Sporting a 1200hp LS7 based engine, Mike DuSolds 1967 Chevrolet Camaro has been 'slightly' modified for competition motorsport anywhere from sea level, to 14,000ft (4,300m). Time attack, hill climbs, street car challenges, this car does it all and more. With power at altitude a major focus of the current specs, the Dart Machinery block, 6 bolt GM Performance Parts LandSpeed Developments ported cylinder head and Shauns Custom Alloy intake are just a few parts that help the car produce torque low down and keep the 88mm Garrett turbo forcing air as it should. A MoTeC ECU is used with a custom Motorsport Electronics firmware package is used to control this race cars somewhat unique setup.
Some clever suspension design and adjustment points which allow quick motion ratio changes that don't impact on overall car setup is just one feature the custom tube framed chassis offers with a transaxle rear (SADEV and Corvette combo) and approx 1450kg total weight.
Mike also gives a great explanation on camber gain and their prototype/simplified rocket antilag system (ALS) that has been so successful there has been no need to produce the 'real' version just yet with some more testing and insight required to understand what makes what shouldn't work on paper amazing in reality. Another surprise discovery in the quest for peak performance racing up the side of a mountain was the exhaust size and pressure ratios seeing the setup run what a N/A engine normally would with again the real data tearing up the notebook.

You should have him on the podcast if haven't already, Mike clearly knows his stuff 😄

[@hpa101]

I don't think we've tried to schedule anything yet but he is on the podcast 'wish list' for sure! - Taz.

[@pinklightfever]

@@hpa101 get him on!

[@ATomRileyA]

That rocket anti lag is pretty cool, can have full boost at idle nice to see more people using it.

[@bennyb.1742]

I dream of rocket anti lag on a rotary.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I support your dream it would be absolutely ridiculous.

[@pazsion]

It basically is after 2 or more rotors, you just optimize one of them to be less parasitic and lighter, and wants to keep spinning, a lower compression for more fuel... into a higher compression rotor . take one exhaust, put it in the intake of the next. if you want, thats where you put your ramjet or jet engine. scavenge the first and boost the next while burning any unburned fuel

[@Dondes787]

“The tires really wanna be able to react to the weight in the middle of them” Thanks for the insight on the “polar moment” Really good explanation 🙏 so much good info

[@Maulzy23]

Great interview. It's almost Steve Dulcitch's younger engineer brother.

[@n4thawin]

So many golden nuggets in this interview.

[@briankuhn7396]

I've been a "car guy" since I started wrenching in the 90s, and I learned a bunch. I knew the concepts of camber gain, motion ratio, etc, but I never knew the terms. Awesome!

[@k20ee96]

Very interesting. This guy really knows his stuff, all the answers to the questions right there in his head 👍

[@MisterMonsieur]

Don't be fooled by Mr. DuSold's hoodie. For all his knowledge, he should be wearing a lab coat! 🤣

[@briankuhn7396]

And he can explain the concepts!

[@drewsmith3673]

These are always wonderfully interesting and insightful. I always learn something. Not to take away from any of your previous guests, but Mike did an excellent job explaining what can be quite complicated concepts. Andre always has the best questions, which helps tremendously. A standout episode for me, personally. Thanks for sharing, guys. Top shelf quality, as always.

[@UNKNOWN-zb3qm]

OMG 😮 13:04 Hard vacuum lines ❤

[@ZLAKLR20B]

wow, what a tecnomental (a new term) machine, love it. so much cool in this set up.

[@WRCDMB]

This guy did an amazing break down video on his page when he was developing his rocket anti lag system

[@chaserivers4058]

It’s amazing how smart some people are…. I could pick his brain all day…

[@jasonbrower1]

Phenomenal content, and Mike was an excellent and very informative guest. I definitely agree he could contribute to a great episode of the podcast.

[@StarsAutoSport]

Nuts! What a special build.

[@R.B_B]

I love those interviews. Nice to see how many talent people are out there. And the right questions and the video description details is great.

[@aaronmcconnell9369]

Awesome. Very interesting interview. Never realized that car was so impressively developed. Cool stuff

[@spdcrzy]

SUCH an iconic car. I recognized it well before I even really saw the thumbnail.

[@indopleaser]

This has to be the fastest camero on a race track

[@marktiltins8845]

I learnt,. Correct , you didn't remember what someone else had done . Very cool 👍😎

[@brentcarver149]

Best build techy reviews on KZbin, keep it up!

