"Before the addition of the blown 485, the Chevrolet was pumping out in the neighborhood of 650 rear-wheel-horsepower and tripping the lights in around 11 seconds through the quarter mile."
That's kinda sad performance for modern technology. There is a Buick Stage 2 factory drag car that back in '93 was putting out 650 horses with a carb, iron heads, a iron 2 bolt main block, and doing 10.3s. Weighed a few hundred pounds more too, I'll bet. I helped put the drivetrain in it for its debut at the GS Nationals.
Sounds like the Camaro guys don't know how to tune a suspension.
