C5Z vs Novi 2000 2v
Close friend of mine is getting retuned soon, so we decided so benchmark it against my bolt on z.
His car is a full bolt on, stock motor w/ a paxton novi 2000 @ 8-10psi from a 40 roll....

His setup isn't really optimized, which is why we are going to re tuning it. He's shifting it at like 5800 and running like 16* of timing or something dumb like that. It should be faster at the end of the week sometime...Ill post of videos of the re race

That that ive really looked but ive yet to see a "stupid fast" 2v. Whats some world records for these cars? What about the engine itself? What kinda power is it capable of?

I've kind of wondered the same myself. I knew my old LT1 gave a lot of the 2V's modded more than me problems but I've never owned one so haven't really cared to look up too much about them in all honesty

Nice op, that was a rape!
Now as far as 2valves, i have seen some nasty ones but like stated before they are far and few in between. I personally used to have one and it put up a a good run vs several quick cars including a pullied cobra and a c5z06 with exhaust its on video too.

The bottom ends are only good for around 400-450 whp. It's hyper pistons powdered metal rods and a cast crank that hates a lot of rpm. The 2v heads are really bad as far as flow as well.

GT500 motor swap, bolt-ons, faceplated transmission, and some weight reduction...

2V's can be pretty stout if set up correctly but when compared to LSx motors... well they have a breathing disadvantage lol. A decent flowing intercooler, power pipe, smaller pulley (10-11 lbs) plus a great tune would give him a decent power boost while still being safe on the stock bottom end. That should make him more competition for you lol

Thanks! Ti bypass mod FTW lol
As far as the 2v's go, we are seeing the stock internals take a **** at ~6500...so he won't be going much over 6k...which will still be at least 200rpm higher than now. He doesnt plan on being able to beat me after the tune or anything, just more of a friendly benchmark to see gains.
