When Dave was just 19 years old, he bought his '00 Camaro new. For the first few years he meticulously detailed the Camaro and won several car shows in Stock classes. After a few dozen events he needed something more exciting, so he decided to make the engine larger and add a blower. With some help from the guys at Morgan Motorsports in Reseda, California, an ATI-1SC supercharger providing 12 psi, and a reworked big-bore LS1 motor, the F-body missiles easily into sub-9-second e.t.'s.
