Default Baddest C4 corvette street build!?

So what do you guys think I'm going for a true street car here. All I need to finish is custom headers, fuel, holley efi standalone and misc parts. 650rwhp+ n/a and on spray 900rwhp+ on one kit.

Btw has anyone done a holley efi standalone in a c4 before?





T56 magnum built by tick stage 5





True LSX





Katech valve covers





446 c.i. LSX 12:1 comp, 660 lift cam, ls7 heads worked to the max by LME with much more...





Katech coil relocation

Only thing you loose is mpg/range... Rest works fine with no modification. There are a ton of wires left over that are useless though. If you don't mind tucking them away. I eliminated them and it was a big job tracing and snipping. Overall it makes the car simpler in the end. Definitely worth the time.

Nice....have you considered a larger intake?
Not sure if the holley hi ram comes in a square port or not have worked with their cathedrals. Almost need more intake. Should be fun

That's why I ended up buying the cowl hood, I want to get the ls7 hi ram. I'll gain at least 30+rwhp over fast.

Even more if its ported properly (either one)
Best FAST intake imo is their truck intake that sucker can move a little air, the Holley Hi port sure is a nice piece though.

Looks like a nice setup. You'll definitely have some horsepower. What will the rest of the drivetrain be like?

Cool, but not the baddest. Always someone with more. There is at least one guy here with a project that is a few hundred more HP in complete stock trim and a N/A motor.

Cool build none the less.

Please document the trans parts etc int his thread. I have a trans but it's only rated to 750hp. I don't know how long it will last.
