Thumbs up Turbocharged Artisan Camaro SS SA-600 drops down 600hp

Featured on homepage.

600hp enough for ya? Well, Artisan and turbochargers.com will be combining efforts to produce the Artisan SA-600 which will powered by twin turbos strapped onto the LS3 engine, expected to produce approximately 600 horsepowers. The turbo snails will be 2 rear-mounted GTK350 turbos and the rest of the performance mods will include a ECU software, intercooler and cat-back exhaust system.

Cosmetic changes includes, among other things, widebody front and rear fenders (1.5" wider in front / 3" wider in back). You'll need those extra large fenders to fit the superwide 21" front & 22" rear iForged wheels. The SS's stock brakes are upgraded to 14" SSBC big brakes. Expect pricing to be in the range of $70,000 and the SA-600 is expected to be available in June 2009.

this is weak, Mastmotorperformance.com already has camaro packages for 525 hp 545 hp and 600 hp with their heads installed and thats all motor and if you got the L99 they can hook you up with the same thing and you will still have your motor swap from 4 to 8 cylinders. They have cams for both an industry first and they also have the industry first 12 degree head so imaging that with a blower or twin turbo.

Rear Mount Turbos=HORRIBLE Boost Lag and NO full boost till middle gears.

Yes. There have been CUSTOM project RACE CARS that run a good 1/4 mile times with large cubes, high boost, and high stalled automatics.
For a street car, or a manual trans, you do NOT want a rear mount.

If you don't believe or accept what I am saying, go drive a few rear mounts turbo cars, many front mounts, many centrifugal, and many positive displacement supercharger cars to come to your own conclusion.
Or, just listen to someone who has.

If you want to spend the money to buy a package like this,
go to Lingenfelter instead.
They will build you a TVS 2300 or front mount twin turbo.

I'm still waiting for someone to offer the sweet cosmetic work without having to pay for the performance upgrades. Because that LOOKS AWESOME. but 70 grand doesnt.

What's $30K more going to hurt when you're already spending $70K?
