Default Rear Wheel Size

You mentioned the 360 Forged SL10 Concave set up. I checked out their site and do not see anything listed for the Corvette. Can you share what size wheels/tires you will be running? I really want a 315-325 rear tires. From my limited searching on the internet, I do not see GM offering any other set up.

Why'd you pull the heads? To swap out the DOD lifters?

Yes! Our camshaft is a bit larger than what others have installed. We had to remove the DOD lifters due to the lift... Simply put, we do not feel DOD has a place in a Corvette engine

We have ported heads in the works as well, but wanted to get a true A/B # on our cam & header package, then when we add heads we will know exactly what to expect.

How annoying is the RTV to deal with on the front timing cover and pan? Looks like a huge PITA to me and an easy way to create seeps.

It is certainly not one of my favorite features of the new LT1....

This package does not include head work. We wanted a true A/B comparison from stock to cam & headers... Next we will add ported cylinder heads and show additional gains from the head work itself. This will help our customers determine which package suits their needs.

Sorry for the delay in dyno #s.. We had a CTSV come up from Florida yesterday that needed some attention. We are back on the C7 today.

Very curious to see results and gains. Glad you guys are taking this "one step at a time" approach to show the gains. Its nice to see a shop take the time to do it.

Thanx Breecher... Trust me we wanted to install headers and hit the dyno, but I was a bit too anxious to get some lope into this beauty... As I said we will install cylinder heads next, then I plan to remove and port the intake manifold to see what thats worth on a modified engine... We also have a LMR cold air on the way to replace the factory cold air set up.

Once all of that is done we will spray a few hundred HP worth of nitrous.... then it all comes off to fab our single 80mm turbo system over the winter
