Mike's Camaro SS w/IPS Twin-Turbo Kit -- 650hp / 659 ft/lbs

Got Mike's 2010 SS finished up on the dyno last night  and on 8psi it put down 650rwhp and 659 ft/lbs of torque !!!  This was on a "Watered down" 93-octane tune as Mike can only put 91-Octane in it back in Oklahoma.  This is the most torque we have ever made with one of our TT Kit's on the Camaro.  Needless to say, this a VERY quick car :)

Polished Sheet-metal Intake

Here are a few pics of a shiny new sheet-metal intake that found its way on top of a Twin-turbo C6:


Mike's IPS TT Camaro SS

Mike dropped his car off all the way from Oklahoma to get our IPS Twin-Turbo Kit installed and tuned.  This beautiful silver SS now has the power to back up its good looks!  Mike chose to go with the billet-upgraded GT3582R turbos with a polished upper intercooler pipe and blue Tial "Q" BOV. 



Mark's TT 427 LSx Build

Mark decided to go big with his 2010 SS Camaro -- REALLY big.  Lots of spray on his LSx 427 wasn't enough so we pulled the engine, dropped in lower compression coated-Diamond pistons, and added a set of LSx-R ported cylinder heads.  We pulled the nitrous and are adding our IPS TT Kit with the largest turbos we offer.  We are adding in a 1200+ HP fuel system to feed this power-hungry SS in the search for low low 9-second time-slips :)

Jerry G. C6Z 4L80 Tranny Upgrade

Jerry brought his crazy fast C6 Z06 up to us from Louisiana to get the 4L60 we installed for him a few years ago upgraded to the 6-speed 4L80.  No more broken tranny's for Jerry even running low 9's can cutting sub 1.30 60-Fts :)  Once we get all the goodies in from RPM Transmissions we will post up a few "Install" pics as things progress. 


James' TBSS Engine Rebuild

James dropped off his Trailblazer SS off to have the engine pulled and rebuilt and freshen everything up.  With a few choice LS7 and aftermarket upgrades this SS will run as good as she did off the dealership lot :)



Cool write-up on a clients 9-Second Z06

We have the car in the shop now upgrading the 4L60 Auto Tranny we installed in the car a couple years ago in favor of the 6-speed 4L80.  More pics to come once we get all the goodies in from RPM Transmissions :)

Doug's C5Z on the Dyno

We finished up Doug's C5Z on Friday and it gained almost 80rwhp with a mild cam and our IPS Stage 2 Cyl Heads.  With all the maintenance now out of the way and a LS7 clutch to hold the added power this Z is as reliable as it was brand-new :)

Another 2010 Camaro SS...

stopped by today to talk about future mods and how well it has been running since the last time it was here.  It will be back to see us again this winter :)

Doug's C5 Z06...

has an engine back in it :)  The car fired up and ran like a top this morning.  Now we just need to put a few miles on the brand-new LS7 clutch and it is ready to hit the dyno and get tuned!



Jim's C4 Corvette

Jim stopped by for a few quick base-line pulls in his C4 Corvette.  With a "Stock" number in hand, now it is time to get that Procharger ordered and add 100 HP :)


600+ RWHP Z06

Just your garden-variety 600+rwhp C6Z stopping down to discuss future mods :)

Maggie 2300 + Headers 2010 Camaro SS

Mike dropped off his L99 2010 Camaro SS for us to install a Maggie 2300 Supercharger kit with a 3.6" pulley, a Roto-fab CAI with Custom Valve Covers, a set of Kooks headers and a MSD boost-a-pump.  With the install complete we then tuned this incredible-looking Camaro on our in-house AWD DynoJet w/ HP Tuners.






With no extended cool-down time and with the stock cat-back exhaust still in-place the car put down an impressive 470rwhp and 473 ft/lbs of trq.

Twin-turbo C6

This is a C6 we have had "Finished" a couple different times now with it putting down almost 800rwhp on conservative boost a few months back.  The owner wanted more and wisely decided to upgrade the cylinder heads and intake and have everything polished so this 1000+ HP Vette will have the car-show looks to go with its muscle.

Upgrades this go-around:

CNC-ported GM LSx-R Cylinder Heads
Sheet-metal Intake
Polished Intake / TB / Water Pump / T-Stat Cover / Alternator & Brkt / Valley Cover
4" FMIC Core & Deflector
More Boost!!



2004 Z06 -- Engine Out

We pulled the engine out of this 2004 Corvette Z06 to install a pair of our IPS CNC'd Cylinder Heads, and our IPS Stage 2 Cam Pkg. Complimenting these parts is a JP billet timing chain, ARP cam bolts, and LS7 lifters. To make sure the maintenance was kept up to date, we also installed a fresh oil pump and full gasket and seal pkg.  Rounding out the maintenance mods but also needed to handle the extra power is a new LS7 clutch and flywheel assy with a GM slave cylinder.  Last but not least is a set of Kooks headers and X-pipe.

We should have the car on the dyno tomorrow so stay tuned for pics and vids!


Twin-turbo Camaro's !!!

We are installing our Twin-turbo Kit on two different 2010 SS Camaro's right now and just scheduled two others today.  A pair of turbos is the best thing you can ever do to your Camaro!

'02 Camaro SS



Dale dropped his 2002 Camaro SS off for a LS7 clutch/flywheel and a Richmond 4:10 gear install.  In addition, we knocked out some maintenance-related items as well to keep this SS running like it should.

This car is a pair of LT Headers and a tune away from running strong and being able to take advantage of its full potential :)
