BONE STOCK LS6 crate engine from GM Performance parts with a factory LS6 intake, BBK 85mm TB, stock cam, stock heads, and BBK Long Tube Headers. Dynoed just a hair under 400rwhp through a built T56 and built 10-bolt rear...yes...it made that much power! haha

Looks like a VFN Sunoco hood.

Correct, it's the Sunoco hood from VFN without the crease.

If it's just matching stock STI times...how the hell does that make it the STI killer??? I'm assuming this car is far from done?

The car is far from done, yes. Not only is the purpose of this project to build a quick car, but also make people appreciate just how quick a factory stock STi is out of the box...they really are impressive. With the right combination of parts, the F-body chassis can be very quick for sure.

The Killer, in it's current configuration, is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than a stock STi in every aspect. In fact, we beat a stock STI around a tight, low speed road course in the May 2011 issue of GMHTP and have since improved lap times by several seconds through additional braking, handling, and wheel/tire improvements. On a big power track like Sebring, it wouldn't even be close, and that's really saying something for a Fourth-Gen Camaro.

STI Killer > STI : That's a fact!

Hey Justin, random question but I see that you guys are running a turn one pump on the car. What brand and type (I assume synthetic) of power steering fluid are you running and how much? Just looking for what others are running in their turn one and how its working for them...Thanks
Good luck hunting down those AWD tuners.
