[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 7381, member: 2"] That would have been awesome with the 427 and 4-speed. I am trying really hard to resist modding the Vette beyond the basics of increasing power and only want to do things if it also increases the fuel economy. I think the reason why the 350's in the 70's made so little power was that the auto industry kind of got caught with their pants down and were scrambling on making the cars meet emissions/fuel economy standards first, then learning how to make horsepower out of the engines once again. Hooray for computers...sort of. Someone else may be able to help me out on this one. The torque spec on the LM-1 350 that was in my Camaro rated at 285 lb-ft@2400rpm. It went up to 120km/h ok and really gassed out after that. The Vette is much quicker where I don't stress out having to pass cars on a single lane and gets nearly twice the mileage on the highway as the Camaro. Hooray for computers...sort of. Do you ever miss the speed of the Camaro? A mid-9 second time on the track must of been one heck of a rush! [/QUOTE]
