Thoughts on compression/build - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I believe that Fastlane's drag car had solids but that engine had tons of R&D in it. His cam profiles were developed to make power at very high (for LT5) rpm. That engine also had 16:1 compression. Used leaded race gas. Lane did stuff to the LT5 that no one else has done and probably never will. He spent mega bucks on both his 368 engine and the 431 engine. I have a great deal of respect for Lane. He really pushed the envelope with that car. And he took the car for us to see perform many times from California to Bowling Green. No short trip. Thank you, Lane.
