’10 Camaro Runs 9’s with Supercharged 427 LSX

We are surprised it took this long to make it across the single digits threshold, but some loyal Bow tie fan has finally done it. An absolute monster of a 2010 5th Gen Camaro has broken through the single-digit barrier and finally… the world has a 9-second 2010.Camaro5 broke the news on David Brook’s 9.9836 second run @ 144.23 MPH in his Late Model Racecraft-built Camaro.

To go that fast required some serious modifications. Rather than try and get all that power out of the stock LS3 engine, which would have essentially required a from-the-ground-up build, Late Model Racecraft went with a 427 LSX engine. Then they hooked up a massive Procharger F-series supercharger, which is good for about 1,300 horsepower. To support the blow is a custom air-to-air intercooler kit. No expense was spared for this project.

The automatic-equipped car was strapped to a dyno before these runs, where it made 914 horsepower and 761 ft-lbs of torque to the wheel running 16lbs of boost. Figuring a 15% drivetrain loss, the Procharged LSX engine made over 1,050 horsepower and 875 horsepower at the crank. The transmission is the original 6L80E and torque converter and even the stock independent rear suspension, though the half-shafts had to be upgraded to handle the power.

The thing about records though, is there is always someone else looking to break them. So while congratulations are in order to David and Late Model Racecraft, we can’t wait to see who takes their Camaro to the next level. 8’s anyone?
