I have. Dempsey rebuilt my LT5 in October 2015 - 4" pistons and 3.75" stroke crankshaft resulting in 378 cu in.
he did a terrific job on my Z and I take my other cars - SL550 and BMW 330ci - to his shop for service also.
Dempsey is resourceful, sharp mechanic and a great personal friend of mine! His prices are very reasonable also.

Demps does great work and is great to work with as well

he's doing some really innovative work on the lt5 from engine work to aero mods for the rear, side exit exhaust, tuning, dyno on premisis

he does more than lt5 work as well. The LSV is there right now.

remember the old days when we used to hang out in the cool fall air and listen to the sweet roar of the lt5 at WOT ranging against the wheels on the dyno

I remember the first time the LSV finally crested 500 at the tire I was like a proud papa. I think I still have that video.

SO how about we do it again? Seems to me a few of the zr1 faithful are due for a tune and dyno, and it would be great to rally the brothers for a ZR-1 + other cool car dyno day.

Interested? How about a session on tuning? Just got the LSV back and the fresh injectors and tune have tamed the beast by feeding as needed.

and man this thing can eat. like the song says "the beast is ready to devour" this thing can roll

I suggest others do likewise. what a difference a day on the dyno makes.


let me know if you guys would like to organize a fall dyno day!

I'm in!!

Hey, I'll be in town after holidays, let me know when you are going to be there and I'll roll down in the LSV and we can look over those final numbers like a proud papa.

Demps is really doing some great work and innovating many new enhancements.

check out the rear diffusers and side exhaust

I'm going to talk him into some crazy stuff as well!

key is the tuning. makes all the difference.
