435 HP??

I won't knock Jay though, he's got so many freakin cars, my head would be spinning trying to remember the HP each one had originally. The one thing he's missing is a dry sump pump. ECS has done LS7 conversions into C5's that include a dry sump pump (with the battery moved to the rear).

Jay is da man!!!

He probably was thinking about one of his other cars when he said 435. Maybe a 68..
