I love my Vette even tho I don't get time to enjoy it ( driven once in 1 yr) and its cool and all but I wish someone would make a procharegr kit to get some real HP . 500 600 is a lot but 800-1000 is better . 400 like it has factory is childs play anymore

As I note in my signature, per Mickey Thompson, "Too much horsepower is almost enough". --Bob

Also I believe one of our members tried a flat crank approach to the LT5 but as I recall it did not improve the power much. Marc could comment on this if he wants.--Bob

I'm not sure I agree with the idea that more horsepower is always better. If you cannot get the power to the ground, then what is the point?

Re: 6.0 lt5 flat crank 608 hp
 

Agreed.

True but look at the dodge demon etc 700-800 hp and the tires aren't any larger than ours and they hook just fine.

A buddy had a Hayabusa that was tuned ( turned down from 600hp) to 420 I believe an thats on 1 wheel and under 600 lbs -

Im getting older and that being the case - I try and stay in shape to keep ahead of the masses- getting older merans push harder - and as for me it seems appropriate to do the same with my vette - when possible... I guess its a pride thing - we have cars that sold for 70k+ in 1990 and was the leader of the pack -Alpha - its hard to accept a front wheel drive cracker box- turbocharged POS - comes up and spanks the cars rear . If I hit the lotto I'll take us all to NRE and get the 500 cu in block with extras

If you want to see what can be done with a flat plane crank check out these guys. Hovemann Racing in Germany, they run an LT5 with a flat plane crank, get 800hp and 8000 rpm. Check out their videos in YouTube as well.
