Superior built the engine in the Camaro to a 416 using a Callies Dragon Slayer 4" forged crank, Manley rods and Weisco pistons. They do beautifull work.

Here is the carnage from when Tad tuned the Camaro at Haddad's. The spark plugs on #7 and #5 cylinders burned the ground strap almost all the way back to the bend. The inside of the engine looked like a leopard with discolored hot spots. One pistons ringland pinched the ring and it caused scratches to the cylinder walls. Made 750rwhp and 800tq once.

Not so much as a call back from Mike at Haddad ever since.

Thanks for the help guys

Great numbers! Easy 11's in the 1/4.

Doing great. Had Ryne at CMS tune it.

Now the only problem is traction. Low boost is currently 7-8psi and it fishtails all over the place on the 22's or the 20's with Nitto NT05R's. Going to put a 5lb Waste Gate spring in it for low boost. When more is needed I just have to hit the botton on the boost controller. I can go as high as 16psi or more if I wanted to.

The install of the methanol kit was done wrong at Haddad at the solenoid got fried so I am waiting for a new one from Coolingmist so I can start spraying 100% meth and put some more timing in it.

Since every shop in SoCal has worked on your car, what work did Haddad do?

Haddad installed the methanol kit, boost controller and tune. The methanol kit was installed wrong burning out the solenoid and leaving a rats nest of wires. No wire loom or even electrical tape. Leaking meth container and the pillar pod hanging from broken clip.

They also pinched the oil return lines from the turbo. When I went to pick it up it was smoking like a NASCAR car when the engine lets go. Mike's shop filled with smoke in a manner of seconds. Had to have it towed home. The exhaust was full of oil along with over a quart in the intercooler and all the way to the TB and intake. Had to buy new lines and clean out all the oil as best I could but getting everything out of the intercooler good luck.

BTW, the only shop that worked on it has been Superior and as I already said they do great work. Should have let them do the install of the meth and boost controller but I tried Haddad in part because of your recommendations. I have dyno'd at many of SoCals shops though, almost all of them, lol.

Yah it sux Jimmy it didn't work out for you. I know I recommended him to you. I haven't had any issues with Mikes work. Hope your car is ready for some track time and I really hope Fontana reopens.

It's all good. You know you live and learn. As the saying goes you have to pay to play and the engine well that is just part of the game.

What got me was Mike not calling me back after I told him about the oil lines and other things. Cost me a lot of time and money to fix.



Fontana will reopen for sure. I spoke to some of the empolyees at Famoso and they will be building a wall to keep the noise down. Right now suspension/wheels/tires is what is needed.

I went to the track on 7-8psi and only mustered a 11.8 spinning the whole way. Heck I did better(11.6) on the 22's at Fontana NA with juice.
