The School of Automotive Machinists is pleased to announce its latest project, a 2010 Camaro.
The School ordered a 2010 Camaro after the 2008 PRI show and it arrived in Houston this summer. Our Camaro 2SS/RS is victory red with white racing stripes. This Chevy came equipped with an LS3 paired with a manual transmission.
As you can see from the pictures below, the newest SAM project is a Hot Rod Test Car and the build-up will be followed by Hot Rod Magazine. SAMs new Camaro will compete in the True Street class at the 2009 LSX Shootout in Memphis. For the Shootout, we will run a LMR cold air intake, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam, American Racing Headers, and LS3 Chevy Heads ported at SAM.
After Memphis, Ron Shearer with Shearer Fabrications and Brian Nutter with Wiseco will drive the car to Ohio where Ron will custom fabricate a twin turbo system. This will be the beginning of the Camaros transformation to a 7 second drag radial car. Although we have had much success with our naturally aspirated Camaros and Mustang, SAM is excited to have its first power adder join our team of high performance cars.
While the car is in Ohio, the SAM instructors and students will be working hard on the Camaros new engine, an ERL sleeved 440 ci aluminum block. We look forward to keeping you updated on this exciting project. For more information about this project, please visit our website at www.samracing.com or follow the project in Hot Rod Magazine.

Awesome! Can't wait to see what gains you get after the next set of mods. We have a IOM SS/RS as well with New Era CAI, American Racing Headers (Long Tube) and a SLP Loudmouth II Exhaust. Hubby also ported the throttle body and tuned the car with HP Tuner's software. We will be dynoing it soon to see where we are at hp wise.
