BERGER CHEVROLET LAUNCHES 550-HP CAMARO SS 1LE EDITION

Katech engine upgrades, visual enhancements build on 50-year performance legacy.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — Berger Chevrolet has elevated the performance and style of the track-focused Camaro SS 1LE with the new “Berger 1LE Edition” package.

Featuring Katech engine upgrades that push output to 550 horsepower and 485 lb.-ft. of torque, along with exclusive exterior appointments, the new 1LE Edition offers comparable power to the Camaro ZL1 with natural aspiration. The lack of a supercharger and intercooling system helps maintain the 1LE’s 80-pound weight advantage.

“The Camaro SS 1LE is one of the most capable cars on the street or track and we’ve taken it to the next level with more power and a more distinctive appearance,” said Matt Berger, President. “With these enhancements, we’ve upped the fun quotient, while advancing our long history of offering Camaros with more.”

When it comes to the 1LE Edition’s distinguishers, highlights include:



· Katech Engine Upgrade 550 HP / 485 Ft. Lbs. Torque
· Katech Cylinder Heads
· Katech Camshaft
· Katech CNC Ported Throttle Body
· High Speed Lifters
· Coil Relocation with Color-Keyed Valve Cover Treatment

· Berger Prescribed Power Under Hood Decal
· Billet By Berger Under Hood Emblem
· Black By Berger Tail Panel Emblem
· Custom Black Factory Look 1LE Fender Badges
· Custom Black Factory Look 1LE Front and Rear Badges

What doesn’t change with Berger’s unique edition is the track-proven chassis system that gives the production 1LE more than 1g capability on the track, including its performance suspension system with Magnetic Ride Control and an electronic limited-slip rear differential. It also features Brembo six-piston monoblock front brake calipers, four-piston rear calipers and two-piece brake rotors, measuring 15.4 inches (390mm) in front and 14.4 inches (365mm) in the rear.

The wheels and tires include 20-in. x 10-in. aluminum front wheels wrapped in 285/30R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires and 20-in. x 11-in. aluminum rear wheels wrapped in 305/30R20 Eagle F1s.

Additional content includes a front splitter, three-piece blade style spoiler, dual mode exhaust, Recaro front seats, a sueded flat-bottom steering wheel and sueded shift knob for the six-speed close ratio manual transmission.

550hp would for sure be sweet in the 1LE!

One thing I noticed is if you are leaving the brakes unchanged from a standard SS 1LE, it actually comes with the same front brakes (rotors/calipers) as an ATS-V which are 14.5 inch diameter. The rears are the same as a standard SS or ATS-V at 13.3 inches in diameter. I believe the diameters you list are for the ZL1.

Other than the badges (cuz we don't need no stinkin' badges) I like the paint work.

Is the cam compatible with the stock converter in the A8?

I know in the past you don't fiddle with headers unless it came in with them, so I'm guessing this has the stock manifolds?

Very nice package, guys!

Yes on automatics with a stock converter.

Yes, it has factory manifolds and cats. There is more power to unlock if you install headers.

the car looks good and love the power #s but not a fan of the extra badges sorry guys!

Very tastefully done! Some headers and high flow cats would have really finished it off. Does Katech do IM porting to match the TB?

[Illmaticz]

Looks good. You guys are close to Canada. Might stop by next time I drive down to Windsor.

No, it's a standard MSD intake (with the exception of the smoothing and satin black paint)
