Arrow Building a 1,000+ whp Camaro SS

This beautiful 2018 Camaro SS 1LE (2,000 miles on it) came into our shop wanting to make 1,000 whp.

- F1A-94 Procharger Supercharger System

- RPM Custom Camshaft Package (Includes - RPM Custom Spec’d Comp Cam w/ Increased Fuel Flow Lobe, Brian Tooley Racing Dual Valve Spring Kit, Brian Tooley Racing 3/8" Hardened Pushrods, ARP Head Stud Kit, Katech C5R Timing Chain, GM LS7 Lifters w/ GM Lifter Trays, GM MLS Cylinder Head Gaskets, Katech Valley Cover, Comp Phaser Limiter, GM VVT Cam Bolt, BTR 160* Thermostat, GM Crank Bolt, GM RTV Sealant, Mobil 1 Oil & Filter Change and NGK Spark Plugs

So like any car that comes through are shop we got it strapped down on the dyno to get some baseline numbers.



Then came time for the build.



Our guys made quick work removing the engine and trans.
(see the video above for full timelapse)

We then removed the weakest link... the rods and pistons






Measuring and cutting rings, labeling and staying organized.








New bearings as well.


Drop in pistons going in




New Monster LT1-S Triple disc on as well as the stock heads (upgraded valve springs and pushrods)




More in our video's about it going together.



Our Meth setup
















And the final numbers and video

Incredible build, noobie question here... Are these Pro charger kits more reliable than a Whipple charger?

Only better place to put it would be behind the tail pipe.
