Default Need performance info.........

Can anyone give me the performance ratings for an '89 Corvette L98?
It a manual shift motor, if that makes a difference?

Thanks

A lot depends on the driver. If the driver knows the car well, and can launch it very well, it should be able to break 13.9x around 98 mph.

Sorry, I meant the HP and Torque specs.
And any other info that sets this motor apart from the average L98.

Thanks

assuming you have aluminum heads which I believe all the 6speeds had that year.
Has nothing to do with the 6-speeds. All L98s after mid-86 have had Aluminum heads.
