LMR C7 makes highest HP in the world! 1121 rwhp!!
#21
lived for 24k miles then a rod finally went (stock motor had 109k on the clock when it happened)
I think stock engines are built much stronger than anyone will let on. With a proper tune i see no reason why these LT1s couldnt live at 800hp all day long

Sorry, left my rod & reel at the house.....Just going by what LMR posted a few weeks back.
You seem to have an agenda given your comments in this thread, but LMR/Vengeance and several other top shops in the country all work together. We are extremely excited to see the guys raise the bar yet again.

In a time when most companies are cutting back to save on production costs, it's impressive to see an engine like this emerge in such a stout form!

I still wish they would put forged slugs and rods in these things though, at the production level the cost difference would be next to nothing. Pretty sure all of us would be fine with a $50 price increase for forged hard parts!

Our setup is a built bottom end, YSI blower and a small shot of N20. We continue to work with Vengeance and other shops to improve the performance and reliability of these fantastic cars. At the end of the day we want to put the best product out there that we can for the corvette enthusiast.
Thought i wanted a C6 Z06 or even a C7 or Camaro or well its an ever changing list
But reading up on mods and the power they are making - hard to look away.
Keep up the good work

This is how it should be, too bad this industry is so damn cut throat. Working together helps not only the masses, but, each other as well.

The Texas TX2K14 Event is in town this weekend so I didn't have much time to tune the car after engine was installed, just one afternoon. After this event, and when we get caught back up at the shop I will put her back on dyno for more tuning. She WILL make over 1000RWHP on boost only and then add an even bigger shot to find our limits. We need to know what fails first but we have a pretty good idea what will(from past experience from LS engines) exactly what is going to happen. More to come....

Its raining today, so event cancelled for today. We just installed some prototype driveline parts so we might try and put them to the test. If not this weekend we will soon. Have a lot of customer cars here to support.
