The Tjin Edition RoadShow 2010 Chevy Camaro SS, in conjunction with General Motors and Real AutoWorks, will be debuting in the Air Lift booth (#23633) at the SEMA show on November 3.

The Tjin Edition RoadShow team, led by Neil Tjin, received their brand new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS with less than 20 miles on the odometer. Having planned out the design well before the arrival of the new icon, Neil and the team at Real AutoWorks in La Habra, Calif., got right to work and within days had the LS3 motor pulled, the interior completely gutted, and the rest of the car disassembled.

On its exterior, the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS features super slick yet subtle modifications. The factory black paint has been replaced with a custom DuPont Cromax Pro two-tone green hue; on the outside, the Camaro's body has been sprayed in a custom metallic green, while the engine bay and body accents were sprayed in a darker matte green finish. To accentuate the exterior of the car, Revolution Styling supplied a front lip spoiler and vented hood, LightWurkz remodeled the Camaro's headlights, taillights and fog lights with LED technology, and Ignited HID provided the lighting for the head- and fog lights.

When the time came for the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS to be outfitted with rollers, Neil and iForged worked together and created a one-off set of 22 and 24-inch iForged Seneka wheels finished with carbon-fiber barrels, brushed faces and black bolts. The custom three-piece iForged wheels are matched up with an equally impressive set of Falken FK-452 tires measuring 255/30 22 up front and 275/25 24 in the rear.

To keep the SS under control, SSBC designed a custom big brake kit especially for the build, which included bright purple eight-piston calipers along with crossed-drilled and slotted rotors.

The fully digital air system suspension provided by Air Lift helps to bring it all together. The digital setup allows the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro SS to be lowered or raised with the simple push of a button, all while maintaining its stellar handling capabilities. Finishing off the suspension and handling upgrades on the SS, PFADT Race Engineering stepped up and provided front and rear sport bars.

Real AutoWorks showed off their creative skills with the transformation of the Camaro interior and in-car entertainment system. It was responsible for rewrapping the entire Camaro interior in a custom t-tech and suede material, which features purple double stitching throughout to match the purple SSBC calipers. The stock Camaro seats and gauges were replaced in favor of carbon-fiber Status Racing/Tjin Edition RoadShow racing seats and a plethora of GlowShift digital gauges.

The Camaro's in-car entertainment is highlighted by two 12-inch Realm Audio flat subwoofers, two amplifiers, two component speaker sets and an Azentek smart mirror which features a touch-screen LCD monitor, built in Bluetooth, integrated GPS navigation, and rearview camera. Real AutoWorks customized the trunk section with custom speaker boxes, an amp rack, NX carbon-fiber bottle holder, and an enclosure for the Odyssey batteries and Air Lift tanks and compressors.

Finishing off the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro is an engine bay that will have people talking, thanks to the guys at Vortech and JE Pistons. Turnkey Engine Supply rebuilt the stock LS3 motor. The block was disassembled, de-burred, honed to a 4.070" finished bore size, and then finally cleaned for assembly. Turnkey then measured each component to verify the clearance was correct for a forced induction application.

The engine was then assembled with a K1 Technologies four-inch stroke forged crankshaft, K1 Technologies 6.125-inch H-beam billet rods, JE Pistons forged "FSR" Pistons, 8.8:1 compression ratio, JE Pro Seal Rings: 1.2mm steel nitrided top rings, 1.5mm Napier second rings, 3.0mm low tension oil rings, ACL Main and Rod Bearings, ARP Head Studs and Turnkey Engine Supply Pushrods. Once the 415 cubic inch motor was reinstalled, all the fluids were topped off and Royal Purple XPR 5W-30 motor oil was poured into the motor.

Next it was time to bolt on the Vortech supercharger, American Racing headers, MagnaFlow exhaust, BDL Automotive fuel rails, and Nitrous Express direct port set-up. Vortech not only provided the supercharger kit, but they were also responsible for the installation, tuning and calibration of the car.

A S.P.E.C. twin-disk clutch was installed to go with the new power that can be found under the hood of this Camaro. For aesthetics, the engine bay was outfitted with BDL Automotive clamps, GM Addiction billet caps, and a Unique Auto Design carbon-fiber fuse box cover and engine shroud.

Make sure to check out the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro at the SEMA Show from November 3 to 6 in the main hall in the Air Lift booth (#23633). If you can't make it to SEMA this year, don't worry - the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro will be on display around the country in 2010 as part of the Tjin Edition RoadShow.
