The famous Big Red Camaro races on asphalt, dry lakes, and even salt. The team went to Bonneville Speed Week 2018 and set a new record of 258.596 mph in the AA/CBFALT class with RJ Gottlieb behind the wheel. The official time came from a 264.271 mph qualifying run and 252.922 mph return run. The Camaro made the record using a supercharged 555 ci big-block V8 that makes 1,750 horsepower and 1,250 lb-ft of torque on 20 psi of boost. The engine features Dart block, Brodix heads, forged internals, F3A ProCharger, blow-through carburetor, mechanical fuel rail system, and a custom manual boost-controlled distributor created by Dave Ward.
