Here's the link!


The camcorder can only capture so much sound. This thing is all shake rattle and roll!


C6R Start Up


What do you think?

Sounds sweet!

The cam has a nice lope to it!

allanlaw

Looks like a pick-up truck from the rear . . .

dgussin1

where is the rest of it? lol

RENNtech

Sounds Great Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. . . . . .
I'll bet you can't wait to acually drive her now. . .

JJ

Short-Throw

Yup....and you will see the back end of it many times in any given session.

Short-Throw

That's all there is......I figured the heck with the drag coefficient.....let's save weight!

Short-Throw

It sure does.....as I said earlier, the camera mic doesn't really pronounce how deep it is. When it was running on the dyno.....

Short-Throw

Just flipping all the switches to fire her up is a rush!

burtonbl103

HOLY $hit



Going to be sick !

Foosh

Sounds great...............but, I also thought it would look better when finished.

XXXEsq

Its alive... ALIVE!!!

difflvl

Wow, sounds nice. I like how the revs climb and drop so quickly. Wonder how good it sounds at WOT.

Can you post a full list of engine/drivetrain/exhaust mods? Or give me a link to another post that has it?

chevyhipo

Wow, thats awesome, sweet sound, that engine did not sound like that when it left GM. Katech my hat is off to you.

I know that Jason will not be able to keep up with you now..

Hey I just found out that I built his engine that is in his vette too. But he has done the Katech thing to it as well.

Mike its coming togeather great can't wait to see it at the open house

Henry

mcm

Does this thing have no flywheel or something?

Short-Throw

Yup, and very very angry!

DJ'sZ

Absolute music to my ears...!!!!

Congrats...!!!

Short-Throw

WOT is thunderous. When it was on the dyno I looked for a corner to hide in.

All the links above will give you most of your answers.

Generally:

The engine is a Katech LS7.

The exhaust is Kooks headers redirected around my Dailey pump and a custom Borla muffler arrangement. Drivetrain has been beefed up until the sequential arrives.

If you'd like more specifics feel free to PM me....but read it first!


Mike

Short-Throw

For those joining in...Henry was the original builder of the Beast's LS7.

He will get to see his baby return home July 23rd at the Perf. Build Open House.

I'm sorry, what was that you said about Jason keeping up?


Mike

Short-Throw

It's has a flywheel all right......but it's the size of a CD.
