Project C4, 85 Corvette

[Steve85]

Well, Dave's 'Vette is like 489rwhp right now and should be just over 500 I think he said once he gets a couple of things sorted out, and his engine is badass!! So I'm thinking you might still need a small shot of the juice to get me

which is intersting because the two guys that built his motor and run the same motors are making about 600 (based on trap speed and weight) to the rear wheels.

Sounds good! You should side-pipe that beast, haha.

On another note - are you a vette guy in general? My mom gave me a mission to find her a 'cool' used vette. I was thinking about setting her up with a ZR1, because they're just so fucking cool(quad cams ftw), an 02-04 Z06, or maybe a grandsport...any suggestions?

Those are all good options in the same power range and capability. At that point it comes to personal preference. The GS was way under-rated at 330, laughably so. With the LS1 coming in the next year, GM didn't to say the old motor makes 20 more HP than the new generation. I'll send you a PM with more thoughts on it. ZR1's are a steal right now.
