Much better than an LS7.

Nah, the LS7 is 505hp. Right now I'm only about 400-425. When I am finished, it'll be about 550-600!
it'* still better. It'* not always about peak horsepower that makes it better.

Wow, you should be trapping in the 130mph range then.

New ZO6'* trap 124mph so you should get em by that much by around 140 or so.
