LPE will here from me.

I think you'll see anywhere from 575-600whp. That seems about normal for the average high-end LS7.

What brand springs were those? Crane's new beehives have been proven to 8200 rpm without valve float. Had your PTV been checked ?

Well I should'nt say "don't care" they just don't brag about them, they let the cars they put out speak for them. Good choice

Hey guys I have been over in the Vette forum lately, this motor is in my C6Z. I did get the car back a little over a montha ago.

Conservative, as Max stated. I could cam it up a bit more but for the kind of driving I do I need reliability.

575RWHP and 513 RWTQ.

I have a new motor with 50 more HP and 33 more TQ.. This thing screams. I'll post some pics of the car when I get a chance to snap a few new ones.

Heres some video at the track. Enjoy!

Sorry I was unclear. I had a LPE cam Package in my Z before. That put down 525rwhp and 485RWTQ. The Cartek set up is making 575RWHP, and 516 RWTQ.
