  • What is the top speed froma 3.4L 1985 Camaro?

    hey everyone, out of pure curiosity what is the top speed floored of a 1985 Camaro with i believe a from factory upgraded transmission, with a 3.4L engine? I know the speedmeter only goes up to 85 MPH because the government was trying to cut down on speeding in the 1980's but 85 is just silly so what numbers can i expect? Also what are some peoples best speeds from stock 3rd gen 'maros or birds¿

    85's had 3.4's?

    Well, in mine, I'm pretty sure the top speed is 108 or 118......one of those.......

      the 3.8s dont have TOO much trouble getting up to 120, but thats when the speed limiter kicks in. I'd like to know from someone who has a chip I've got it up to 130 going downhill, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                Hey, I know somone that had a 3.4 in their 85 car too, caint seem to remeber the name though :( [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img] .

                Going oFF the speedo, you're limited to 85mph ;) , I think the stock limiter is 110mph.

                    When i had my 88 2.8, i had it pegging the end of the speedometer(downhill with god pushing)...i guess it didn't have a speedlimiter..but on the 3.4l, it is 118mph i believe.
