Building the beast.
I came across this excellent read on building the LT5 and what the program meant to the future development of gen III and later engines. Very interesting material.

Re: Building the beast.
And they just couldn't put a raised hood on the C-5 and use the 475 HP version ? Ok people just fork over $ 27,000 dollars for 375 HP please.....Has to be the highest dollar option ever in any GM vehicle...

Re: Building the beast.
You haven’t priced out the LT5 option on a C7...[emoji16]

Re: Building the beast.
Even with all that precision, they somehow managed to mismatch the injector housing and the intake ports in the heads. I can't fathom how they missed that.

Re: Building the beast.
Ive wondered that myself.... all the hand work and precision, but no port matching on parts that seemingly could have been manufactured together for a perfect match...
