Factory-stock cars are cool if you’re a resto freak, but how can anyone resist the temptation to bolt on a few go-fast goodies on to their street machines? As usual, we got the urge for horsepower, but this time we found our grubby hands pawing on someone else’s perfectly clean ’67 Camaro RS. The owner, Terry McGean of Hot Rod, calls it a nice concours- potential car...uh, yeah—we call it the perfect candidate for an intake and carb swap. Our intentions were to turn back the clock and do what any average gearhead would have done for a ’60s boulevard brawler: No fancy nitrous systems, nothing to undermine driveability, and most of all—it had to show a big gain without a big monetary outlay. To do this we dialed up the CSK Speed Shop and ordered a Weiand Action Plus manifold (PN 8004) and a new Holley 670-cfm Avenger carb (PN 0-80670) to get the results we’re about to amaze you with. And the best part: It was all done under $500!
