I had that on a single fogger nozzle in the throttle body on my old turbo probe. It felt like downshifting a gear. Also cooled the intake air!

 

[beags86]

Any Healthy V8 can take a 100 shot.
A Healthy small block with proper/ timing adjustment, plugs, good fuel, and proper bottle pressure can take a 125/150 shot all day with out worrying about all that other suff.

Freiburger hit that stock 305 with a 300 shot before he smoked it.

 

[tRustyK5]

300 shot, in ideal conditions on a dyno. Not a chance you'd get that close to a 300 shot in the real world, in a car, at a track...

Agree a 100 shot is pretty safe though.

I ran 255's on 7" Z28 wheels regularly twenty years ago. They fit nicely.

They look good on that rim. Little bit of side wall bulge, but a good look

 

[ZooMad75]

Practicing stuffing the slicks behind the front seats? Betcha look like a monkey humping a door knob trying to get them back there.

It was also a stock 305.
The more HP a engine starts with allows it huff more of the laughing gas.
A 200 shot on a 250hp 350 isn't the same as a 200 shot on a 500hp 350.
Same can be said about about cubes.
A 300 shot on 305 is pretty wicked. But a 300 shot on a 632 isn't really as big of a deal.

Honestly for the return of nitrous. For cars like this. And cars like yours Rene. Really no reason NOT to have a blue bottle in the trunk.
It's easy, cheap, fun, and no it's not cheating.

I am quietly building a olds 455 for my olds g body and that's going to have a old plate system I had on it years ago. Simply because I have it and no other reason, well you know

 

[centexk5]

Thought it was more CI it starts with and not HP?
