Sorry Andy & Chris, for not responding before now the young bloke has been a major pain in my  :bats: :bats: over the last couple of months so have put this idea on hold :toetapping:. Was looking at something as late but pre 1978 ? That way has fuel injection and more efficient to run, but not as hard to get past EPA ??? Plus the later models aren't fetching as big as dollars as yet and are easy to come by??

Again sozz  :cry: :cry: for not responding before now lads.

Hi Chris, on the subject of economy and fuel injection, we did well over a 1000kms in the Z28 on the Easter weekend Camaro- Firebird Nats. I brimmed the tank in Sydney then brimmed it again 405km later in Tumut and it only took 40 litres. That’s a respectable 10lt per 100km at an average 100-110kmh and fanging it only a few times overtaking. Not bad for a 350 V8 and probably helped by the new extractors, K&N ram air induction kit and your tuning.
Regards to you and Toby, Cheers, Bob.

I ended up clocking over 760 MILES... not as good on the fuel economy though, I figured I got about 12/100, since I took a detour through the snowy mountains run onto Cooma, then through to Sydney. Lost a fair fit of fuel economy getting stuck behind horse floats in the mountains and getting stuck in traffic 3 times on the Highway, thanks to 3 separate accidents, two of which happened only minutes before we got there.

Enjoyed every minute... despite the slow crawl home.

the LS1 with a tune is a great motor and Chris and Toby know their stuff... ;-)
