82-92 rs's are either v6 or 305 throttle body injected, slow poo. 93 and up rs's are all v6, you'll win either way. The only 82-92 camaro you'll have to worry about are the 350 tpi's.

I have 88 iroc 305 tpi auto, it will hang right next and pull some late 80's 5.0's with autos but usually loses to a manual. Like I have said before, the 80's camaros were quick for their day but are quite outdated powerwise now.

What year rs? My girlfriend had a 2002 v6 camaro for a while and it ran pretty good. You should have a lot more torque so you'll be fine

I had an 88 Camaro and a 91 Firebird. Both of them were tbi 305's. Trust me they were embarassing slow. heheh... I've driven a few tuned port 305s and they ran a little better but nothing to get excited about. The 350 tuned port ran pretty good but good Lord it should! hehe.. It's a friggin 350! Your 302 stang should beat those RS guys with no problem. I remember back in high school when the 5.0's would always be spanking the Camaro and Firebird guys and they would get mad. heheh... just race them dude. They won't wanna race you anymore.

the 305's are VERY slow, and teh 350's arnt that much better when they are stock.

the TPI falls on it's face after 5,000 rpms. I dont think you will have a problem at all
