more cubic inches or a different cam profile? Perhaps a different header design... Is there a specific rpm range where the torque becomes less on the before and after tests?

Whats Next?

Use the LT5 for a boat anchor.
Install a LS engine and enjoy.

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?
