I’ll say he did! Mr. Halverson did a series on upgrades he was doing to his Z for Vette magazine. Part 1 has photos of his “ventilated” cam cover. Establishing a baseline on the dyno with the stock engine in Part 1, he had a major malfuntion. Couldn’t find Part 1 online, but I have the magazine. Part 2 of the series is online.

From Part 2

“At this point, you could say this project is struggling. If you read Part 1, you know I blew up the motor in our ZR-1 project car during its first dynamometer test. Nothing like a jinx right out of the box, eh? This wasn't just any ordinary engine failure, either.

The intention of Part One's test was to verify our C4 project's advertised performance. Testing was on a Dynojet, inertia-type chassis dynamometer, which is about as abusive as accelerating on a slight downgrade. The engine failed at 6,400 rpm, well below its 7,072-rpm rev limit. Considering the test's lack of severity along with the performance, reliability, and durability standards to which General Motors stated the LT5 engine was built, it should not have failed.”

Sure D., but its not as exciting as a Posi equipped car. But it is easier just having to only work 2 pedals as its Powerglide equipped.

I remember that Vette magazine ran it at Englishtown Raceway and it trapped at 116 mph. I can't remember the time...maybe 12.6?
[/QUOTE]

If those times are accurate, it must not be "bone stock". That trap time indicates 420-425hp.

That sounds about right actually
