2010 CAMARO TWIN TURBO SYSTEM IS HERE!!!
We finally finished up the 2010 Camaro system, well sorta. As we speak, the crew is tying together a few loose ends. I did get the opportunity hear them start up the car for the first time in months to double check all the connections.
I personally think the kit turned out way better than expected. We took a different approach with this system from every aspect possible during the developing stages. With the success of the Stage X kit for the Corvettes, designing a kit for the new Camaro was going to have everything the Corvette kit had and some. The kits components are virtually the same, with minor differences but the same engineering concepts were applied with a list of improvements to be made. Here’s a quick run down of what the 2010 Camaro kit consists of-
TURBOCHARGERS- We used the same platform turbochargers as the Vettes which were supplied by Precision Turbo. They consist of a 62mm billet compressor wheel, stuffed into a B cover on the cold side and a 65mm turbine wheel in a vband inlet and 3.00” 0.82 A/R outlet turbine housing. The end user will have the ability to buy this system with a dual ball bearing option or standard bearing. The vband/vband turbine housing makes the installation of the ‘turbo mount pipe assembly’ (turbo, downpipe, wastegate and wastegate dump) a breeze. In fact, the assembly installs in under an hour with only 4 nuts/bolts; 2 at the exhaust manifold and 2 on the coupler mating the exhaust to the downpipe.
WASTEGATES- 38mm wastegates used to be adequate when the average Joe wanted 1000hp. With this kit and the right engine combination, we are anticipating horsepower numbers well over 1400+! We equip each kit with two of Precision’s new 46mm wastegates. Like the turbochargers, the inlet and outlet of the gates are attached with vband connections to ease the installation. Each kit will come with an assortment of wastegate springs from about 6psi to 15psi.
INTERCOOLER and DUCTING- The intercooler definitely is a piece you’re used to seeing. It uses a 3-1/2” core that’s almost 30 inches long and 9 inches tall. The end tanks are made out of sheet metal which are standard on this kit. The intercooler ducting is fabricated out of 6061 aluminum to help reduce the total weight of the system. Each pipe is bead rolled on each end to ensure a snug fit. A 50mm TiAL Sport bypass valve is mounted on the inlet pipe to the throttle body. Finally the ducting and intercooler will be powder coated and offered in a wide variety of colors as well as fiberglass reinforced silicone couplers and lined hose clamps.
That’s the jist of the system from Nick’s point of view. What George and Bob finally set their minds will be in my next blog, in the next forum post (be sure to check out camaro5.com) or in an email response to you regarding this system.
With that said, check out my latest YouTube video of the system:
2005-2010 Mustang GT Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger Install
Whats nice about this system is the charger itself doesn’t require you to replace your stock hood or even modify it. The rotor assembly is 2300cc (which is 140 cubic inches) and uses the Eaton TVS GEN VI rotor assembly. Edelbrock also took some time designing a custom intake manifold with 15″ long runners to increase low-end torque. The head unit is just about maintenance free. You dont have to change the supercharger oil for 100,000 miles and its self-contained!
I had a chance to dyno the vehicle before and after and the power that Edelbrock is claiming is no fairy tale. You’ll have to click the graph to enlarge it but remember, these figure are rated at the tire which is usually 15%-20% lower than flywheel horsepower!
Graph shown is before and after results
I left my dungeon every so often and took some pictures of the install process. The install (from what I’m told) was very straight forward and really easy. The directions were easy to follow and weren’t confusing or misleading which is always a plus. The kit its self showed up on a pallet very well professionally packaged.
This is a picture of some of the parts we took off as well as one of the boxes with parts in it.
Intake is off and the supercharger is waiting patiently to be installed.
There’s a couple different angles of the kit installed and a shot of it on the dyno
If your interested in getting any of the eForce superchargers installed, send me an email here and I’ll set you up with a quote.
Got Headers? Precision 6265 Comparison & 5th Gen Camaro TTiX?
I finally pulled away from the phone and store front, to post up a few shop projects that we’ve tackled in the past couple of months. Like every winter, George and Bob spent endless hours building the next level in race headers. Below are a few pictures of what they accomplished. Whether its a street rod or a full blown race car these headers are always a one of kind creation that’s proven to pick up some extra horsepower to give you that edge on the rest of the racers.
I forgot to mention that we also build custom exhaust and headers for things besides race cars and street cars too! Check out this complete header and exhaust system on this Jeep for example. This Jeep is used for barrel racing (yes, like they do with horses but with Jeeps instead). This header and exhaust system was made out of 304 16 gauge (.065″) stainless steel and used a pair of stainless steel merge collectors with glass packs and turn downs to add that extra rumble that gets these enthusiasts on their heels!
First picture is a BEFORE shot of what was originally on the Jeep.
This is a Willys powered by a Big Block Chevrolet and a blower. These headers were made out of 304 18 gauge (.049″) stainless steel and were mated up a Borla mufflers. Bob altered the fenders for a smooth fender exit design.
You typically save the best for last right? Here’s a ‘67 Camaro that belongs to Mike and Yvonne Lucas out of NHRA Division 6 (Top Sportsman). These headers turned out unbelievable. These beauties are built out of 18 gauge (.049″) 304 stainless steel with custom specified merge collectors to squeeze every ounce of power outta that 4 staged N2O big block.
Speed Inc out of Schaumburg, IL had a chance to compare the Precision turbochargers (6265s) versus the Turbonetics turbochargers that we use on our Corvette systems. The only thing changed on each of the dyno runs were the turbochargers. From the information that Speed Inc gave me this is an “apples to apples” comparison in products here. The green line are the Precision units and the blue line represents the Turbonetics units.

