Which is still less than what the LS1 motors make stock.
Gearing will get you out of the hole, but an overwhelming amount of horsepower and torque in any other cars favor will slingshot them past you after 330'.
I have 3.27 gears in my car and it will still 1.5 60' on the motor.

Full cam. You are right prob about 350 horse. Had a street/strip ignition, fiberglass fan..
Exactly right, I would jump most anyone, factory gears are 386 (is it?) then 411 then 456 which are unheard of. But I have a nutty mechanic friend who siad go for it.
But not really that much horse by todays standards and I would prob get beat alot through mid and top end today.
This was my first Camaro and the year was 1975 ish. I lost my license twice as a teen. One Friday night I tore ass out of a dancehall cause a buddy may have had some shit on him (many years ago) lol, and basicly out ran a posse. We went to a town and ditched one block over and the posse drove by.
Coming Monday a big ole Sherrif knocked on my Apt 40 miles a way. Only so many of those cars in the state.
He says, "why did you run."
"Duh, I dont know."
"We just wanted to tell you to park it."
Ah fuck stories I could tell.
New cars dont come with stories.
