Default 2010 Camaro w/ T76 anyone?

Ok, so with the new Camaro having tight quarters below, where are we going to fit a T76? Are any of our sponsors trying to get a test vehicle (not that I have one available, but I know a couple of people on this forum might). Let's discuss...

Well, it is the zeta chassis, so really most GTO setups should work here too. I do like the side entrance air box. That might prove to be a blessing...being able to squeeze a unit over on the drivers side where that box is without relocating too much. An SC here would be easier as its done on some GTO setups. Running an exhaust crossover for a single turbo to that side might be a challenge under/in front of the motor...and the re-route of the incoming air might be tricky. Whats closest to the camera here thats cut off? Battery? That might need to be relocated, but hey then theres room for 2 big twins

^^^+1 4th jen cars don't have allot of room in the engine bay and we still manage fine with a t76. some even go bigger. i do not think this engine bay is any worse, it could be a little better because the radiator is already standing up.

i just hope it will not be the same procedure for removing the ******* oil pan !!!

I think the PCM could be the problem, the performance hardware is usually much easier to figure out on a new generation car than the ability to tune.

I would be very surprised if HP Tuners and/or EFI Live does not have a package in the works for it.

I do not see it being much of a problem, we have looked at it too.

We have a line on a body in white. We plan to have a K Member and what not once the body gets to us. We will figure it out.

Nice! I knew someone besides me had to be thinking about it already. I guess everyone was just being . I'm hoping someone is going to put together hot side kit for it because I really want to try to tackle this on my own, once I pull the trigger on it.

I was just thinking that it might be propriotary and kept secret for a while.
