Building the Tom Henry RS

 

The idea behind the Tom Henry RS project is simple: modify a fourth generation Camaro powered by the 3800 Series II V6 to the point that some of its performance characteristics compare with those of the, new, fifth-gen V6 Camaro.

Base 5G Camaros come with a 312-hp version GM's 3.6-liter, four-cam, direct-injected V6. Our project car build-up will modify the 4th gen car's 3.8 liter V6 to that near that level. In addition we're doing some performance enhancement to the car's suspension and brakes to improve the car's handling and stopping to the point they'll equal or even exceed that of the 5th-gen car.

The Tom Henry RS project–the name comes from the famed, Tom Henry SS Camaros the Bakerstown, PA Chevy dealer sold in 2001 and 2002–was begun back in 2003 for an article in Popular Hot Rodding magazine. In 2005 it was greatly expanded to a series of six articles, for Camaro Performers magazine ending in early 2007. In 2010, parts of the project covering the engine modifications were repackaged and published in a three-part series in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine.

Finally, starting in 2008, the project has been completely rewritten, expanded, enhanced with more photos and posted here on the Camaro Homepage. We hope you enjoy it.
