the only thing i've changed on it is the front grill insert, it matches the pin stripes now. that thing was freakin expensive 400 bucks to get painted! I'll try and post pics of it how it sits now later, with the motor and NOS! so far the best street tires with best hookup i've found are Yokohama S drives. falcons suck.

Okay figure this, if it pulled 10's on a dyno which for obvious reasons will read lower results and it was spinning (on the dyno) then why would i have problems at a track pulling 10's with slicks and no traction problems? I am not going to post dyno graphs because they look horrible because of my tranny slipping so bad the tq numbers go way up then fall to almost 0 then go way up again so it looks like my tune is horrendous. So that beign said i will not post dyno graphs. And again because im on my work computer that would be impossible.
As of right now all you've done is some bench racing and big talk.
Oh, and posted pics of a pretty looking Camaro. One that doesn't look much different from the other half dozen modded Camaros I pass on my way to work every summer morning.
And speaking of pics, you talk all about your "built 347" but no pics of the motor?
Weird.
Unless you can show proof of whatcha got, its gonna be just talk. And even if you do come up with pics, its still a Camaro, they are a dime a dozen. My ex roommate is stuffing an aluminum block 427 into his 97 Z28.
My dad has a 489 stuffed into his '68 convertible.

yeah grill inserts are expensive! I just pulled my factory insert out and i am going to make a grill for mine lol
Just cuz "you pull 10s on a dyno" doesn't mean that you can drive on a track. Plain and simple. Go to a track and get a real time slip, then maybe I won't be so skeptical.

Dude check the video in the second post. The motor looks stock, just painted my valve covers black to match my intake and the heads are polished... Other than that its just a tangle of wires. And how could i not drive at the track? Its an auto... Launch easy, pedal to floor, wait for the polls... Not that hard...

Your Camaro's exterior is cute. Thats all that has been proven.
And now I'm done with the thread. Je4reyk is right, this is gone way off topic.

My '98 XJ has 4,356 RWHP. It does wheel stands to the 60' line and runs 4.90 et's. I could probably get it in the 3's, but the 'chutes keep ripping my back bumper off if I go any faster. I'm waiting on Joe Amato to bring some beers over now...

Squashed!
Now about this HP thing, You dont want hp you want tq, things that can raise your tq numbers are header, intake, exhaust, a nice tune up and some gears should get you more than enough for what you want sir. :]

HP is torque at RPM, You can make more power by making more torque or rev-ing higher, either-or
bolts on only do so much for the 4.0L, aka not alot, eventually the motor needs boost or displacement to make more