[@GTFour]

I'd love to have the rocket anti lag system for a time attack build with a big turbo

[@memario2004]

This was a great interview and Mike shared some great knowledge. Great stuff 👍

[@alexpetro240sx]

Yes I've wanted to see more anti-lag systems on cars. So kol

[@Boostedm3nace]

That viper at @11:06 had a very similar livery to the original F&F Mitsubishi Eclipse.

[@ray_s281]

Great vid, love the insight into the suspension. Dusold is clever.

[@EB240]

This build is amazing, next level cool. i would love to hear the indepth about the rocket anti-lag system.

[@grendelum]

some wild engineering goin into that car… wow.

[@datdudeinred]

Omg that's a ton of knowledge in that brain. Almost Adrian Newey level of knowledge we are talking about atleast in terms of suspension geometries & easily much more knowledge in the infamous ROCKET . 🙌👏

[@hpa101]

Yes there is a lot of great information rattled off quite casually around the suspension setup! - Taz.

[@arlequin241]

This guest is on point 👊

[@Zermattquattro]

I agree and the interview also knew his stuff. It was a real pleasure to listen to (proper) tech questions answered so concisely.

[@JohnRae]

great interview!

[@markcozzie]

Is this the KZbinr Motoiq? His old s2000 had rocket anti lag,epic car

[@Frietpan]

thats pretty cool, lots of good info! wish i could have heard it in action tho

[@licence1001011]

I'm drooling 🤤

[@dogmoo]

Mr DuSolds. With regards to your pressure differential problem and how it pertained to changing the headers to an NA style. You eluded to the problem bein centered around the the fact that you couldn't get the heat out. That would imply the problem being less related to spool and "efficiency" and more due to the negative side effects of running short ram headers. The reason that this is important is it should in theory be a trade off. The longer runners should (before the aid of antilag) hurt performance. But if you can keep the snail spun up with other means you can work around the big manifolds. Kinda of best of both worlds?

[@dogmoo]

finally finished. Yes. make this available. Just make it a box and let me pull on the levers and such. I don't care If I melt it down, I want to try, for the love of god make a controller.

[@breay85]

What a cool dude

[@marktiltins8845]

Yeah that was great 👍

[@davidciesielski8251]

Wow!!! Great, Great Great

[@maxxrelax88]

im super keen to know more on the rocket ALS as my ralliart colt has a small motor and i want a turbo way to big for my own good, rocket ALS will solve the endless lag :)

[@user-mm1se7gy7e]

I haven't had any Turbo lag issues in years .

[@Thumper68]

The 67-68 Camaro is a much better handling car originally then given credit for. You definitely want front and rear spoilers. The front especially.

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Mike won optima ultimate street car a few times! Car is getting crazy. I was at that event. Set the road course record for gt class there in a mostly stock 2016 camaro ss.

[@hpa101]

A 'well done' on your own performance there is required too by the sounds of it. Nice work 😎 - Taz.

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

@@hpa101 thank you sir!

[@ATR-_]

My dream is to build a proper Pike's Peak/Hill Climb racer

[@Boostedm3nace]

Group B used this same anti-lag.

[@mm6705]

Is the motion ratio quick change feature of this car only due to its completely custom setup? I'm curious how this is the very first time I've even heard the phrase "motion ratio" and I was in the miata racing world, and track/tuning world for quite a while. Seems like the ideal way to adjust your car.

[@vinmandich7756]

I like some of the content have learned from it my only gripes are something I have never noticed before in my 40 yrs on this earth . So here it is some of these guys actually all have a well known base and background of wtf they are there to be interviewed about. With that they know how to explain something 99 percent of the time to the point where whoever is listening will understand . Them the host immediately says.!??! "ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS BLABLABLA AND REPEATS WHOEVER HE IS INTERVIEWING EXACTLY WHAT HE JUST EXPLAINED . IN A WY he thinks it is or whatever all I know is when you say essentially my brain instantly say here we go . Idk why i have no issues with the man I actually like his way of teaching and explaining things it's just when darim Morgan is explaining how aborts flow characteristics are there really is only Darin Morgan standing there ..good video I'm interested in thile design

[@sidbobby3233]

With these changes he mentioned to the heads ie ports would he run norrower port size because of altitude changes and aid low down talk & spoll? 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍 nothing but thanks & love frm the uk 👍

[@brianbob7514]

Rocket anti lag, who knew

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Rocket A/L everything

[@gothicpagan.666]

Clearly one of the fastest if not prettiest

[@hpa101]

Absolutely. That's one area out of the box the car excels at 😎 - Taz.