We finally got our hands on a 5th gen Camaro. Were developing a twin turbo system for it as we speak. If I told you all the details, I’d have to shoot you 
. We just about have the first system finished and hope to hit the dyno soon. Once the system is completely finished, I’ll post pictures, dyno graphs, information, pricing, etc as soon as possible. All this information will be listed in our forum so be sure to register and check back.
Other than that racing is right around the corner, are YOU ready yet? I know I’m not! See ya at the track or on the phone, email, forums, etc 
NISSAN PERFORMANCE: 2005-2010 4.0L Supercharger Systems By: STILLEN
I’m not a real big Nissan fan but I’m also not against Nissans either. After all, they were one of the biggest hitters back in the late 80s, to early 90s for OEM turbocharged applications. One name that most automotive enthusiasts do recognize when it comes to aftermarket performance parts for this breed, is Stillen. Stillen has been around for well over a decade (if not two) and continues to deliver great parts at a price that you and I can afford.
I recently had the opportunity to install one of Stillen’s V6 4.0L supercharger systems onto a brand new 2010 Frontier. This was a straight forward bolt on supercharger that had a power increase of about 40% over stock. The kit was complete with an upgraded fuel pump, injectors, intercooler and even a piggy back standalone.
Stillen makes this kit for more than just the Frontier; the V6 4.0L Pathfinder and Xterra, between the years 2005 and 2009, are also supported.
Here are a few photos of the install as well as a before and after dyno sheet.

Todd @ RPM Transmission goes 9.51 @ 148MPH!! BILLET TTiX
With over 20 sets of the new billet turbochargers sold in the past 6 months, not one customer has sent me any pictures, videos, time slips, or dyno graphs! I do remember calling RPM Transmission and hearing Todd tell me what his car ran but never got any pictures or videos of it.
Phil Hoefler, Todd’s tuner, sent me a few emails this morning; one had a link to a youtube video, another with some pictures of the car and finally a timeslip. I guess Hoefler wanted Todd to be famous or he just got bored with looking at my last post in November. Either way, great find Phil nice job sending this car into the 9s and Congratulations to Todd and the RPM Transmission crew! Lets take a look (if you haven’t seen it already!)
Even though pictures were the past, I have a few photos to share with you as well:

Curt Geise: Fastest Pontiac Powered Door Car 6.693 at 209.98mph!
There really isn’t any way of buttering up this one! NHRA Division 6 driver, Curt Geise, runs an all time best of 6.693 at 209.98mph in his Pontiac GTO. Not only was that the fastest pass for Geise but its also believed to be the fastest Pontiac door car.
Whats in that thing? I’ll set you straight right now; its not a big block Chevrolet motor. Geise has made very clear that this is a true Pontiac 525″. Refer to his combination as a “Chevy” motor and well I’ll let you discuss that with him
. Now besides the “Pontiac” motor, twin Precision Turbochargers are used and propelled down the track by the simplest transmission known to man, a powerglide. That will wrap up Geise’s season but what does he have in store for next season? He turned up the boost at his last divisional race, I wonder where the boost will be at next year?Geise would like to thank his wife Bonnie, George Scott of Turbo Technology, Job Spetter JR of Turbo People of New York and probably his best friend, his dog.
