is it an iron block though? if so that can be a huge part of that cost.

 

The pics on Pace performance looks aluminum.

Chevrolet promotes the 5.3 as all aluminum I have not seen a gen v in iron block yet if ever.

 

We've been hard at work on testing! We took delivery of our 2014 Corvette on Monday, and we were able to baseline it yesterday on our chassis dyno. We hope to be testing different cams and our PRC ported LT1 cylinder heads next week! Stay tuned for more updates!

 

I hadn't seen one either but I figure its only a matter of time before something has an iron block.

 

Ok Trevor, next time I come over for a dyno, I want you to do it. Your numbers are way better than Jason's!!!!!!

What was the temp and HUMIDITY on these pulls??

Best, Tom.

 

I pulled next to the first C7 I have seen today in my stock 01 SS M6 and it did pretty much what I thought beat me from a stop light by a more than few lengths.

That is a lot more than LMR's c7 baselined at and would indicate a car making more than 460 hp like its claimed.

 

Jason was doing the pulls while Trevor did the camera work.

FWIW this is a dry sump car.

 

lol you think?...a 350hp 5.7 vs a 460hp 6.2 and in a lighter car lol...


I think I posted this somewhere but manufactures can't do that like the use to. The power has to be what they claim. Of course you will get variations based on dynos and environmental conditions.

 

Our engine dyno testing has commenced, and we will be testing multiple cams, as well as our PRC ported cylinder heads, late today! All of our testing is done on our engine dyno before we ever put it in a car. We are testing proprietary lobes that are not "off-the-shelf" grinds, and we are also testing the limits on the cams relative to piston-to-valve clearance. We do extensive testing BEFORE it ever makes it into a car. This provides us with exact numbers for our customers to compare our various camshafts, cylinder heads, etc. We want to know what each part makes and then put it all together. You can't continue to improve on a part if you aren't testing it individually! Everyone will be very pleased with the results.

Stay tuned for lots of information and videos!

 

Here is the baseline with stock internals. 518 HP and 510 TQ! We will be testing our proprietary camshafts this afternoon, then onto PRC cylinder heads!

 

518? O_o what accessories and such did you have on the engine?

 

If those are stock numbers these engines may have some true factory freaks out there.

 

It appears none, I would guess no mufflers or cats either?

Doesn't surprise me at all that it can push those numbers. Stock LS1 were over 400 on engine dynos.

 

i know that. just seems... inflated..

 

Our dyno numbers are without an air induction, no front drive accessories (and no belt to turn), and without cats running through 4" exhaust pipe. Katech's engine produced 500 HP with an aftermarket air induction, complete front accessories with a belt, and cats. Our 518 HP sounds dead-on with the induction, cats, and accessories removed.

 

thanks for clearing it up

 

A stock LS3 will dyne 485HP at the crank with no accessories and dyno headers, so I don't think 518HP is out of line for the new LT1 at all.
