I love my Vette even tho I don't get time to enjoy it ( driven once in 1 yr) and its cool and all but I wish someone would make a procharegr kit to get some real HP . 500 600 is a lot but 800-1000 is better . 400 like it has factory is childs play anymore

As I note in my signature, per Mickey Thompson, "Too much horsepower is almost enough". --Bob

Also I believe one of our members tried a flat crank approach to the LT5 but as I recall it did not improve the power much. Marc could comment on this if he wants.--Bob

I'm not sure I agree with the idea that more horsepower is always better. If you cannot get the power to the ground, then what is the point?

True but look at the dodge demon etc 700-800 hp and the tires aren't any larger than ours and they hook just fine.

A buddy had a Hayabusa that was tuned ( turned down from 600hp) to 420 I believe an thats on 1 wheel and under 600 lbs -

Im getting older and that being the case - I try and stay in shape to keep ahead of the masses- getting older merans push harder - and as for me it seems appropriate to do the same with my vette - when possible... I guess its a pride thing - we have cars that sold for 70k+ in 1990 and was the leader of the pack -Alpha - its hard to accept a front wheel drive cracker box- turbocharged POS - comes up and spanks the cars rear . If I hit the lotto I'll take us all to NRE and get the 500 cu in block with extras

If you want to see what can be done with a flat plane crank check out these guys. Hovemann Racing in Germany, they run an LT5 with a flat plane crank, get 800hp and 8000 rpm. Check out their videos in YouTube as well.
