They switched to a speed density system in 1990 and got more power. 245hp and 345 tq was the rating from then on.
You are not showing the stats from a 1990-1992 car and or they are incorrect. (as far as hp/tq....15.2 could happen...a 16 could happen...its driver/conditions)

245hp/345tq
Some more tests and specs

(245 hp/345tq...97.7 trap speed. decent 14.7)
http://www.prophetsofmadness.com/iro...endofanera.htm
(14.4 @ 97.8 mph) 245hp/345 tq
Enough proof of the 14.4 and ~98 mph trap speed like I said in the first place?
I guess that was the best run of all time for the car. First time in history it has happened. But that was the best run ever right their. They must have been at Perfect DA in 50 degree weather with the wind behind them and a factory ringer (and with Evan Smiths dad BTW)...they could never have gone any faster than 14.4.
Ive hijacked this thread enough...Im out. |
Thanks for calling me a lair on not owning the firehawk. I know the car very well thank you and have owned it for six years. It never ran for me anyhow what it was suppose to, that's why I sold it. As far as the spec I produce being wrong ,they are not. They are for a 1992 trans am not a Camaro. Camaro did have 245Hp in 1992. Look back at the very link you posted to the thirdgen and you will see what I'm taking about. That fact remains that no TPI ,other than the firehawk, which is slp, which means it's not solely stock,could ever run a 13.9. Your 5hp gain in the 1992 camaro over the trans am isn't going to get you a 1.3 sec quicker the 1/4mile.
