Revving Up the Classics: Redblockpowered’s Game-Changing Saab APC Tuning Kit

The Legacy of Saab Tuning Lives On

While modern Saabs have embraced advanced electronics and software for performance upgrades, classic models like the Saab 900 Turbo and 9000 Turbo require a hands-on approach. Enter Redblockpowered, a tuning house that has taken up the challenge of keeping these legends alive with its innovative APC tuning kits. With roots in Volvo performance, Redblockpowered has leveraged its expertise to enhance Saab’s iconic Automatic Performance Control (APC) system, delivering modern performance gains to vintage classics.

A Passion for Performance: Cameron Samodai’s Vision

At the helm of Redblockpowered is Cameron Samodai, an enthusiast dedicated to preserving and enhancing classic cars. Based in Swampscott, MA, Cameron combines his passion for Saab with technical mastery, offering kits designed to unlock the hidden potential of Saab’s LH-Jetronic 2.4 fuel systems. “I’d love for all this stuff to be dyno-tested and proven, not just seat-of-the-pants improvements,” Cameron says, reflecting his commitment to transparency and performance validation.

What Sets Redblockpowered Apart?

Redblockpowered’s approach to tuning goes beyond mere adjustments. Their APC Tuning Kit – Stage 2 offers a comprehensive solution to increase horsepower by 30-50 hp, pushing the limits of these turbocharged legends to 215 hp.

Tailored Tuning for Enthusiasts

What makes this offering truly unique is its flexibility. Redblockpowered allows customers to:

  This modular approach ensures that every enthusiast can find a solution tailored to their vehicle’s current modifications.

Saab’s APC System: A Revolution Reimagined

The Saab APC system, a groundbreaking technology in its era, has found a new lease on life through Redblockpowered’s upgrades. By increasing the turbo boost pressure from 0.8–0.9 bar to 1.1 bar, this tuning kit capitalizes on Saab’s innovative roots while delivering modern performance standards. This is a must-have upgrade for any classic Saab Turbo owner seeking a spirited driving experience.

The Man Behind the Machines

Cameron’s dedication goes beyond technical upgrades. His electronics bench is the nerve center where these custom solutions are created, and his vast collection of Jetronic ECUs serves as a testament to his expertise. “Turnaround times are under a week,” Cameron assures, reflecting his commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Bridging the Gap Between Saab and Volvo Enthusiasts

Although Redblockpowered’s reputation was built on Volvo performance, Cameron has seamlessly transitioned his expertise to Saab vehicles, recognizing the shared Bosch LH-Jetronic systems. With growing demand, Redblockpowered is expanding its Saab offerings, ensuring these iconic vehicles continue to thrive.
