Yes, your correct. Mines bored 0.030 over now, so its a 306, as in my sig. But when i got it, it was still a 302, thats what i was refering to, a stock 5.0 engine is a roller block 302. Any 302 above 1985 is a roller block.

Depending on what year camaro, if its an old 80's body style with a 305 in it, you should be able to spank him in an 88, just practice alot more. Go to the strip everytime you get a chance and run it. You'll get much better, practice makes perfect.


The 87-93 Mustangs were much faster than the Camaro's out at the time. It shouldnt be to much of a problem to eat his *** alive in a 1/4 race.

o, ok thanks i'm going to bore mine over .030 thousand too anyways..lol

I wouldnt bore it unless you absbolutely need it, there is no point, it adds no hp and it shortens the block life.

I manged to whittle my 60 foot time down from 2.4ish to 2.2 then to 2.0. My best run thus far grabbed a 1.9. You really don't need to launch like you may think... not stock like this. Just have your foot a little on the gas pedal so it's at like 1500-1600. When that tree starts to fall, start letting off the clutch and don't really get on the gas for a sec... it will bog just a tiny bit, then once the car starts to move about 5 feet forward, nail it... you'll already have the clutch out, so it shouldn't spin the tires too bad

^^^dude, thanks alot, thats exactly what i was looking for, some kind of advice like that. im going back friday night too. ill be sure to try it.

and as far as the camaro... its an 88 iroc 350. he ran a 15.2... as far as i understand i should be able to pull a 15.2 right? whats a stock 88 stang suposed to run? i heard 14.8-15.4...is that about right? i think 14.8 is stretching it tho...

^ What track? I will be at Capitol tomorrow night. You must be dumping the clutch at the line... ? Launch at a lower RPM, and ease the clutch out, SLOWLY giving it more gas... By now you should be rolling, so you can fully release the clutch. You can burn your clutch up pretty good if you give it 'TOO MUCH' gas, while letting the clutch out. Practice is your friend...

o, ill was at and will be going to cecil. yea i was basically dumping the clutch at the line, hopefully the weather holds out and i can go tomorrow and try out what you guys have said and see how it goes. does anyone else by chance go to cecil?

Sticky tires will do wonders. Some gears too.
