What was your estimate on costs, and what is it turning out to be? That's what I wanna know?

Thank you for the very kind words. Our team works really hard and is passionate about the new Camaro!

Our HPE700 Camaro with the LS9 engine tweaked to 705 hp, is a complete turnkey vehicle with upgrade brakes (front / rear), suspension, larger wheels/tires, carbon fiber body kit, 3/36 warranty. We are doing a limited run of just 24 cars. Cost is $109,500 and we have sold more that half of our production run.

Now there may be some who might just want to do the LS9 engine swap and not do all the other upgrades listed above. For just the engine swap we are now offering this for $39,500. Sure that is a lot of jack. However, the LS9 motor is going to cost just under $30k with all of the accessories you need (AC compressor, etc.) to make it work. It is not just a simple drop in and fire it up program. There are a number of things that need to be changed or modified to make the LS9 work such as clutch, flywheel, hoses, wiring, tuning, exhaust and fuel system.

Thanks again for your interest and we will keep you updated on the progress of this car. Still waiting on some parts to come in before we can fire it up.

Its just a better idea to start with the SS in my opinion.

Our engine calibrator just spent a day tuning the software in an otherwise stock L99 automatic. The performance increase in the response and shifts of the transmission are very impressive. I am willing to offer this upgrade to any L99 owner at no cost up front. Send us your computer, we re-program it and overnite it back to you. If you like it, THEN you pay us. If you are not totally impressed then send it back and we will program it back to stock. It is that good. I will start a new thread about this.

We can tune the ECM for stock, cold air, catback, headers, supercharger or any combination of these mods. But it is very impressive on an otherwise stock L99 Camaro!