[@marktiltins8845]

Like a scram jet

[@ASEWorldClassTech]

Okay MR. HP Academy. So if you run a "Rocket anti-lag with putting a valve in each exhaust manifold port for anti-lag. How can you tune for those times when obviously the fresh air introduced into the exhaust? It's obviously going to make everything read Lean. lol

[@buiItnotbought]

Is this with the full carbon body or before?

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

You can look at the patents of prodrive

[@dogmoo]

sadev sequential? did this man invent the fork?

[@johnrborowski]

RELEASE THE ROCKET :)

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

Who ever said that a Camaro could never beat a Corvette? Had none of these people ever heard of Big Red?

[@ZLAKLR20B]

is there some footage of this car running somewhere?

[@hpa101]

Yes sir! We didn't have any of our own to add sadly but there is some great footage of the car at Pikes Peak here on KZbin 😎 - Taz.

[@hpa101]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6CakIqBgtt0sK8

[@grad012rhs]

When’re they bring this car to Forza? Lol

[@tjj15401]

They were right! u couldn't beat a corvette with the camaro lol u had to build stock car and just threw some camaro body panels on it 🤣

[@DDRDK]

Lol 😂 that was a long round about way of saying "yes everyone was correct, you cannot make an old Camaro better than a corvette." This guy just told us how he had to change literally the entire car in order to get there, lmao. Don't get me wrong it's bad ass but don't go saying "everyone said you couldn't make an old Camaro fast on the track" then proceed to tell us you have to basically make an entirely new chassis to do so. They were effectively correct at that point.

[@kelevra558]

Improperly designed suspension geometry renders bad camber gain/bump steer which causes one to think OH FUCK IM GONNA DIE! At 140 mph adrenaline spikes are a very very bad thing. Adrenaline causes one to make rash decisions and correct when you should have just dug in, poured a little more pepper on and let the cars geometry sort you out. Just like in a gunfight. When I was just an infantry grunt in Fallujah, my patrol squadron got orders to assist a super salty squad of Army Rangers who were pinned down by a pretty experienced group of enemy commandos. These 7 men were pinned down behind some sandstone brick defilade with AK-47 fire coming in from their 10:00 all the way to their 2:00 rendering their cover smaller and smaller. When we acquired contact, it was like having a conversation with a buddy who's wife left him home alone with the kids. You could hear a bit of stress but in no way were they freaking out. "Oh hey boys. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear Marines on the rover right now uh...so yeah how far out are you guys?" We answered that question by telling them to drop prone and lit the enemy the fuck up from behind with the ma deuce on the back of the HUMV I was driving. We eradicated the threat with extreme prejudice and got them outta there. One of them got a purple heart, another guy got some glass in his eye. That's it. Like the song goes "if the Army or the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes they'll be glad the streets are guarded by UNITED STATE MARINES!!!!" I had their sarge in my vehicle and he literally hugged and kissed me on the cheek. Told me "man that was dumb the way you flew in there like that but, it worked so fuck it. Who's the beautiful bastard on the deuce I'm gonna French him!!" Our sarge swung down into the cab and said "You do mean HER right sergeant?" The ranger looked at me wide eyed. I just closed my eyes and nodded with a small smile. He then proceeded to ask her to marry him, which at that I lost my composure. I started laughing so hard tears were coming out of my eyes. All of us were. Making chicken Parm when all you have is dog shit is what we do. What we have to do. What else? Lay down and cry for mammie??

[@curvs4me]

People that have it keep saying JET😂. It's in the name. No jet compressor section so it is a ROCKET. This is gonna be mainstream soon. Wait and see. People are already using superchargers and turbos to eliminate lag.

[@jdmjesus6103]

Not strictly true, pretty sure it's taking compressed air from the intake side. Interesting take though

[@Surestick88]

Errrr... The turbo has both a compressor and a turbine so it's a turbine, not a rocket. You can build a functioning jet engine by putting a combustor on a turbo between the compressor and turbine, that's what this is with the added complexity of a piston engine thrown in to complicate things.

[@curvs4me]

@@Surestick88 The rocket 🚀 is not part of the turbo. it's an annular combustor in the exhaust flow that ignites the enriched exhaust to spool the exhaust turbine compressor wheel of the turbo that is downstream of the rocket. Yes a fun fact, a turbo can be used to make a low budget turbojet. Search the prodrive wrc rocket anti lag
