I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Man, I love being a turtle. Oops! I mean: There’s a reason I’m a writer and not an engineer. “I have never thought that a tire rotating around its wheel would ever be a problem. The 2014 Camaro Z/28’s engineers have.

The LS is an extremely versatile power plant. I mean it fits in anything. Apparently, that long list of LS-powered hybrids now includes helicopters. It’s called the Hummingbird 3000.

How do you like them apples? 95 WHP & 70 LB-FT from a cam swap on a C6 Z06! Forget all the C7 hoopla because the LS7 is still one bad beast! This particular example made 532 WHP and 481 LB-FT up from the stock cam numbers of 436 WHP 412 LB-FT thanks to a […] More »
