Yeah, that's Kurt White's motor, awesome for sure.
How he got to a 415 with juice ain't a short story.
BTW, I believe there's Jeal technology inside it too.
The project was off and running for a while but no doubt helped by a not small windfall last year!!!
Kurt's a great guy and and a good ambassador for us over there, if a little thirsty for the juice.

Definitely a wild motor! Did you know his other wheels include a Lambogy Diablo?
I would advise caution with the juice Cliff.
I've spoken to GJ several times on the subject and would suggest you do the same.
Seems the ole LT5 doesn't lend itself too well to a straight plug 'n' play with this stuff if one intends regular or large amounts of spray.
The innards could do with some strengthening if that is a preferred route.
That doesn't mean to say your engine couldn't take a shot or 2 as it may well be sufficiently beefed up already, as opposed to optimised.
Talk to GJ and see, specially since spraying is one of the cheapest bangs for the buck, on the face of things in the first place.

Ive chatted to Geoff on a number of occasions about nitrous and the conclusion is do i need it as the power without NOS should be sufficient.
Think once i get the car back i might just concentrate with making full use of the power and getting it down to the ground first.
Nice to dream though

Good point Cliff and something I've always said since I owned a 1971 Trans Am 455 HO. It was stock with an auto transmission and 3.42:1 rear and everything used to beat me off the line - I just couldn't put the power (torque?) down, even if I got the car up to 30 mph first I could still smoke the tyres if I hit it.
The curse of no traction has returned with my current car - I guess 570 ft/lbs @ 2500 rpm is hard for a pair of old michelins to contain.
Perhaps we all need 93+ Corvettes with ASR (Traction control) It really makes a difference.

The power curve sheets for Kurts engine are on the notice board in my build shop, he runs up to a 250bhp shot all the time.
The engine has had its problems in development, the fuelling has been a major issue but hopefully that has been cured now with a set of high flow injectors (two sets of head gaskets later).
The engine has so much torque on the giggle gas that the chassis has taken a permanent set. I won't sit on the chassis rolls square any more!!
