Ls2. I thought these numbers sounded a little odd to me aswell, but the owner also admitted to me that when he took it back to the dealer for a lifter issue, he slipped the mechanic a little extra to sneak a z06 cam in

no wonder he beats me so bad

Would have been cool to see the outcome with the camera man sitting in the Corvette. The vette would have still won, but that could have been as much as a 400-500lb swing.

yeah, but the owner wasn't very forthcoming with that info either. he doesn't want many people to know. he had me baffled for awhile when he was just telling me his bolt ons. we ran multiple times and it was not as close as I expected it to be. so it should actually be a close run with me and the geo. he is fixing a few little issues that came up with the car now, and now my clutch has started slipping. going to try to get both fixed for next weekend

and BTW I'm not that fat. only 170 :p
but yeah it would have made some difference I'm sure.

my bolt-on ls1 made 360 to the wheels. I think it could make 420 to the wheels with full bolt-ons

^ what bolt ons does yours have? trying to gauge where my car should be. it has longtubes, offroad y and magnaflow catback, and k&n filter in stock lid and intake. no tune either, thinking around the 320 mark maybe?

A bolt-on LS2 won't hit 420 rwhp.

We had a local friend with a turbo bp festiva. But his druggie brother burnt it to the ground in his driveway. Never got to run it

Probably not, but definitely over 400 should be easy with full bolt-ons, 410-415 could be possible. There cam holds them back a little at higher rpm.
