Contents: The Crate Camaro (The brand-new Camaro bodies are finally approved, and HOT ROD builds the first all-new ’69 Camaro in 36 years.), The Bodies, The Engine, The Transmission, The Suspension, The Assembly, The Parts List, The Finished Car Feature Story – Bonneville Nationals (The Salt won’t sustain real speed, but the unique fever of Bonneville is still present. Also, saying good-bye to three land speed racing veterans.), Homebuilt Roadster (Part 3 in our saga in building a Factory Five roadster. This month it’s done and we drive the wheels off of it. A 2,200 lb car making 440 hp at the tires adds up to a real rocket anyone can drive brutally fast.), It Makes Children Cry (On the road with Steve Atwell’s brand new, shiny black, Super Stock Dodge.) Hot Rod Garage 0 New Centrifugal Blower (The Rotrex Supercharger takes a new look at centrifuges, replacing the gear driven transmission with a planetary-type friction drive. It’s only available in smallish sizes for now, but bigger blowers are coming.), 740 HP Pump-Gas Pontiac (With 505-ci of Pontiac sucking up 91-octane pump gas, the dyno display showed 740 hp. The other guys are going to scream, but this is the most powerful pump gas Pontiac we’ve ever seen.), Junkyard Jewel 302 Ford (Matt drags a greasy old junkyard 5.0 EFI engine out of a ’91 Mustang GT and sticks it on the dyno at Livernois Motorsports. It baselines at 259 hp, and after adding a cold-air intake, throttle body rockers, and an Edelbrock intake, heads and cam, it grunts out 388 hp.) Departments – Starting Line (Freiburger’s road-ravaged ramblings.), Holeshot (Gas prices suck.), Bench Racing (What we did right, and wrong, at Pump Gas Drags.), Where It All Began (The Turbonique drag axle in action.), Roddin’ at Random (I love the smell of nitro in the dark.), Test and Tune (A K&N FIPK for an ’05 GT.), Pit Stop (Marlan solves your tech problems.), Finish Line (Vintage carnage at Road America.)
