Thumbs up Warhawk N/A engine that we built for a roadcourse C5



Thread over on The Corvette Forum.

This engine ran all afternoon yesterday with no hiccups at all. No initial teething problems with it or anything.

Link to this car on our website. Bob

What you did to that Vette is sick. Sounds a great motor build.

The results are good especially the 580 on a mustang dyno. My only question which I can almost already answer is why did the guy go out and spend $23,000 on a car he was going to instantly tear apart?

That makes no sense what so ever. I mean obviously the guy has the money to spend seeing as how... 1. He paid for all of this. 2. The sign for his company is on a billboard at the track behind the car in the picture you posted.

A lot of the Z06 chassis was used for the car. We didn't want to but a wrecked chassis that may have been tweaked. We sold off the wheels, the brakes, the engine, wiring harness, front and rear fenders, the front and rear body parts, even the seats and console. We took the transmission over to RPM Transmissions and had them build it into their Stage V. The rear-end was retained and the doors are still original. Bob

Thanks! Tom took the car back out on the roadcourse yesterday morning for several hours, and he said it ran flawlessly. It is going to be a long Winter for him anxiously awaiting until the track opens again. Bob

Been watching this build from you website for some time - excellent job!

If am not mistaken, the owner has another blown vette he was running on the track, did that become his daily driver?

Don't think that is a billboard - looks like a tractor trailer used to pull the cars. I don't think the vette owner owns eurosport.

Correct, the owner does not own Eurosport. Bob

Thanks, yes the ProCharger equipped C5 is now a back up car and a driver. We took out the 346 this year and built an LS2 402 for it. We reused the Patriot Stage 2 LQ9 heads, and swapped the D-1SC for an F-1C. The 346 had a Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam, the new engine has our blower cam in it. The new engine is making an additional 140 ft lbs of torque over the other engine, and horsepower is up from 740 to 804 at the tires. This is on our Mustang Chassis Dyno. Why did we keep the Patriot Stage 2 heads on a 402? I new somebody was going to ask... lol I could not talk the owner into upgrading into a larger head. Bob
