Am I wrong thinking that 650-700rwhp is a little ambitious for that blower? A D1 for sure, but a Maggy?

I'm pretty sure Ken Duttweiler has some Magnacharged LS2's making 900hp, in fact I think he finally got one to hit 1000hp.

Love the supercharger and Z06 suspension mods. I don't like all the yellow stuff under the hood and interior. The spolier and Z06 emblems need to be removed ASAP too. Nice car otherwise.

The work done on the engine baie is very neat.
Definitely the work of a pro who pays attention to detail.
Who did the work under the hood ?

Yea they did a good job under the hood!
Unfortunately I dont know a lot of details about this car yet and im not sure who did the work under the hood. But the car is built and driven in Sweden so that wont matter to much to you guys anyway i think

Don't care for the yellow interior accents, spoiler or the Z06 badges. I can understand if that's his taste for the interior/spoiler but there's no excuse for the badges.

Awesome car other than that.

Interior and spoiler kill that car! I love vettes but damn that ugly. Just buy a ls2 and a blower and you will still come out alot cheaper than buying a stock vette .

This is what I thought.. I know it's hard to get a 346 over 600whp with them, unless they have different ones for these cars..

I'm not an FI guy or anything (I have no personal experience with it) but I think buying a good LS2, all the parts for the swap in to an F-body, and then properly setting up FI and the car to handle 600rwhp would cost alot more than an LS2 vette (about 30K for the vette).
