If you wanna run 9.80s -9.90s on motor taking out guess work ( R@D) in your year camaro here it is.. This may sound like a lot of money up front but in the big picture its not....here it is.
A PAR built standard deck 565ci with 3x oval port heads..makes 1200 hp and 1000 TQ and will live forever with regular minimum maintenance. Scott Duggins takes in these 565's he has built for people trading up to larger Ci...I have seen him turn them back out fresh for $8,500..you just gotta catch it. These 565ci IMO is the best engine lb for lb..
Tubular Cross member with a good 400 turbo tranny and you got you
something that will get in the 9's without much of a diet...
I know some can't expense it all up front but it would be a great package to save for.
Damn $8500!!! That's cheap for that engine. I had between 10-11k in my 540 that I assembled myself from a jegs catalog basically and it didn't make nowhere close to 1200hp. I understand that's a reconditioned one but still beats building your own in your garage.
