Default 2012 Camaro LS3

This may not be a Corvette but, the LS3 is still an amazing engine to work with to extract performance from.

The latest build was a 2012 Camaro SS Transformer Edition and came to us from Wisconsin. This was a brand new Camaro and needed some help. The mods added were:

RPT Custom Cam Package
Kooks 1 7/8 Longtube Headers
Kooks 3" Catted Connection Pipes
Roto-Fab CAI
Professional Installation
RPT Austin Custom Dyno Tuning

With the concerns from my customer, a cam with excellent torque production and drivability were the main items to address. Well, mission accomplished. With the custom cam, the idle sounds bad *** and is very deep. The Transformer Edition is an attention grabber and with the lopey cam, it will be a hit at car shows.

If in the San Antonio Area, the Camaro SS will be at Biff's on Friday Night and be sure to check it out.

I like how you start your pull at 2000rpm, it really helps to show what the motor will do when driving around in the lower revs. Solid improvement Any hint on cam size
