Kurt Urban of W2W did the honors on the Camaro’s maiden voyage as the crew got everything all dialed in before Dave takes the wheel.

As if just building a 1,700hp LS1 wasn’t enough. If you can believe it, this engine was built from spare parts in a bunch of guys’ spare time as a dare to be the first to run 6 seconds in the quarter-mile with an LS1 V-8, which they achieved in a borrowed race car. As unbelievable as it sounds, it’s true, and you’re going to find out how this wild LS1 went together and what it means to the future of making power with the LS family.

So it was that Kurt Urban and the crew at Michigan’s Wheel-to-Wheel Powertrain knew where to go to boast to the world of their efforts to post the fastest quarter-mile elapsed time with a Gen III-powered vehicle. That’s also how they knew that their 7.43-second pass last June was faster than the 7.47 at 184.46 mph previously set by CV Performance in Australia but slower than the 7.14 set by rivals Hardcore Motorsports a few weeks later…..

Making in to Hot Rod Magazine with the Nova was a huge accomplishment for Kurt and the W2W team, but making the top 10 list with the car was unbelievable.

It’s no secret I’m bent on beaters. The single fact that people willscream, “How does that junk make it in the Top 10?!” makes me want toput it there. And even though crusty street racers are nothing new, thiscompetitor in HOT ROD’s Pump Gas Drags(TM) and upcoming Drag Week(TM)events has plenty new: like a 402ci Gen III small-block stuffed with twonew Rotrex superchargers for 1,160 hp that’s all tucked under the hood.It’s tucked everywhere else, too, with ingenious packaging of theintercoolers and dual fuel systems for total driveability and anytimepower.
