Every offseason, chassis and fabrication shops fill up with racers looking to shed pounds, update a chassis, and find just about any way to gain an edge at the track. Heath Hisle is ahead of the game for next season, as his stunning 1969 Camaro RS just left Tin Solder Racecars after some fresh updates.
This first generation F-body is going to be rocking dual power adders and word on the street is, Hisle isn’t afraid to use them.
To power his evil-looking Camaro and keep up with the big dogs, Hisle is going with a beefy 602 cubic-inch, big-block Chevy built by Phillip Oakley of Oakley Performance. Providing the boost will be a pair of 80 mm BorgWarner S400 snails, with Tial 60 mm wastegates and 50 mm blow-off valves regulating the boost. Tin Soldier Racecars fabricated the new turbo headers and full turbo kit that uses Stainless Headers flanges that force all the boosted air into the C&S blow-through carburetor setup.
Hisle’s Camaro is currently a backhalved car with ladder bars that sports AFCO coilovers to put the power down from the big-block Chevy under the hood. The plan for the car this year is to run some no-time events, Outlaw 10.5 races, and whatever else the car fits into. Hisle also insists the car’s nitrous roots will remain in place, with all of the giggle juice plumbing remaining in place and ready to go at the crack of the bottle. Look for this nasty Camaro to be on the track early in 2016 making some shakedown passes and getting ready to mix it up.
