For Immediate Release:
Schwartz at 2008 Run and Gun
Jeff Schwartz, founder of Schwartz Extreme Performance in a very short time has made a name for himself and his company. In 2003 his Road Racing, 11 second ¼ mile, 1982 Cadillac powered Fleetwood graced the pages of both Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines.
The latter after winning the Car Craft Real Street Eliminator title, an event that combines drag racing and autocross performances along with judged criteria.
An accomplished machinist and engine builder for many years, Schwartz has become an expert on GM LSx engines. Specifically the latest LS3 and LS7 variants of the current GM V8 engine.
With a growing global customer base in 15 countries, Schwartz built and delivered 27 modified LS7 engines alone in 2007. In July 2008 his 730 hp normally aspirated, pump gas LS7 was featured in both Car Craft and Chevy High Performance Magazines.
He has built numerous twin turbo street engines in excess of 1000 hp and has logged over 12,000 street and track miles on one such LS engine in his personal Ultima GTR kit. That car has seen over 47,000 total miles of street and track use.
Schwartz intends to share his knowledge of the LS1-LS9 engines in a 1 hour seminar at the 2008 Run and Gun event.
Schwartz teamed up with a racing chassis designer and was the first to market a replacement handling style chassis for Chevelles and other GM A body cars in 2005, a 6 page feature story appeared in Chevy High Performance magazine shortly thereafter.
In 2006 another innovative product appeared in the Schwartz lineup, a line of full chassis to upgrade the unibody of Mustangs, Camaros, and Novas.
2007 saw the 1953-1962 Corvette chassis added and the 1970-1981 Camaro, Firebird full frame.
Schwartz now offers the most extensive line of bolt in upgrade full frames than anyone, with over 10 models.
With the availability of complete reproduction bodies for Mustangs and Camaros, Schwartz Extreme Performance now offers Muscle Car body chassis kits and well as a 1948-1953 Chevrolet Pick-up and C1 Corvette kits.
Schwartz will have a Camaro full frame, with a 620hp LS3 engine on display at Run and Gun 2008.
In the last 5 years Schwartz and his unique and innovative creations have appeared in 161 Magazines, Newspapers, Television and Radio shows. To learn more about Jeff Schwartz and the services offered by Schwartz Extreme Performance, visit the website: www.schwartzperformance.com
As you can tell this event is as much for spectators as it is for the participants. If you come as a spectator you will leave RNG with a better knowledge of what you want and what stage you will be comfortable attempting. You will be able to ask questions of the pro's on the construction, assembly, engine choices, and tire selection etc. Plus, did I mention THE SWAP MEET that will be going on during the entire event to help save you some money.
