Re: White Shark Corvette/512hp (paul79)

Very nice! Also similar to Dick Guldstrand's 50th anniversary Vette. He uses a 427 Katech LS1/6 motor and makes well over 500hp. Still, it's not the amount of horsepower that is amazing, such numbers have been common place for race engines of this size for about 40 years. The amazing part is how incredibly civilized they are and still make that much power. The torque curve is much more broad than my L88 giving substantially more area under the curve. And it will idle all day with a/c on in 100 degree weather AND NEVER OVERHEAT!
