Default 2007 What LS engine

I just bought a 2007 corvette, not a ZO6. What LS series engine/HP is it??
I'll be tracking and AutoXing it with Hoosier A6s. On track is there going to be issues with oil pressure [ need accusump ??] or over heating.

You didn't see that big LS2 stamped on the plenum cover when you opened the hood?

AutoX is so short, overheating wouldnt be an issue. If youre going to the track or doing extended backroad runs, the summer heat can build up quickly.

Oil pressure issues occur on longer left hand turns so the factory suggests adding an extra qt for hard use. If you ever decide to add a drysump, look into Aviaid. They have several kits with an entry level one starting at around $1800.

Have fun!
