The entire chassis was transformed with a full chromoly structure, full tubs, custom floors, custom transmission tunnel, extensive sheetmetal work, and countless one-off details.Engine & PerformancePower comes from a massive 467 cubic-inch Chevrolet big block, based on a GM Performance 454 block and built with premium internal components throughout.Performance highlights include:GM Performance big-block foundation454 bored/stroked to approximately 467ciAir Flow Research cylinder headsPorted and polished headsRoller rockersARP hardware throughoutBDS polished 8-71 superchargerDual 950 CFM Quick Fuel double-pumper carburetors200-shot nitrous systemApproximately 1,500 horsepower without nitrousAdditional 200 HP available on sprayMSD ignitionMagnum 500 fuel pumpCustom American Racing headers3-inch oval exhaustCustom shoebox-style mufflers exiting ahead of the rear wheelsThis is a brutally powerful engine combination, but the car was intentionally set up to remain streetable and has been driven to local shows and cruise nights.Transmission & DrivetrainBacking the big block is a fresh Turbo 400 automatic transmission with fewer than 50 miles on it.Drivetrain features include:Turbo 400 automatic transmissionBuilt by Select Performance Transmissions3,500 RPM Pro Torque stall converterReverse manual valve bodyTrans brakeLine lockOversized 1350 U-jointsHeavy-duty custom driveshaft tunnelMoser rear end4.11 gears35-spline axlesThe rear assembly has been beautifully finished and detailed, reflecting the same level of craftsmanship seen throughout the rest of the car.Chassis, Suspension & BrakesThis Camaro features a full chromoly chassis with extensive custom fabrication designed to handle extreme horsepower safely.The rear suspension features a custom 4-link setup with a Panhard bar and adjustable coilovers, designed to control the massive horsepower and keep the rear end planted.
