Re: POST PICS OF YOUR NON GFX 3RD GENS

Camaros with no ground effects have grown on me. I've always said that if i got another one I'd go for a sleeper look with no GFX and a sport coupe hood.

Re: Strangest engine and transmission combination seen in a thirdgen?

Did he have to do a lot of fabbing to fit it in lengthwise?



In my third gen performance book they show a big block shoehorned in ther.



Gm dabbled with the idea of a turbo 4.3 too.

Re: How to get better mpg's

you have a 305 or 350 now? if you do and you plan on swapping it out i wouldn't bother with headers and a y pipe, just get a cat back that you can reuse. Hooker and Magnaflow seem to be decent.

Biggest thing is don't floor it, you don't need to be the first person across the intersection.

Make sure everything is tuned up, its running well.
