Although he got his start with cars that can cover street and strip duty, Cleetus McFarland made the decision in spring 2024 to have Cameron Johnson Race Cars in Lakeland, Florida construct a ’69 Chevrolet Camaro for 5-second blasts on the quarter-mile. Despite the car having minimum testing, Cleetus and crew debuted the car in competition at the World Cup Finals at Maryland International Raceway (MDIR) and clocked a best of 5.89 at 246 mph.

At the conclusion of the event, Cleetus revealed the car needed some changes and updates. In the process of trying to get the car finished in time to qualify to be eligible for the World Cup Finals, the CJRC crew thrashed on the Camaro, but they discovered some areas that needed help. After returning to Florida from Maryland, Cleetus sent the car to CJRC for those changes, as well as getting engine back to Pro Line Racing for a refresh and inspection.

And then a dyno session was discussed…

The evolution of engine building and making big horsepower has really ramped up in the last decade! Although there are classes that keep those power figures in check with weight and power-adder restrictions, seeing the potential of what’s available to consumers is still eye-opening!

Before his first Sick Week appearance in 2023, ‘Snot Rocket 2.0’ made 2506 horsepower on a hub dyno. With upgraded Precision turbochargers in place for 2024, how much power could Brett and the Real Street team make?

Just recently, Jeff showed up at FuelTech’s facility in Georgia for a session on their hub dyno with his Pro Mod style ‘69 Camaro!
