Interesting DOHC vs. pushrod 500+ motors - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I ran across a couple SBC videos of engines claiming to be 500+ hp, and thought it would be interesting to compare to an LT5, just for fun...

And my 508 hp LT5

Makes for an interesting comparison, I thought.

Took her out to stretch her legs a bit today. Geeeze but that 19 degree air sure makes some wicked hp! Course, the tires didn't grip for crap - no surprise there, I guess.

Happy new year! May your mods go smooth - and long live the King!

Is it spring yet??
