Frog legs , snake, etc has that same flavor.
As far as I know an LS engine has not been brought out to the limits as this one I have planned out.
When I say limits I mean there is no more.
Darton
http://www.darton-international.com/main_fr.htm has finally finished their larger LS sleeves which can be taken out to 4.155 bore. A 4.25 crank will not work in the LS block.
So I have to have a 4.125 crank brought out to 4.185 w/2" journals. This will give me 7.5 liters or 453.96 ci., as I said there is no where else to go. Some think it is too far and to be honest I sometimes have my doubts.
By the way I like Vipers. I pitted for AVR at the Petit Lemans in Brazelton October 2001 wearing my Z06 hat.
I have known Eric Burch for a while.
I also want the vents from the '03 Viper on my Z06.
If you know where I can get a wrecked hood to make the vent molds from let me know.
I am staying with the D1 Procharger, bringing the CR down under 8.5:1 and going for a full atmosphere of boost 14.7- 15 lbs using 2168 alloy Lunati custom built pistons that are made for the heat from boost or juice. I am also going to install Spal 6.5" fans on the back of my intercoolers to help dissipate more heat from the combustion chamber. I will not be going with any juice, that's just me. All throttle (no nipple

) no bottle.
All the #s in my sig are before the Procharger and 390 gears.
Also stock heads and goodyears even on the dyno.

I have TTS 1 5/8" headers and that is why my torque is peaking in the lower rpms but when I switch to 1 7/8" headers and full 3" exhaust that should bring me up to about 418-420 rwhp range and the heads should be done in 2 weeks which will yield another 30+ rwhp now I am at 450 or so not counting the S/C. I am hoping to pull another 75 min. from the added 100+ ci.
525 rwhp with a 15 lb boost I might see 725+ rwhp.
It might be a bomb waiting to go off but hey you only live once.
