GM is bringing back the GTO next year. Its a 5.7 liter
V8, imported from Australia. The Impala SS is rumored to return,
but I'd bet that its with a super/turbo charged V6. Probably too
expensive to retro fit a V8 in the current chassis.
For Sure - They are
bringing back a Silverado SS next fall, but i don't have a clue as to power.
Probably LS1 camaro/fbird variation. After all they wont have any Z28s
to put the LS1 into.

Yo:
I am a chevy guy and have 3 classic chevys.
But, what is going on with Chevy and Muscle cars ?
I just read that Ford
is coming out this year with a new retro Ford Mustang Mach I with 300
Horsepower. This follows the Ford Mustang Bullitt, and the Ford
Thunderbird.
Chevy discontinued the Camaro. The GTO may come back.
So,
anyone know what is Chevy doing to compete with Ford who appears to be uping
the ante ?
Thanks,
Big Ken

Rob,
Thanks for your input. I like the goin' fishin' analogy. Thanks for
the
tip on jetting. The Holley manual for that carb suggests jetting down
1
step for every 2000 ft. but it sounds like that might not be the way to
go.
If I do try that and get a stumble I'll know what's going on. Looks
like I
just need to play. Wish I was rich, the chassis dyno I mentioned
in earlier
posts can be rented for $600 per day. That would be a great
way to quantify
any changes besides seat of the pants.
Thanks
again,
