Definitely! Thy looked pretty damned slow too. It's nice to see that people are modifying Camaros this quickly though. Too bad there isn't a real blower on the market for them (other than a Procharger).

STS = garbage. Vortec = no thanks. TVS = Decent, but not a Whipple or a KB. Procharger - great blower, which is why I said "other than" a Procharger. I'd love to see a 3.4L Whipple sitting on top of a LS3.

Not sure how the TVS = "Decent"
IMO it's one of the better ones out there if you go the S/C route. Buddy of mine just made 573rwhp/549rwtq with a 1900 @ 12.2 psi on his stock 5.3L with nothing more than valve springs. And with a 75 shot he made 626rwhp/762rwtq. Sounds more than "Decent" to me.

The SS looked like it had some ugly *** wheels on it. Appears to have the body kit painted to match too. All the ones i've seen so far are just that grey that they come in.

Because a TVS just isn't as good as a KB or a Whipple. Therefore, it's decent.

Sounded like a automatic to lol. So I doubt it's the driver. I think the reason it looks slow is because the 2 cars racing weigh like 203239293029lbs to begin with, I pull gt500's by a car or two from a dig easy, but they're pretty damn close races when it's from a roll. So saying that.. the camaro doesn't impress me.

Nice run SS moves at top end.

I'm sure both cars are close in power level since the SS Doesnt have a cam and its A6.
