Being a non-political website, probably...

Steve the Liberal, my son had a '96 3800 Firebird, auto, T-tops etc. With a posi, a gear, Stocker slicks and a tune (injectors etc) he had it running 12.50 without taking a valve cover off! Jim

Re: 1996 Camaro Convertible 3.8L Good combo?
Jim I would like to see that tune! We have been messing with one a little bit here. No injectors yet, but some tuning and shorty headers into a open 3" y pipe with about 18" collector, 4.10's and 26" slicks mustered 14.70's 94mph in the heat. I think it could use a converter desperately as it flashes just above idle.

I'm Wondering if it could be built for 10 grand or less.

I think there's one for sale in Louisiana. Might be a Firebird though

Hardly notice it is a high stall converter..with the new stator Design. The Lock-up with the OD makes cruising with 4.56’s easy. |
