Camaro SS with twin turbo LS7 lays down big power and shoots flames.
This video features a 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro SS making a run on the rollers of Race Proven Motorsports, but this isn’t your average 5g Camaro SS. Instead of the 426hp LS3, this Camaro is powered by an LS7. That 7.0L LS has been fitted with a twin turbo setup from AGP.
This appears to be a Camaro that we have featured in the past, but this footage is new. We get to see the monster Chevy stretching its legs from a few different angles. In each run, the driver gently works the boosted Camaro SS through the gears for fear of traction loss. Once he is in the desired gear, he puts the hammer to the floor and lets the engine run at wide open throttle.
This Camaro sounds incredible and when the driver backs off, a crackle of flame comes from the exhaust tips. The unburnt vaporized fuel ignites when it meets the air. After the runs, we get a look at the screen, the best run: 833WHP and 858 lb-ft.
With that much power, this Camaro SS is packing around 500 more wheel horsepower and torque than a stock fifth gen. The inside matches the outside, with this blacked out Camaro.
Best of all, the twin turbo LS3 sounds incredible during the trip of dyno runs, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
