Opening up an old thread, but I’m back at the bucket list of 200mph.
The former 850rwhp ZL1 went with my son when he moved to Idaho last week but not before he was able to eke out 169.72mph at the gila bend 1/2 mile.
And since it’s my 69th bday in a few weeks I picked up a 69 Camaro with a 540 bbc in it and we’re in the process of freshening it up along with massaging the heads and a new cam to shoot for 725-750hp with the plans to add a 200 shot of nitrous….
And then I recently saw the new Harrop bbc sc that should push us to 900whp without any nitrous and be a whole lot safer in the 1/2 to 1 mile races, so I think we’re gonna go that direction and yes, this car will have a roll bar along with th400 and a gear vendors and gearing somewhere in the 3.55 neighborhood with 28” tires.
Well after some quick calculations it appears I’d neeed 3.23 gears to hit 200mph so maybe a quick change rear end?
Any suggestions, throw em at me.
