9000 rpm C5 video

[Robz]

Just thought I'd share. My buddy took a vid with his cell phone of us tuning.

The car took forever to get up there in 100 degree heat.

With heat shields, air boxes, and 40 degree track temps it should spin up quicker.

What upgrades did you do to your valvetrain to support 9,000 RPMs? Sounds wicked! Who built your forged motor? Talk about balanced and blueprinted. Sweet!

[tistan]

Since you said it was an ls7 block, is it 427 cubes or bigger?

 

[GTSpartan]

Solid roller?

Those heads prob need re-doing every 5k miles!

 

[tistan]

ttt can we get a little info on your set up?

 

[CobraBob]

Wow! The hairs on the back of my neck rose up when I heard the engine revving way beyond 7K. Sounds so nice.

One more guess.

 

[SublimeRT]

Destroked?

It's in his sig folks :nonono:

 

[tistan]

It's in his sig folks :nonono:

You are reading the wrong sig then. His sig doesn't say anything about what kind of cam and lifters he is using or how many cubes the motor is.

 

[SublimeRT]

It's in his sig folks :nonono:

It WASN'T in his sig when I posted my first response.

Smaller. 388 cubes. ls7 bare block with an ls1 crank.
