Today’s Dyno Blast video features a C6 Chevrolet Corvette making a handful of runs on the rollers making monster power and blowing huge flames on deceleration.Unfortunately, the details on this Chevrolet Corvette are short, but we can see in the video that it appears to be powered by some variation of the LSX crate engine with a gigantic supercharger from ProCharger strapped to the front end. With the exception of the uniquely vented hood and the parachute mount this Corvette doesn"t look all that outrageous while at rest, but as soon as owner Jason White fires it up there is no question that this is one wicked beast of a Corvette.After the owner drives the blown Corvette around the grounds a bit to let it warm up, he revs the engine over and over, letting us hear the wicked hiss of the blow off system between the rasp of the cammed LSX. We get to watch and listen to this monster Corvette prepare for the dyno and in the background, we can hear someone talking about how this car has had issues getting traction on the dyno.To fix that, the dyno run is being made with three guys sitting in the rear cargo area of the black C6 Corvette during the dyno run. This puts at least 500 pounds over the rear wheels, helping to improve traction, and it appears to work.The video shows this ProCharged Corvette make a handful of runs with each one being harder and ending in a more impressive ball of fire from the exhaust tips.As impressive as the sound and the fireball are, the dyno results are even more impressive, with this Corvette laying down a whopping 1,040 rear wheel horsepower.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
