Kenne Bell Supercharger 2010 Camaro SS

[EZ SPEED]

Here are a few pics of my SS, I finished up the install of the 2.8 Kenne Bell a couple of weeks ago.
A Flowmaster Catback is the only other speed modification right now. It dynoed 336 / 334 before the KB, and should dyno about 500 after
I plan to do a small cam and ported heads this winter and shoot for close to 550 rwhp.

I have lowered it 1 inch with Eibach springs, I also went with Black and Machined replica wheels in 20 x 9 with 275 Pirelli front and 315 Nitto Invo rear tires.
I blacked out the rear panel between the tailights and smoked the tailights and added the old school style SS badges front and rear. I also added the front nose stripe similar to the 67-68 Camaro SS. I

Yeah, I have a sickness...I cant ever be satisfied till I make a vehicle "my way", I cant stand to see another car even look similar to mine. sometimes it takes me a few months to get the "vision" and then do it :jester:

[ncontt]

[BLOWN95GT]

How much boost?

[rtusnake]

Eric, that is one bad asp install!:metal:

[EZ SPEED]

:shrug:

Oops, I didnt post the numbers..but they are in my sig :jester:

485/485

I baselined at 336/334, so I gained 150rwhp / 150 rwtq from 9 lbs. of boost


I have a LS9 cam (supercharged Z06 vette), Longtube Headers with high flow cats sitting here in my shop ready to be installed, but I am waiting till I get my 2600 stall before I start installing it all. shooting for 530 rwhp.
And I am considering a water/ meth kit ...that would get me to about 550 rwhp

[ncontt]

nice numbers....congrats!!!

[NightHawk756]

Very nice! Congrats!! :chug:

[EZ SPEED]

Thanks Guys :chug:

I thought I would be happy with just the blower....but you know how that goes..LOL

[ncontt]

More more more!!!!!

[EZ SPEED]

I added OBX Stainless 1-7/8" primary longtube headers and high flow cats last weekend, now my exhaust is all 3" from the collector to the tips.
Made a huge difference in power by my "Butt Dyno" ..LOL
Not much difference in loudness at idle and low rpms.....But sounds really Goooood from 4000 rpm and up !!:jester:

Still collecting up parts to do a Camshaft swap in the next month or two.

[rtusnake]

And I quote " I'll never do another set of longtubes" :jester:

[EZ SPEED]

And I quote " I'll never do another set of longtubes" :jester:

Yeah...you remember me saying that dont ya...LMAO
Guess it was hard to resist seeing other guys on the forums get 30+rwhp swapping over to longtubes :jester:

[rtusnake]

Thats why they bolt on, always can take them off later lol

[EZ SPEED]

Well, as some of you already know…my little cam swap snowballed on me.

My plan was to install a stage 2 blower cam and a 2600 stall converter and that was all.

But after I tore down everything I realized that I would be near the limits for the stock pistons and rods.

So I I sold my factory LS3 shortblock assembly and decided to get a forged shortblock.

My original idea was just to go back with a stock displacement 376, but for just a little more $$ I decided on a 427 cid forged stroker shortblock.


JRE – Pro Torque 2600 stall converter
JRE - Comp Cams Stage 2 Blower Cam
Comp Cams hardened pushrods
Edelbrock 2 piece timing chain cover
LS7 Lifters
LS2 cam sprocket, timing chain damper, valley cover, rear main plate, lifter guides
ARP crank bolt, cam bolts, torque converter bolts, flexplate bolts
Patriot Performance Stage 2 Ported LS3 heads with ARP head bolts
Patriot Performance Gold Springs with titanium retainers good for .650 lift
LS3 stroked out to 427 cubic inches – Callies Crank and Rods, Weisco Pistons, All ARP studs- bolts – built by Texas Speed
Injector Dynamics 1000cc Injectors (95 lb per hour)
Lingenfelter Dual fuel pump kit with controller
Aluminum Sheetmetal fabricated valve covers without coil pack mounts
coil pack relocation brackets and new MSD wires



While I was waiting on the shortblock to be built, I decided to do a few more things:


Relocated ABS module from engine compartment to inner fender
Removed bracket from strut tower for ABS
Re-routed brake lines
Lengthened ABS wiring harness
Removed battery cable brackets from strut tower
Re-routed battery cables
Painted complete underside of car and engine compartment with basecoat / clearcoat to match exterior
Polished Stainless Steel bolts for fenders and radiator support plate
Billet polished strut tower caps
AAC Headlight Halos
New 427 decals for nose stripe
Polished Throttle body by Advanced Plating
Chromed supercharger bypass tube by Advanced Plating
Chromed Supercharger throttle body adapter plate by Advanced Plating
Black Anodized Cross Drilled and Slotted brake rotors

Here are some misc. pics from the past 8 weeks

Eric probably bought it, took it completely apart and replaced all teh bolts and wheels to give better stability and load carrying capabilities.

LMAO....yeah it will hold some weight. I was originally going to hook the trans to the engine while on the cradle...but I felt that might exceed the load capacity of the cart for sure..LOL

Here is a pic of the cart that Jannetty Racing uses at their shop...I didnt have time to build one so I improvised with my cart

[QWKSNKE]

Cart looks like one of the honeywell made specials :D

[EZ SPEED]

Well its back on the road. Drove it 21 miles yesterday!! :banana:

I even was a redneck and drove around with the hood off for a little while..LMAO

Gonna try to get a few hundered miles on it before I dyno tune it.

