i am thinking of racing my 88 camaro... it has a 305 5 spd manual... can anyone give me some websites to get the mods required for the transition....

if anyone knows someone who races one of these please get in contact... IM TALKING ABOUT TRACK RACING NOT DRAG!!!

thanks

 

better place for this is in the organized racing board

 

you could start with a little more detail.

What kinda 305? LG4, L69, L03, LB9, that would help
Any mods?
What gears?
What model year?

 

What do you need to change anything for? Just go sign up for SCCA.

 

More info please.

 

he could only have a l03 or a lb9 . lg4 and l69 where not in preduction in 88 thats asumming he has the stock motor

 

Ya but there is still a big difference between the l03 and the lb9.

 

Auto cross, road course, super speedway?? You need to do a lot of reading. There is no "magical" set-up that covers "track" racing. There are many ways to build and plan your suspension. What are you trying to do with the car?

Best bang for your buck is to get in with Porsche club. YEs i know that is a german little sportscar having nothing to do with Camaros. But Out in California, the riverside region Porsche club of America holds about 6 or 8 autocrosses a year. These guys are better than SCCA because you pay your 50 bucks and you generally get 3 practice sessions ussually 3-4 runs each as well as a 3 competion runs. In SCCA you get your three runs for 40 bucks thank you have nice day. Generally all PCAs will let you in and run as long as you keep your car clean, safe, have a smile and be willing to take the occasional jab about how slow your car will go. Then whop *** on em find out that your car really aint that bad. In fact is better through the autocross then oh lets say, a Porsche Boxster. Yea puts a big smile on your face. Oh yea these porsche guys. Just cuz they have the money to buy em doesn't mean they are complete *******s. They still dig burn outs and the occasional power drift. Its supposed to be fun not work.
