Rc 45 will your corvette be anything like this?

No - that car is nothing like my car. That is just another procharged car. I chose to NOT go that route with my car for the simple reason an aftermarket blown car does not lend itself to thrashing around a road course in the Texas heat.

Its that simple.

There are probably 50 Procharged C5 Vettes in Houston all with 700 to 1000rwhp - and not a single one can lap a road course in the summer heat without pulling timing and threatening to die - they are all like big HP Supras... they are only good for freeway rollons.

Nice to see a high powered Vette sliding around

What RC said, but it looked like a nicely done Vette.

I esp like how the exhaust is done.

What route will you go then?
Big cubic inch?

Eventually, I think RC will go with Kinsler, or Harrop and also have to get a new hood to fit the new throttle bodies. That will yield some more power. However, I think he is satisfied with his power as-is, and looking for the best track session killer that he can drive to and from the track; hence his new splitter, ductail, and forthcoming park bench :)

Well, so far he's gone with cubic inches, a big cam, and some compression. I'm guessing more of the same, but I'm sure RC will chime in. There are always more things to be addressed . . . sigh, so much to do to my on car.

I also believe ITB's are the way to go. Besides more power and torque, they also give better throttle response and a deep growling induction roar. What more can you wish for!

Here you can see the Harrop setup:

Sounds something like this:

I mean more than 8 litre

I mean more than 8 litre

427ci is 7 litres. 500ci just to pursue a power number is better left to the Jay Leno's of the world (The $50,000+ cost of a 500ci LSx based motor is just out of regular folks leagues) - and the return on the ITB's investment is pretty low - especially considering you need a new engine managment solution.

Such motors are really only for the folks who view a $50, $60, $75 or $100,000 motor as an interesting hobby or whom are powertrain managers of million dollar GT1 teams ;)

This is what makes the EVS super charger that MTI Racing in Georgia have put together so interesting.

For around $20K they transform the 427ci motor into a very capable track monster - and not just a "dyno and roll on queen".

So you can still considering a supercharger for more power?
