The Story

This 2010 Camaro SS isn't a build — it's a rebuild from the crank up. Sevion came to us with a clear brief: take a 5th-gen platform and put together a powertrain that will outlast the body around it.

The heart is a Texas Speed Performance "Reaper" short block — a 434-cubic-inch Dart LS Next iron motorsport block stuffed with a forged rotating assembly. The OEM aluminum block in a 5th-gen Camaro is good for maybe 700 horsepower before things start coming apart. The Dart LS Next? It'll take everything the rest of this combo throws at it and keep asking for more. On top sit a pair of Trick Flow GenX 235 CNC-ported aluminum heads — big valves, big flow, designed exactly for the kind of high-RPM, high-cylinder-pressure environment that lives between this short block and the twin turbos sitting on the other side of the firewall.

Speaking of which — the boost comes from a Hellion 2010-2015 Camaro SS Twin Turbo System. Hellion's the gold standard for OE-fit twin turbo kits on this platform: bolts in where the factory exhaust manifolds used to live, plumbs cleanly to a front-mount intercooler, and is built for the kind of horsepower targets that turn the Camaro into a different car entirely.

Power lands at a built 6L80 automatic with a Circle D-built torque converter stall-tuned to the combination — Circle D is the converter most boosted LS builds chase, for good reason. From there it goes through a G-Force 1320 aluminum IRS rear that replaces the OEM unit's tendency to grenade itself under boost.

The chassis got the same treatment. Full BMR Suspension rear kit — trailing arms, toe rods, control arms — dials in the geometry to actually hook on launch. Ride height is handled by Air Lift Performance air struts and an Air Lift compressor management system, so the car can sit slammed in a parking lot and clear a speed bump on the way home.

Dyno results for this build are kept private at Sevion's request — the numbers live in our internal records only.
