Now that the introductions are out of the way we can talk about the good stuff. Michelle had previously brought in her 2012 SS for a 160* thermostat and a set of Kooks long tube headers. Talking about her future plans for her Camaro Michelle mentioned that she would like to supercharge her Camaro so that's what we did!!
Well as most of you may know as you start to push a supercharger harder and harder to reach your horsepower goals belt slip is an ugly side affect. To address this issue I switched the drive system from a 6-rib to an 8-rib system and added a Janetty Racing super tensioner. Now the boost holds steady and we are ready for the next go round.
This Camaro was already an impressive car making great power, but the customer wanted to take the next step. You may ask "what do you add to a L99 Camaro with a 2.3L Maggie Supercharger, Kooks Headers, Kooks 3" Exhaust?" I would say converter, converter, converter!! The addition of a properly speced Yank torque converter completely changes the personality of any automatic transmission car or truck. To do this correctly an auxiliary transmission cooler needs to be added to the vehicle to keep transmission temps in check. While Dave at Yank was building the converter for this Camaro we decided to execute "plan B."
Plan B:
GMPP CNC LS3 Cylinder Heads
Custom "Sam Cam"
DOD Delete Kit
Comp Push rods
Patriot Extreme Valve Springs
ZL1 Fuel Pump
Janetty Racing Super Tensioner
The result was a tire shredding 580rwhp 500rwtq on 7psi of boost and 91 octane. With room to grow!!
