Almost. I ran a David Nickens 347 (4.125 x 3.150) in C/Altered. Shift at 9200 cross stripe at 9300.

NHRA, would have to change the rules for the COPO to run stock, according to stock rules no coil-over shock`s on rear. Tom

Weird that it shows both Stock motors with Aluminum blocks and the one Super Stock Combo with a Cast Iron Block lol. Maybe a typo...... : )

The 5.3l SS engine is built the Iron LSX block to handle all the boost that 4.0l supercharger will be making at 10k!

So if and when Cheby builds them, will they have to build 100 total cars?
50 for Stock
50 for Super Stock since the one engine is fo SS/S only? Or will NHRA look the other way for Marketing $$$$$$$$?

If, when, maybe, could be, should......whatever.

Just build the damn thing and put your car where your mouth is chebby! The GM fanboys are slobbering all over themselves. "I heard it will be 900hp and rated at 200...no, no, I heard 1000hp and rated at 100"

Talk is cheap.

Talk with pictures is still talk until one is in somebody's hands.

Since obama motors builds stuff by committee (kinda like a camel is a horse made by a committee) it's no wonder it was built with coils in the rear. Now somebody will go "whaaaat, NO rear coils??" Question is, will it be modified or will nhra bow to them with the $$$?

At least they're trying I guess.

I have been using the original LS7 in the 68 camaro for bracket racing for the last year or so. The engine is carbed, all else stock except for a .640 lift hydralic cam. To give you an example of performance, the engine dynoed at 670 hp at 6800 rpm. Car runs 6.0's at 112 in 1/8 mile in good air. One of the biggest factors is that the all aluminum engine takes a lot of weight off the front end of the car..

Every new Camaro built has coil-over rear shocks.

Gump, That rear end assembly does not look anything like the rear end in the COPO. Tom

Re: COPO Latest News
 
If the production car comes with coil overs, the COPO should be allowed them, right?
Doesn't really matter to me. I would have to dip into my retirement money to buy one.

Re: COPO Latest News
 
All it has to have are the stock spring and shock mount locations, as per the rules!

Didn't you all go through this with the Drag Pak and Cobra Jet Cars?

When replacing an IRS with a straight axle the point becomes moot

Yep. If the COPO comes that way, that's all that matters. Ditto Powerglides & 9" rear ends in all three brands.

What's your point? I was answering your statement about coil-overs. The car came with a coil-over so a coil-over is legal.
