This Chevrolet Chevette was built by Dario, the owner of Infamous Automotive in Calgary, Alberta. The entire chassis was removed to make way for a 25.1 spec tube chassis and roll cage certified for going 6.0 sec in the 1/4. Power comes from an aluminum 5.3 L L33 LSx V8 with two 72/68 turbochargers controlled by a MS3Pro engine management system. On a dyno the engine made 565 horsepower and 823 lb-ft of torque to the rear 275 radials. Handling that power is a Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission and narrowed Ford 9″ rear end. On low boost setting (12 psi) the Chevette went 9.84 sec at 142 mph on E92 fuel (video below).

Nice car, my buddy Jordan Frank shared this post, he has a red turbo LS Chevette. Those Ansen mags, the tubbing…that stance. Hot looking car.
Sounds like another great project. Does he have a build thread?
You can look up LSX Red Rocket Chevette. His is 4dr too.
I appreciate sharing this project with me. I’ll try to write an article about it. For others who might want to read about it now https://www.facebook.com/RedRocketChevette/
I’m about to start my build. 5.3L in a 1980 2dr Chevette. Gonna keep it street though.
Sounds like a great project. Do you have a build thread, FB page, or Instagram with the build progress?
