This week"s Dyno Blast Wednesday video features a C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 stretching its legs on the rollers, but this is not your average C6 Z06. This Corvette was built by LateModelRacecraft (LMR) in Texas and it is fitted with a pair of Precision Turbo snails mounted at the back end of the car, tucked neatly under the rear bumper cover. Of course, this car doesn"t have the rear bumper cover, which gives us a great look at those remotely located turbochargers and a few other features of this American supercar.In addition to the remote twin turbo setup, this C6 Corvette Z06 is equipped with a meth injection kit and a nitrous setup, along with a big fuel cell setup and what is likely a long list of internal engine modifications none of which are explained in the video.Some people will criticize this type of turbo setup, as the length of turbo tubing between the snails at the rear of the car and the throttle body under the hood can cause unwanted boost lag and some boost pressure loss, but that doesn"t seem to have much of an impact on this C6 Corvette Z06.After showing us a ton of close-up shots of the aftermarket components on this Corvette (which are best viewed by pausing and playing the video each time the image changes), the action begins with this boosted LS7 screaming as it works the dyno. Once the driver really puts the hammer down, the Corvette dances on the rollers, but he manages to get enough traction to register a whopping 1,244 rear wheel horsepower and 1,029lb-ft of rear wheel torque.With numbers like those, I would guess that the owner of this Corvette Z06 isnt too worried about lag or boost loss and best of all these numbers were recorded with a tune for straight 93 octane pump gas. The nitrous and meth injection werent in use here, so this Corvette has far more potential than the 1244/1029 recorded here.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
