Hey guys

I am thinkin i got the 2.41's in my camino, but when i accelerate about half throttle it is about 2000ish. Now i can rev it up 4 grand easy in nuetral or park but accelerating i never go over 2000 unless i punch it. Now i think this is because my gears but i dont know. Now my acceleration is great for that low of RPM. Just cause its no 3.73 it still scoots! My top rpm was about 3000 cause im not to crazy on it! Havent floored it so got no idea what the top rpm is.

Now on the highway i coast a little under 2500 rpms for my turbo 350, but i can wind it way up on the highway.

Is my carb laggy/ throttle? Or is it my gears? And is this normal for a 2.41?

Thanks guys

Brandon

Bump.....is is a carb issue or is it somehow related to the rear?

Sorry guys. Mine can rev to 6k! I just havent! I didnt know if my gears werent allowing it to wind up on the road much over 4k. My carb is messed up to real bad so that could be a possibility?? I got a 350/TH350 tranny. Dont know what mods?? Just probably a standard 350 someone put in? No headers. Hi-temp performance wires. Also my carb take ls about 10 minutes to warm up so it is usually laggy for about 5 minutes after i put it in drive

I coast about 2400-2450 at 65. I just assume i got the origional due to rpms?

Dont know if o2 sensor is reading or not? I run real rich due to carb? I dont know what all you guys need?

I dont know what mine will wind up to? I dont want to try!!

Doesnt smoke. 82,000 miles, odo has not rolled over.

Mechanic said timings good

I do have 1 or 2 vacuume leaks, yes. They are tiny ones though. One of the lines we found a leak in the line but the line is clogged.

And i have a quad on it. Reving its good but on cold start accelerations it lags.

Okay thanks you are pribably right. With older cars i dont want to damge anything. I think the carb at first may have an effect too? Oh its a swpped 350, no 305 anymore. So the engine it selff could have little or a lot of miles on it? The chassis just has 83,000. It isnt a new 350. Probably a late 80's or 90's truck 350 because its not neccisarrilly a really high hp motor but a high torque motor.

 

[84elcoconquista]

Do you still got the 3.42?? Haha!!!! Its not slugglish! Does just fine. Just got lots of torque. You can tell its a truck motor because the torque it has. Being able to do over a 25 foot peel out (no brake) @1800 rpms.....yeah thats a lot of torque!!! Then again its either LSD or open.

Thanks CCC. I got a broken open rear then. Cause both spin if i really give her gas but primarilly the right wheel spins. My buddy followed me and gave him a little smoke! No burnouts just hit the gas

Okay so it makes sense when i said i dont know that it would get much more than 4000-4500. I also have a stiff throttle. I found that out today.

Thanks again

Brandon

Oh wow! Justdid an acceleration, and i got up to 3000, at a shift.i have my origional tach and it misreads. But i have a little stopper or restraint at 3000 on an acceleration on my old tach. You just push harder and you can redline it on the old tach. I hit that restraint at about 2500-2600 on the new tach. Then pushed through to 3000. Felt like the pedal bottomed out??? But then again i think its that restraint so you dont floor it.

Any of yall heard of that before? a little stop at 25-2600 rpms that you push through?

 

[84elcoconquista]

Yeah i got the ecm. I am currently budgeting for a new qaud and skip white distributer. Will cost around $250

 

[84elcoconquista]

Thats what im getting. If i send in my old carb they will build me a 350 quad for $205 plus shipping.
