were you folks aware the ZR1 would have this?
hopefully solve the valve coking issue

The R2650 + dual FI setup is going to be nasty.

A bolt-on ZR1 is going to be capable of making silly power and won't have the fueling issues the LT1/LT4 have because of this setup.

I think they purposely built a ton of headroom into the LT5...

It's just purposely built:

I am jonesing to get more details on this. Specifically the low side fuel pump specs. I'm sure it will be a big step up from the Z06 and if retrofitted may allow me to run full E85.

Nothing to do with the issue that is not an issue on LT4 engines.
They added it for additional fuel so they added the port as well.

New ECM may mean no tuning!

What? read what you linked to the ZR1 C6???

What GM computer hasn't been cracked in weeks? I remember the threads on LS1Tech telling everything the C7 would be impossible to crack. Took everyone about 3-4 months before boltons and tunes started getting thrown on.

I'll take that bet.

They didn't screw around with that one either!

I fully agree with this!!! Intake, pulley, tune and there will be plenty of power to be made. Should be the most capable bolt on Vette ever given they beefed up the motor, increased cooling and upsized the supercharger by over 50%

It would be possible to design the hardware/software so the engine tuning tables couldn't be changed. It would require both hardware and software designed to stop it but it isn't impossible. They don't have to make it impossible all they have to do is make it so expensive and complicated to do the financial incentives for doing it make it not worth bothering to do. As for when it happens all it would take is for CARB to decide they want to force the issue and it would sweep across the country within a short time.

wish they had had the forethought to make this car flex fuel

e85 will be a hero in this car and yes those valves will be nice and shiney!!

gm seems to have researched and helped the vavle contamination issues but there is no doubt that this can be a problem. ask any audi owner.

for sure the new lt5 has some room to grow some bigger cojones on a substantial base, and hopefully enough air flow fins gills like some giant pirahna fish (apologies to T dolby) to keep it cool and stuck down

I like that gm is going to a wing rather than the plastic at the back

more efficient. I'll take a low wing as I'm loving the idea of 210+

I don't doubt it's possible but not plausible. there hasn't been a single manufacturer to do this that I know of.

I seem to also recall hearing something about GM doing this though..

Well, people are starting to realize CARB is really going too far, and have finally begun pushing back on the enviro****s.

They tried to push legislation through recently that would have put a lot of aftermarket manufacturers essentially out of business.

Thankfully, SEMA got involved and quashed the legislation.

Certainly plausible for ECM's to get either locked, or be automatically re flashed back to OEM settings automatically if variance is detected.

No bueno.

1000 whp bolt on car. The 2650 is a beast.
