Heck, most people can’t even make 1000 HP with a turbo, blower or nitrous. But the Gearheads at the School of Automotive Machinists (SAM) don’t need no stinking power adder, instead, their naturally aspirated 438-CI motor makes 1064 HP at a sky high 9000 RPM! Yes, you read that correctly, no nitrous, no turbos, no blower, just good old stoich, lots of compression, a sky-high rev ceiling and plenty of top-secret tricks.
As if a HOSS 4th Gen. Camaro isn’t special enough, SAM has to go and throw an all-motor bullet like this under the hood and shatter every applicable record in the book, like the Fastest All Motor LS Camaro with stock suspension. Motivation comes from the aforementioned 438 that uses an LSX block, C5R heads and two Holley Throttle Bodies feeding a Beck Sheet Metal intake manifold.

Seriously, crank your speakers and listen to this beast spin to 9000 RPM. This is what nearly 1100 naturally aspirated horses sounds like! Come get some!
