C7 of Year Finalist (track prepared) 2019

Default [VIDEO] Katech LT1 427 Running Daytona Engine Dyno Durability Simulation
Working here I get bored with engine dyno sweep tests. There is nothing exciting about them. However, when we run track simulations on the engine dyno it's so much more thrilling. Hearing a 700hp, natually aspirated engine being simulated through the Daytona road course makes everybody come over and check it out.

I doubt any other engine builders put their packages through this kind of scrutiny before selling to the public. We have concluded our testing and will be announcing pricing soon.

Enjoy

And that's why you pay more for high HP with the big boys!! 24 hours under load on a dyno...very impressive.

Amazing soundtrack. What is redline?6400? Any likelihood of 7000+ to continue the LS7 legacy?

Will be looking forward to seeing it track-tested.

How long did it spend on the dyno under that testing? Deffinately nice to see that level of testing on an 'aftermarket engine'.

We ran 1 drum of fuel so it was about 2-3 hours.
