Updates to the site are done when time allows, usually not very often. We currently offer no services to the general public, so please do not ask. We will gladly help you out with information if we can as time allows.
In the Camaro Build Pages, we've outline what we did to build a 1000 HP pump gas small-block Camaro. The engine made 1041 rear wheel horsepower on 93 octane and 12 psi of boost. The best dyno run to date is 1279 rear wheel horsepower on 100 octane unleaded race gas with 100 HP shot of nitrous and 18 psi of boost. It have very good street manners and is really fun to drive on the street. Best run to date is an 1/8 mile pass, 5.44 @ 130 MPH, which should be in the high 8's when we can run a full 1/4 mile. It's made several low 9 second 1/4 mile passes without nitrous.
