I have never posted pics so ill try it now. These are sum pics of my '85 camaro.

 

heres another...

 

tell me what you guys think and feel free to ask questions.

 

Well, by the looks of the sig. the car is producing enough power, so the scoop was needed. Due to the situation at hand, I give it a Why? Because there isn't a smiley for 2.
I wanted a scoop, but my car doesn't have the ***** to back it up.

 

like, have any small children, birds, or sheep gotten sucked into that monster scoop ? lol jk if ur pumping that much hp then hell yea go for it

 

The scoop was needed when i tryed to close the hood with no aircleener and the carb hit At the time i had no idea what to do so i just choped a hole in the hood big enough for a 14" air cleener. I found this company called Unlimited and they sold these things so for $170 my prob was solved. Oh yea this is the reson for the scoop.....

 

Well, that's no good reason for a scoop...just an air filter. I figured there was a supercharger under there. Now that I found this out, I say take it off or supercharge that beast.

 

The air cleaner isnt the prob the intake manafold is. It is a holly strip dominator and is way too high. Without the aircleaner on the carb hit the hood. I figured if i had to put some kind of scoop on i should get a big air cleaner too. As for the supercharger... it wouldnt work. I am running 11.5-1 pistons and this makes a supercharger allmost usless because i couldnt run it with any boost.

 

Welcome to the club. Your scoop looks way better than mine though. I was hitting my 750 on top of a Performer RPM on my bird. That's just no good. I cheaped out even more than you, my A&A Jegs special was only $50. LOL

Are you going to make a pan and seal it? That's my next step. I can't quite back up the power like you yet. I have the cam and carb to do it, but not the heads or intake. The intake that I have now was free, and I already have a port job for heads going this winter. After $150 I should be right up there. Oh well enough about me. When are you going to get the car sprayed?

 

Here's mine.

 

Hopefully ill get some paint on that beast before december, I still have to weld new bottom door edges on and shave the handles I was thinking about a pan to seal the scoop to the carb but im not sure i want to do that.

 

Just do it when you want to cruise and then plug the scoop and run a standard filter when it rains/sits (hopefully it never rains on that car). Do you have problems seeing the road making rights too?

 

I have a plug for the scoop that came with it. I use it when it rains. The reson I dont want a pan is it makes more under hood heat and i like things cool.

About the vision thing... It becomes a pain in the *** when you are on a busy street and a lot of people are crossing you cant see them unless you put your head on the passengers lap. When making right turns I cant see to good either so i just close my eyes and hope for the best jk.

Why do you hope it never rains on my car? Its water proof and the T-tops dont leak.
