I'm with him. I love the old LT5 but if you want more power an LS3/LS7 with a bolt on supercharger is the way to go. IF you can handle removing that gorgeous engine from the bay. Or you just except what you have and chrome the crap out of it.

I'm going about the chrome route for now.

Great experiment Lee.

Altho peak power was down, were there any gains down lower in the curve?

Guys,

I want to see what the LSx/LTx community can do if they were forced to use
the stock cylinder heads, albeit ported, for all manner of mods and regardless of displacement.

The Z06 produces 650 SAE net BHP, and I'm pretty sure it has stock heads.

...AND a supercharger too (if nothing else...)

I share some of Dom's sentiment: An LSx with MM DOHC heads... Would like to see some numbers!

Let's see if it does that sans SC and using a 5.7L displacement while idling at 850rpm. That's really my point.
