Redline Motorsports-Built Twin-Turbocharged Camaro runs 8s

It’s getting pretty normal for us to see 8-second street cars. It seems all you need is a solid mechanical foundation, some boost, and a really good tuner. Of course, that sentence makes it sound so easy, but everyone knows it takes a lot to get into the 8-second zone.

The car is known as the No Punk Camaro. Punks need not try this car at the track.

Redline Motorsports has it figured out with this customers’ 2010 Camaro. Redline dialed up a 427 LSX combination with a Callies Magnum crank, Manley forged connecting rods, MAST Motorsports 285cc CNC 6-bolt heads, and a Redline-built twin-turbocharger system using a pair of Precision 64/66 ball-bearing turbos.

As you can tell by the video, part of Redline’s tuning prowess involved utilizing an AMS2000 boost controller off the line in order to allow the car to leave without blowing the Mickey Thompson Radial Pros up in smoke.

The Camaro features a ATI Performance Products Turbo 400 and Outlaw converter.

The car’s previous owner, also a Redline customer, ran 9.70s at 145 mph, but that wasn’t enough for the new customer so the car came back to Redline for the twin-turbocharged 427. “The goal was to deliver an 8-second car,” says Redline’s Howard Tanner. “It was important that we shipped it back to Texas with an 8-second slip in the glove box to validate the work.”

Redline Motorsports will be following the car to Texas to further help dial in the car. Track conditions weren’t favorable on the night this video was taken when the car ran an 8.98 at 162 mph, so Redline hopes to get the car into the 8.50-8.60s at Royal Purple Raceway in Houston. “We are all about results,” Tanner says.
