That car will likely blow up before we see any track times out of it

What gets me is how much torque these new LT's produce. Say comparing a 700hp LS7 & 700hp LT (stroker 427-429). The LT's do seem to be producing 40-50 more lb/ft of torque.

Unfortunately that will more likely be the exact case. I hope the owner has a spare block laying around.

Is HHP/Chuck known for blowing up motors?

I half assed thought about using them for LT tuning..

I didn't think the numbers were bad on the camaro.. 429 making 589rwhp with a stock intake? Sounds pretty good to me. A real intake would put it at 620+

That is about what a head/cam LS7(427) makes and it's well known to have much bigger heads and better flowing intake.

A big bore is always going to make more top end power then a medium bore/large stroke.

No sir PLEASE don't have Chuck (hhp) tune your car unless you want to buy a new block. I'm not kidding the very least bit.

Chuck is known for blowing motors about as often as Jake loses to 2vs. It's a lot
