Gen 5 Camaro Internal Engine Tech - 2010 camaro LSX 454ci 700+hp on pump gas

1500 miles on this 2010 ss. All stock except eliminated the mufflers and added badges. We tore into the car today and got the drivetrain out while retaining the a/c and powersteering in the car. We pulled it out from the top. Much easier then trying to pull from the bottem like 4th gens.

Here is the list of Mods that we "Nitrous Pig Racing" are putting on the car.

MAST motorsports 454ci LSX, with ported ls7 12* heads and custom sheet metal inake specifically measured up for the 2010 style and stock hood.

American racing long tube headers.

Full exhaust to the back

New shifter

Upgraded axel shafts

Centerforce dual friction clutch

Custom cold air intake with K&N filter

Here are some progress pics.

The owner has plans to put it in another project car of his.

Looks good.

Just curious why you went with a sheetmetal intake? With a car that weighs 4000+lbs id like as much low end Torque as possible.

Looks great Khi!

This should be a factory option. Very nice!

Look great
How long are the runners in that sheet metal intake?

Just installed the upgraded axel shafts today Went really well. Forgot my camera though, i'll get some pics tomorrow and upload them. Hopefully installing some Hotchkis subframe connecters tomorrow.


Looks great Khi!

Thanks John!! PM me some info about a sponsorship for my shop on the site!

The car isn't gonna have any problems getting up and going with this intake. With the ls7 intake, the car made over 700hp. Not to mention, this intake just looks BADASS!!;)


This should be a factory option. Very nice!

Thanks!! I agree, it does look very nice, especially with the sheet metal valve covers it's gonna have. Should shine! We are also painting the valley cover, timing cover and block body color red. It's going to look as good as it goes!

I'd have to check on that. We had it custom made for our aplication and model of car so it would fit under the stock cowl and hood.

Damn thats badass ! :)

Well started doing the axel shaft upgrade yesterday and ran into a little problem with the snap clips on the inner axel shaft. The new ones weren't seating properly. But we took care of it and got some new ones on it and they snaped in good now. :) Finished it up today and also installed the new hotchkis subframe connecters. Fitment is really nice. Should help out with the chassis. Got the block all ready for paint today as well. Sanded and cleaned and taped off everything to be sprayed body color red.

Here are some pics.

Thats an amazing build, crazy to see a brand new car like that all torn apart already getting built up ha.

Got the motor all painted yesterday. Took some pics with the intake on. I have some more but some how the sd cards got switched around at the shop.

you think this will break the fastest 5th gen record when its ready to go?

you think this will break the fastest 5th gen record when its ready to go?

I actually dont even know the fastest 5th gen record right now. But as is, I do not think it will anyhow. This is a NA car. And pumpgas. If It was a 510ci race gas monster with 2 kits and all suspension for drag, then I think maybe it could have a chance. But thats not what were after here. Were after streetability and a fun little toy on the street. It's staying 6spd and everything. The driver is in his 50's. He just wants something with some OOOMMPH to puts around in.

I just bought a 2010 2ss 6 spd i wanna do the exact same setup how much you think to get this done?

This motor is a rough, $17k alone. Depends on exact details you want. PM me with specifics and I'll get back to you.
I can have a ballpark estimate by friday of everything were doing to this costomers car. I'll pm you info by friday.

Really nice build. Are we going to get to see some videos once everything is together and tuned?

I'm sure I can manage some vids once it's all done ;)

Very nice build! Tastefully done.

coming together nicely.

Thanks guys. Should have it on the dyno in two weeks. June 3rd!! Thanks to Larry and Jim @ Speed Inc!

We look forward to helping finalize the project :)

Hi, I'm Tom Gottschalk, co-owner of Nitrous Pig Racing. I thought I'd share a couple more pics of the build that I had taken. Ok, it's more than a couple.

Very nice man....that car will be a blast to drive. I like how you put the 454 emblems on the sides.

any vids off that bad bitch

no vids as of yet. It is getting tuned on June 3rd.

Installed the American Racing Headers and Exhaust to the axel and mocked up the intake. Few more things to button up and it's off to get tuned!

Why would you put a factory balancer on a $17k motor? :bang:

the factory motor (7.0) is 20,000 i dont think its gonna hurt.

Why would you put a factory balancer on a $17k motor? :bang:

Because they work just fine... Yes it would be nice to have an aftermarket balancer but, the money is better spent elsewhere in the motor. We can always upgrade it later if the customer so chooses.

Thanks
Chip

I just bought a 2010 2ss 6 spd i wanna do the exact same setup how much you think to get this done?

Just wondering if you were still interested in getting work done on your car. I sent you a PM but haven't heard back from you. Let us know.

Fired her up today, here is a little teaser vid. Going on the dyno at speed inc tomorrow!

http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/91zls1/?action=view&current=MVI_0150.mp4

Well, dyno session didn't go as well as I wanted, but nothing major happened. The guys at speed inc. did a great job getting the base tune done, but it picked up a high end miss somewhere in the ignition. I had some issues with the crimp connectors for the coil end of the wires, so I'm starting there. The motor sounds fricken great, here is a little video with some dynomax race bullets that we threw on till I decide what mufflers to put on it, enjoy.

Thanks!!! Keyboard broke, keys all stuck together now :playboy:

BEAUTIFUL car and great build :thumb:

dyno numbers

Do the military folks a favor and post your vid on streetfire. Youtube is banned.

that is incredible!

Sweat built.

That Camaro needs some nice wheels. It looks to plain for what it has under the hood.

I have a feeling that's what the 50 year old owner is going for.

It is getting some american racing torque thrust II's and nittos soon!

I'll have to look at the dyno sheet at the shop, but it made almost 550rwhp and 500rwtq.
