I didn't say i could still drive, i said id do it for free. I've had a few of those big motors, so I know they will hurt you. I hate to admit it, but that's why I'm driving a little lt1 now. ill let you and pro70 break your necks. if i got to do it freebiosity I take it back anyway . ant doing that.

I pulled out on the st. behind my shop in Richmond late one night, had just put 2 new carb. on my blown 454 el comina, just testing some things and there was cars lined up on both sides of the st. so it wasn't room enough to get up any speed much, but I had to try it. when i went WOT the accel. hung wide open to my surprise, so there I was 600 HP, hung WOT carbs. on a narrow st. smoking the tires off and flying up the st., and didn't know what to do, but i had sense enough to cut the key off(and not lock the steering wheel) before I killed some one, and as soon as i stopped the accel. was not hung any more. so i went back to the shop and changed the angle of the carb. springs and made them a little tighter and like a dumb ass went back to the same spot and did the same thing again. couldn't believe it. that's when I found out if the carb. springs is not stiff enough and pulling at the proper angle a blower will pull the carb. WO when you get the accel. to about 50%. so pro put EFI on it and you want have to worry about that. the springs would have worked fine on just a 2 carb. set-up.

I'm gettin' a mental picture of U dloin' that.... HEHEHE...........

Problee' wasn't so funny @ the time tho HUH???

Dang Mike!!! Sure as heck wish someone would have been there with a video camera, I would certainly have bought a copy of that!!!!! Kinda like it was so dang scary, you just had to try it again???? Yup, I can relate.....

i assure you that was not the case. if i had of lost it, i dont know how much damage it would have done before it stopped. i could write a book about me and my blowers. it will break that camero in half pro and keep on going. have you drove anything that has 1/2 the power of what you got there pro? it is a big block right? it will get your attention quick.

Yea, I have. 1/2 the power is purdy' close. My old 40 Chevy Panel Truck had a 600 H.P. 454. It weighed about 3200 lbs. I have a feeling the camaro won't be anything like the panel tho. HEHEHE I'll be sure to buy a box of depends B4 the maiden voyage.

Going .............. Going ...............

GONE............ HEHEHEHE

you need more like a commode for the drivers seat.

i dont belive there will be any compairson there. might but i dont think so.

Horsepower to weight is simple physics. Hi horsepower to very light weight is wicked, wicked FUN !!!!! Granted, this was a couple decades back, but our last sprinter was 1,560 lbs and 682 (dyno'd) horsepower. It was a blast!! To have that same horsepower to weight ratio on the street is almost obscene!!!! (But then a lot of the things I like are either obscene or illegal)

did you say obscene or illegal? thats that? in my case its to sweet or to much salt. ive got over the rest of that stuff.

I talked to a guy a while back that went from 500 h.p. to 800 h.p. He said he couldn't believe the difference. It's been so many years since I drove that panel truck, I've purdy' much forgot how fast it was. I do remember you best have it pointed str8 B4 you punch it or it would B sidways B4 U got your foot back out of it.
