You're correct, I do have another engine ready to go in the Camaro. I just recently made the decision to use the Talon engine that is tried and true. The new engine is made more for upper high rpm and will not be as fuel efficient.
The Talon engine in the Camaro should be able to run high 8's in the 1/4 mile pretty easy and should be able to get better fuel milage based on its better aero vs the Talon. Don't get me wrong the Talon has good aero at .29 Cd but the AWD part hurts the Talon a bit.
The main reason I'm getting rid of the Talon it is taking a toll on me trying to work on two highly modified cars. This and I don't have the room for this many projects. The Talon also has drivetrain issues when turned up. Transmission, transfer case, and drive axles are always breaking. Plus, the Camaro will be 100 times easier to work on and make changes on.
The Camaro won't be driven in the winter months but will drive the wheels off it during the warmer months.
