And it's going be bullet proof like an LT-5 too right?
You are comparing apples and oranges. A 368 or 415 would leave you in the dust and probably still go 100,000 miles.

No, you're running your mouth about regular c4's. Bullet proof? You go ahead and be bullet proof while I beat your azz to the finish line. If I wanted bullet proof, I'd buy an armored car. I'll settle for fast.

I own a regular c4
It won't be bulletproof as a LT-5 and you are dreaming if you think you are going beat a worked 368 or 415 LT-5 to the finish line.
I'm not running my mouth, I simply said I wouldn't spend that kind of $ in a regular C4. To me to spend $10,000 on a motor when most C4's are in the 10-15k range is stupid but hey its your money.

It's called an opinion which I am entitled to just like you are entitled to yours. Go sell your car and see what it is worth.....

Ah.... I believe he question is.......... Should he go with a 355 or a 383. I like a 383..... the 383 runs rings around my L98.... But it has a little extra help.

Yeah, you make alot of sense.
You are making more HP off the bottle then a stock ZR-1 huh?
No ****, you have a bottle and you have dumped a ****load of $$ in your car that you will never ever see again.
Oh and I bet that motor will run forever too ..... NOT!
Truth be known he should probably buy a rougher ZR-1, do the plenum, injector housings, headers and a chip and he would be in good shape.
At least when he was done, he would get most of his money out of the car.
Oh and since you questioned it:
ZR-1 415
0-60 mph 3.6 seconds.
Top Speed 201.5 mph
Funny how you mouth off but you are not even sure what your car will run plus it appears it is not even setup right
You are not going make me post the thread are you

Wow, you have lots of fantasies. Irrespective of that, your freight train will be behind me as I pass the finish line at the 1/4... you lose!
From 100+ the LT-5 is going be pulling like a freight train and your motor is going be petering out.

Heck in your thread, you can't even figure out how to build your motor.
I'm sure its as good as a J.L. built 415 1/4 mile= 10.60
Perhaps you should start selling your motors, just don't let anyone pull up the thread where it shows you have no clue

Both of you are looking pretty lame right now. The original poster had a legitimate question and wanted some input not a pissing contest. If a new member saw you all bickering in this thread he would think this whole forum was like that which is the excact opposite of what this forum is about....most people here to learn and help each other out. Do us all a favor and stop thread jacking and take it to pm or your own thread.

You won't beat a 415 on nitrous or a 415 twin turbo.
