Thanks to Dave P my gears in the Camaro were switched from 3:31's to 3:73's. Took it out yesterday and I think I may need new rear tires!! The difference in the low end power was just what I was looking for. Easily brakes the rear tires free with my mild 327.

Had some clicking noise which I thought was coming from the passenger side wheel but found it was coming from the rear of my transmission where the drive line slid in. But after I lowers it off the jack stands it went away, so no noise!

Now all I need is to replace my edelbrock 650 Carb with a Holley 600 DP; if anyone knows of one for sale or trade let me or Kevin know!

Congrats on the new gearing and successful test drive!:thumbsup:

Cool, glad they work for you. It was probably the u-joint being at a different angle, while on jackstands. Check both u-joints, just to be safe.

i think ericw has a 650dp just rebuilt that he'd sell. He figured out he needed a bigger carb for his motor after his improvements.

I would go 650DP over a 600DP....leaves you room for growth.

It already did if he went to 3.73s

I think your right on the angle, it was clicking while driving and then came home and lifted it onto the jack stands and found the noise coming from the rear of the tranny. checked the u-joints to ensure they were tight (they were) lowered the car and drove it again but no more clicking noise.

Thanks will have to talk with Eric! Wouldnt the 600dp create better low end torque vice the 650 with the 327.

It's a 327...wind it up!:thumbsup:

If you want torque... spray it!

Seriously, I think a 650 double pumper would work just fine on a 327.:yes:

Mike,

You kinda gave up the economic thing by going 3.73s.....
Support the engine with the 650DP, don't look back

I went from 3:23's to 3:73's on my Camaro and wound up putting Nitto 555 drag radials. The gear/tire combo was the biggest performance improvement I did for my car.

Got a guy at work to loan me a 570 street avenger and a 600 Holley DP to test on my car! SWEET. He said I will like the street avenger most, he took off a 650 edelbrock like mine and put that on and said it made a huge difference.

Below is acouple pics of the 68 next to a 2010 Camaro that I took today

Very cool:thumbsup:

You know with that convertible top you might be able to get kicked off the track before kevin gets to be.

I think his car right now will run 14.5's

 

[Dave]

Looks nice, but I'll stick to the old one.:yes:

14.5, with a 300 shot, you could beat kevin with that.


No more clicky clicky?
