Damn that is amazing. Congrats to GM and Katech and the whole crew for building such an amazing vehicle and an amazing engine to go along with it!

GM has produced approximately 90 million small-block V-8 engines with a combined output of 27 billion horsepower.

Pretty good for an outdated 2V pushrod engine haha. Guess you don't need 20 ohc's, 80 valves and 10 feet of timing chain to make a bad *** powerplant.
