From Part 2 Link to full Part 2 in the series: http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/vem...s/viewall.html Hib “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.” B17 Crew Last edited by B17 Crew; 10-28-2014 at 11:59 PM. |

Re: Heart of the Beast cover car for sale
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. |
