I Wanna Be Your Sledgehammer: Callaway Announces 610-hp Camaro
When Callaway was working on its C7 program, ultimately resulting in a 627-hp Corvette Stingray and a 757-horse Z06, the venerable tuning company had an eye on Chevy?s next car powered by the LT-series small-block: the Camaro. And now they?ve loosed the bindings on their version of the sixth-generation of GM?s long-running coupe. The result is called the Camaro SC610 and, as you?ve likely surmised, the reworked LT1 engine makes a healthy 610 horsepower.
The majority of the extra meat comes courtesy of the Eaton TVS2300 Roots-type blower, the largest unit in the TVS line. Eaton?s unit is the core of what Callaway refers to as its GenThree supercharger system. In classic hot-rod style, the forced-induction pack makes use of a hole in the hood. But in the SC610?s case, it?s not to make room for a big ol? 6-71 wearing an Enderle bugcatcher. Rather, the bonnet?s been opened up to expose the supercharger to cooler ambient air. An intercooler system features one main cooling element bolstered by two additional units to keep charge temperatures manageable. The SC610 also receives a high-flow cold-air intake.
