hmm it looks like this thread is getting there…i have to agree with turbo here…you can make a really really good n/a motor for under 20g and not have anything crazy…
also theres nothing wrong with sts kits it just didnt work for turbo’s car…theres plenty of sts cars running decent times and making decent numbers…2 of which are in rochester(gto, and c5 z06)
also brent strong…you need to get some of your facts right before you go off on people that actually know and build that type of engine…
the c5r motor made around 650hp yes but not at the wheels…its around 550 or so…theres guys making 600+wheel no problems on that gen motor…as for the new motor…until they release numbers i cant really comment…BUT vette doctors has a heads and cam package for the z06 that puts out 645 wheel or so… so it better be a lot higher then that…thats all i got to say…also i know a bunch of people that could if they really wanted to get there hands on this motor…
