Default New 427 fm Vengeance!!!

BIG THANKS to Ron, Charlie, and Mike. All I can say is this is one Bad Azzzzzzzzzzzzz engine. With torque hitting 425RWTQ off idle at 2400 RPM all the way through 6500 RPMs. It is sweet. Final numbers 530/513 with LS3 heads and a 3.90 rear end. It is just AWESOME! Did I say I was happy, hell yeah, I'm happy!

Make a long story short, Ron at Vengeance put an end to my 2+ year nightmare. Worked with me all the way through it, helping match every part with suspension/engine performance/my goals in mind.

Again, thanks for a happy ending!

2 Thumbs up to you Ron,

Mike C

Thanks brah, your personal build and words of wisdom were a great help. I also stuck w/ small cam and in the 230ish zone w/ 4 degree split. After my previous engine issues, it was guys like you that kept me pressing with the vette. Thanks.

Sounds like an awesome, bullet-proof setup you've got there. Enjoy it, as others have said, hard to beat the fun of a C5 with a 427!
