Take out the 2.8 and put in a bigger motor. No matter what you take off or out of the car you will still have a a slow car.[sm=chairshot.gif]

Gutting the interior and changing the rims won't give you more hp. I'd go with the IROC rims anyway, since they give you alot more rubber, and more rubber means more grip. Don't bother with the 2.8, though, waste of your time.

He's right, it doesn't give you more horsepower, but it frees it up. It doesn't have the same rotational inertia.

In my opinion v-6's should never have gone into camaro's. So I would just junk 2.8 and drop in a carburetored 350.
