Yup the link is fixed. With an 11 rib pully, 13+ lbs of boost should be no problem with a different pully. Add some LG Motorsports Pro Longtube headers and the Big 3 cat back and you got 750 hp, up from 638. Might be a bit wishful thinking, but this new offering from GM has got to have the aftermarket drooling to get there hands on one.

"hp/liter is a completely arbitrary statistic.
i am going to start using my favorite arbitrary engine stat, hp/camshaft
the ls9 makes 638hp/camshaft, ferrari needs 4 cams to get there only making 162 hp/cam. now that is what i call lazy engineering. ferrari needs to start outsourcing their engines from the same place they get their shocks!
bmw can only manage 127 hp/cam, PATHETIC! even a mustang gt gets 150 hp/cam. get your act together europe and japan. you have a lot of catching up to do.
but seriously, i swear you guys would keep bitching about hp/liter even if GM found a way to fit 10 liters and 800 hp in something the size of a shoebox that weighed 100 lbs and got 40 mpg. get over hp/liter and look at the numbers that actually affect the performance of an automobile and you will see why the chevy small block is the most successful performance engine in history."
I love it. Was that someone from this site? It is a great analogy.

Yep quick 
With all season tires or something else? Well lets see. John Lawson Corvette is automatic on slicks ran low 10's. This can be confirmed by looking at Ohio quickest list. This car, the new Z06 Chevrolet version, isn't automatic. So, you stick guys say it should be quicker. But, the little 2.1 Factory Turbo, Cobalt, another automatic, runs 9's. And the weight is about the same. My son in laws Z06 has been through Lincoln Logs Indiania plant. Only runs at Super Chevy shows. With tires 11's. The old Z06 ran low 12's stock.
