Hi,
When I purchased my Camaro earlier this year we knew that the original 327 engine had been replaced by a 350. When we took it out we were surprised at the quickness and suspected it wasn't stock.
On further inspection we found that it had performance headers - four into two into one; Edelbrock performer four barrel carb and Edeelbrock RPM manifold. It also sounds like she has a performance cam and possibly a few more internal upgrades because she goes like stink through all the gears!
Having spoken to a few people at a couple of shows we guestimate a bhp figure of around 350-360. Would like to in the future get her on a dyno just for curiosity. It's been such a surprise I just wanted to share 
Katrina.

Yep, it sure is. Did you get the fuel pump sorted on the other Chev?

Yes, Lee, we did get it fixed thanks for asking and we should be bringing them both to the show next Saturday all being well 
Super, look forward to seeing you. I won't have the 'maro this time as its in being repaired after the accident at the NSRA meet, so I'll keep an eye out for you.

I saw the pic's of your car and left a message ont he other thread - real shame. Mark's been out getting the cars ready today. On the way back from a show last week the 57 lost it's passenger side chrome rocker trim which he's gutted about. He's ordered a new one but it won't be here for a while. He also found a petrol leak from the fuel line which he's fixed todaqy and put on new leads so it should be fine for tomorrow.
Hope to see a few of you around,
Katrina.
