Fifth-Gen Chevy Camaro Turbo Kit - Under Pressure
The nerve of these guys, affixing a name as hallowed as "ZL1" to a small-blockThe nerve of these guys, affixing a name as hallowed as "ZL1" to a small-block. That's what the forced induction gurus at Fastlane Inc. call their fifth-gen Camaro turbo kits, and they better have a pretty darn good reason for flirting with heresy. You see, back in 1969, the ZL1 Camaro was the big cheese. A special-order COPO package built to clean house in NHRA Super Stock competition, the ZL1 option got you an all-aluminum 427ci big-block complete with a solid-lifter cam conservatively rated at 425 hp. In one infamous magazine test conducted by Super Stock & Drag Illustrated, the ZL1 Camaro ripped off an 11.64-second pass at 122 mph in the quarter-mile with Funny Car stud Dick Harrell behind the wheel. What made that test the stuff of legend is that, outside of long-tube headers, a carb swap, and ignition timing and valve lash tweaks, the aluminum Rat motor was otherwise stock. So can a new fifth-gen Camaro-saddled with a near 1,000-pound weight handicap and an IRS-really lay down some numbers worthy of its namesake? You bet your sweet hiney.
