Pretty much a stock LS7...Kinsler IR intake, Katech Torquer cam, new valve springs, retainers, Lemons' headers with 2" primaries, and a BS3 ECM. Normally this motor makes 610hp at the crank before adding a Kinsler intake. Peak torque 638/fwhp 667.

IMO Those big headers help that curve out a bit. Also IMO (FWIW) that MAY not be a 427 engine. The Tq curve appears to be that of a bigger inch engine.

Frank,

I know what you mean about the dyno #'s.

But I just saw a real 491 fwhp from a street/track 323! (LS 5.3L). Those LS motors make power so relatively easy its freaky.

Anyways, the LS7 went into this car. A fellow named Stuart Hayim is the customer. I'm guessing the same fellow that owns the car dealerships.

I remember when Jim Kinsler first showed that intake, he guessed it would be worth 50 hp on a LS7. It was on his. And this one.

Better pics are being saved for a feature in Camaro Performers magazine.

You'd have to ask the builder www.autokraft.org (http://www.autokraft.org) :confused:

Really? That seems incredibly dramatic to lose 70 lb-ft over a 100rpm window. Wow!

The guy who took pics for Camaro Performers (not these pics here) said the article will reveal some trick features the car has. Front spoiler was put on later.

Here's some more candy...
