Talking CAMARO IS BACK!!!!

well i just picked it up from my friends dads tranny shop in hackensack, i duno what he did (he wasnt there when i picked it up) but i have 3rd and 4th gear again and my dad said something about a corvette shift kit? lol. anyway my TPI swap is now complete for the most part after about year, then the rear blew and then immidiatly the the trans lost 3rd n 4th, so i owe my dad about 3 grand but the car works and is going back into daily driver mode, the mustang can sleep for now i gotta wash/wax it very badly as it has just sat outside for over a year now and remove the rest of my stripes and do a few odds and ends and itll be back to show car status lol

i wanna get it to the track this year and see what it runs with the trans all better and TPI, headers n exhuast and all the free TPI mods what you guys think itll pull?

305 TPI conversion
headman headers
hooker catback
magnaflow hiflow cat
373 posi rear
shift kit
free TPI mods (gutted air box, TB bypass.....)

it ran a 16.7 with the TBI and 373's and a trans that wouldnt shift into 3rd for ****

how bout now, i would like to get into the 14's some day lol

ok i got the specs and had my dad foot the bill for now (i owe him lots of money)

remanufactured 700R4 trans and converter with a corvette servo and a shift kit, it owns

i paid 1250 total, i think thats pretty good, Pat Barret Transmissions quoted me at 1200 for a normal rebuild
