Phenominal video capturing the build progression from start to finish!!
May I ask (since I don't know), what generally causes a gap between HP and Torque, such as for this build 71 lb ft of torque (627/556). What is necessary to close that gap and increase the torque?
What is more important at this level of performance, HP or TQ?
Thanks in advance!!

LOVE this package. Very interested in getting it. I had ‘16 Z06, how does this package compare to a stock Z06? Pretty similar in terms of power and delivery?

Only question I have is what us the tech looking at with the hand held microscope in the crank case before the timing cover is installed.

Cost for the Katech 700 HP upgrade
My C7 Z put 710 HP and 748 TQ to the wheels, but I'm seriously thinking about getting a Admiral blue Grand Sport M7 for a track car, then upgrade the motor to this package! Any idea of the cost involved?

Slick build so congrats on that. Curios to me it looks like the knock sensor is in the wrong spot on the driver side first pic? I thought it sits up under a metal heat shield up near the top right? Maybe the LT1's are different. Also with all that money in the build going for a fast revving N/A why oh why didn't they remove all that rotating mass from the VVT assembly using your Billet VVT delete? That sucker is 10lbs or close to it vs a 1lb ish for the LS3 replacement sprocket. That would have made it topped off for sure less stress on the valvetrain (chain, etc.) and sure looked nice. Just my thoughts I guess the buck has to stop somewhere unfortunately I was incapable of doing so on my build. So kudos to saving money :-). It's nice to see vid's making it look so easy and quick to pull these motors out lol.
