C7 of Year Finalist (track prepared) 2019

Default Katech Air Attack Z06 - 1000hp

The phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing" comes to mind. This car looks virtually stock on the outside. The only hint is the the air rushing noise you hear coming from under the hood at idle. Test it, and you'll feel the punch of 811rwhp pinning you to the seat.

Specs:
436ci Air Attack RHS engine
Forged crank/rods/pistons
ATI damper
Piston squirters
Katech red oil pump
LSX-LS7 6-bolt heads
Bronze guides
Ti/Mo intake valves, LS7 exhaust valves
Air Attack LS7-spec camshaft
C5-R timing chain
ARP studs
FAST LSXR 102mm intake
Katech billet fuel rails
Katech valve covers, powdercoated yellow
Katech coil relocation kit
ARE dry sump pan and tank
Auto Verdi secondary scavenge pump
Katech-designed oil pump drive and mounting
Relocated PS reservoir (ZR1-style)
Procharger F1A - 12psi boost
8 rib belt system
Race BOV
Aeromotive fuel pump
Aeromotive fuel pump speed controller
Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
FAST 85# injectors
Katech-designed and fabricated dual snorkel intake (hidden behind fascia)
LS9R clutch
Dewitts radiator
Pfadt coil-overs
All lines custom made for Katech by Brown & Miller
Michelin pilot sport cup tires

1000hp on the engine dyno


811rwhp on the chassis dyno (93 octane)

Far be it for me to complain but is it supposed to smoke that much?
I'd much rather have my 600HP with zero smoke than that.

I think it's just really cold outside.

ETA: to be fair, Pokerpro lives in FLORIDA - this "cold" idea might be relatively foreign.

Either that - or a head gasket is leaking.

Yep, welcome to Michigan in November. It's very cold outside and that's just condensation. It goes away. We were only revving it to about 3000rpm because it was wasn't fully up to operating temperature yet.

How much $s for the package excluding the tires?


so long as your not doing don garlits style hole shot launches and full on throttle power shifting will the clutch, transmisison and rear-end hold up?


Will it pass 50 state emissions?


Does the package retain Ls7 heads(notorious for dropping valves)?


Will it last 40 to 50k miles of street driving with a few spirited romps here and there?


How long to complete the job from the time the car is dropped off?

Is there an option to get the valve covers powder coated black?

You've got to love and appreciate a "no expense spared build" that's the way to do it!