I cant believe how nice these new fuel injectors idle considering how large they are...my tuner told me they are like 111 lb per hour at 58 psi. :eek2:

The injectors came from www.InjectorDynamics.com , i am using the ID1000's

Here are a couple of pics...and i will try to get a video up in a few days so yall can hear the nice cam lope :drool:

[TheJeanyus]

Any projections what kind of power that thing is going to make?

Car sounds good. I have heard alot of good things about the Id injectors. They are proud of them

[ChipR4cam]

When you backed up and pulled through the water box I was expecting a burn out.:D

[waypastcrazy]

Sounds good.
X2 on engine bay looks nice.

[Dale McPeters]

Went over to Atlanta Performance and Fabrication yesterday to do a tune on my SS.

Last July my car dynoed 485 rwhp with 9.6 psi of boost (4” pulley) only mods was a Kenne Bell Supercharger and a Flowmaster catback.

Yesterday we had to remove the 4” pulley because we were only seeing 6.8 – 7.0 psi with it, so we tried the smallest pulley we had which was a 3-3/8” and we were seeing 9.8 – 9.9 psi. the SS did …605 rwhp.

I was wanting to run 12 psi on the street which should be around 640-650 rwhp, and do a few pulls on the dyno at 16 psi which should be a hair over 700 rwhp.

I will talk to Kenne Bell this week and see what pulleys I need to get 16 psi, and I will probably just leave it at 10 psi for daily driving…that should be enough..LMAO

So final numbers yesterday …. 605 / 570 on 9.9 psi :banana:

[NO2MORO]

:eek2: That is just freekin awsome! Great numbers.

update:

Not a whole lot to update on the SS really.
I did get a window tint ticket a couple of months ago in the SS.
I knew it was just a matter of time..LOL...My windows used to be 20% with a 50% front windsheild, the front windshelid is what caught the troopers attention.
So I ripped it all off and got the ticket signed off and tinted the car legal this time with 35% (actually tinted it myself...been a while since I tinted a vehicle)
I also plasti-dipped the wheels all black and added a red pinstripe on the outter edge of the wheel. a little different look for a while..and i can always peel the plasti-dip and the stripe off if i ever get tired of the look.
Just pissing around with little small stuff right now till I can get my lower pulley and turn the boost up a little more.

[TheJeanyus]

I actually think I like it better with the new tint. The wheels look good, too. :nice:

[QWKSNKE]

I am not a fan of the black wheels but I agree with Joseph the lighter window tint looks better IMO

[asilver2001gt]

How many coats of plastidip? Was thinking of doing this to the Z06

[EHardy1971]

I have to say that pics don't do the car justice. You just have to see it in person, especially under the hood. :nice:

Yeah the tint really looks classier, not so gangster..LMAO

I didnt really like the wheels at first, but they are going on me the more that I look at them.

Like 3-4 coats will do it

Thanks!! been getting it all cleaned up and ready for the next First Friday in Gadsden :chug:

[Dale McPeters]

Like the car but don't care for the black wheels to much as it's just to much black for this old guy...
I do like the sound of the new engine blower combo though it sounds good!!!

[EZ SPEED]

New update:

I just added a 2012 Camaro ZL1 front bumper, I ordered this 2 days before GM stopped all dealers from being able to order any of the ZL1 specific parts because they are starting up the ZL1 production earlier this week.
I think its cool that I have a ZL1 front bumper before any of them hit the streets..LMAO :banana:


First pic is how it was.....for comparision

[EZ SPEED]

Yesterday I finally got in my Havoc rear bumper diffuser that I ordered back before Christmas.

Here are some pics. first pic is the stock one on the car and the Havoc below it, the next two pics are of the Havoc installed. Its just more aggressive looking I think :D

I never cared for the back view of new camaros... but that diffuser really helps! :nice:

Nope, you ruined it. Looks like shit now. :shake:

Thanks Guys!!

I still have a few more parts on the way that I ordered 2+ months ago..LOL

[rtusnake]

Looks much better :chug:

[EZ SPEED]

Here are some more updated pics.

I added the ZL1 side rockers, ZL1 rear splash shields and a black strip under the headlights. As soon as I get my LED side markers and install then I should be finished on exterior mods for a while..LOL



.

[rtusnake]

Car looks alot more aggressive. Do you remember what it looks like stock? Lol

[TheJeanyus]

Looks good. That black strip under the headlights is a pretty minor addition that made a BIG different IMO. :nice:

What did you use to add the red pinstripe to the wheels? Is it just rim tape, or is it painted on?

I agree about the stripe under the headlights!
The red pinstripe on the wheels is just a red vinyl stripe that I got off ebay. they make them pre-curved to fit certain diameter wheels. mine is 5mm wide for a 20" wheel. it comes to you in 4 pieces per wheel. pretty easy to install.
And dont forget the wheels are painted with Plasti-Dip !! :jester:

[EZ SPEED]

here is before and after

[Blown54]

I bet that matte vinyl was tuff to lay in those curves and under the grille line...
End result= looks killer.

That's the same kind of stuff I have on my bike. Once in a while I'll notice part of mine trying to peel up, but it sticks back down. If it gets too bad I may have to buy another set...for a whopping $6. IIRC mine is 3mm for a 17" wheel.
