A 1998 Corvette with a stroked LS1 topped by a supercharger lays down almost 920 horsepower at the rear wheels.This Dyno Blast video features a 1998 Chevrolet Corvette in action on the rollers. This C5 Corvette has been built by the crew at HorsePower Addicts to create far more power than a stock "98 Corvette.In stock form, this 1998 ‘Vette would have packed 345 horsepower and 350lb-ft of torque at the crankshaft of the 350 cubic inch engine, yielding to somewhere in the area of 300 horsepower at the rear wheels after you factor in drivetrain losses.This 1998 ‘Vette is powered by an LS1 stroker motor built by the HorsePower Addicts, which has been enlarged to 408 cubic inches. When that 408ci V8 is fitted with a supercharger, an upgraded fuel system, a meth injection kit and headers, the output is increased way beyond those stock numbers.Way, way beyond.In the video below, the blown and stroked LS1 Corvette is pushed to its limits on the rollers, starting with a simple cruise through the first three gears. Once the driver is in 4th gear, where he wants to be for the dyno pull, he puts the hammer down and lets the monster small block do its thing. Amidst the whine of the supercharger, the whoosh of the relief valve and the road of exhaust, the stroked Corvette clears its throat and lays down big power to the rear wheels and it sounds incredible while in action.As the video ends, we get a quick look at the engine bay of this bright red C5 Corvette below the camera turns to the dyno screen. You can see peak numbers of 919.9 horsepower and 777.22lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels.The swap from the naturally aspirated 5.7L engine to the supercharged 408 lifted the output of this C5 Corvette by about 600+ horsepower or 200%.
