slow acceleration

I own a 1983 305 camaro with an auto transmission in it. It is very slow off the line. I was wondering if there was anything that's cheap and easy to do to it to help it accelerate faster.

drive down a big hill??

nothings really cheap and easy now adays.. How does the car run? poor tune-up will make a big difference in acceleration..
other than that, start with the basics, get an air intake and a decent exhaust system..

i recently had a tune up done. it's got a flowmaster exhaust on it, is that decent enough? would a holley fuel pump give it a little more get up and go? it sounds as though it's starved for gas when the 4-barrel kicks in

nope, that engine only made like 140 stock. (or somewhere around that number)

a gear change would do wonders, and maybe a stall converter. but it's not exactly cheap

the LG4 made 165 hp stock, but that has little to do with his launch, because the engine made 240 ft lb of TQ. Sounds like you have a problem somewhere along the line, check your fuel lines, fuel filter, change the fuel pump and so on.

also, it hesitates a little when taking off. I took it to a mechanic, and he said that it was just the edelbrock carb on it. is that true, that edelbrock carbs have a tendency to hesitate, or does the mechanic not know what he's talking about? it's got a new fuel pump and fuel filter on it.

Rebuild it. .§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§REFUSE TO LOSE§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Any carb thats in good working condition should run fine. Maybe yours could use a rebuild.

As far as upgrading the car goes though, a change in rearend gears would help and a stall converter wouldnt hurt too. Those 3.08 gears arent much for taking off.

would the stall converter and new rearend be simple to install, or would i need to take them in? i don't know too much about cars

a rear end rebuild is something you'd probly want done proffesionally. but a torque converter swap is something you can do yourself. probly take ya 5 or 6 hours, and there's not much ya can screw up

about how much would it run to get it done? do you know any good sites where i can check 'em out?
