Seems like an unwritten rule, if you port superchargers for a living, you must have the baddest car in town. That’s the way the guys at Kong Performance think. Of course, they went supercharged with a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Kong handled the supercharger work and sent the rest out to Late Model Performance (LMP) for the royal treatment. This is how it all turned out. The centerpiece of this Chevy is under the hood. It’s an all-aluminum 7.0-liter LSR motor. The cylinder heads are Frankenstein with titanium valves. Engine internals include a forged crankshaft, custom ground camshaft as well as Read More

Rolling out in a brazen shade of burnt orange, this Ford F-150 resembles a beautiful beast with tusks pointed skyward. This Cowboy Cadillac is determined to whoop-up on some Corvette, Viper, Mustang and Supra tail. Hold on to your hat boys and girls. It’s about to get real. First up is a contest between a 900hp MKIV Supra and a twin turbo Chevy Corvette. The Supra is running a 3.4-liter inline 6-cylinder motor with a 76-millimeter turbo and a 6R80 transmission from a Ford. The controller is a MoTec. Multiple hits here – with split results. Next, the Toyota takes Read More

Tonight, we are taking the action across the border (into Mexico) for some roll racing on a nearly deserted interstate. This dedicated group of street racers have fueled-up their purpose-built roll racers and they are prepared to do battle in the darkness of the wee hours. Join the cameraman as he rides along with these modern-day cowboys as they hit the streets. The following is a sample of the caliber of competition on hand: Twin turbo S550 (Blue) Ford Mustang with a manual transmission (T56) Limitless Performance Turbo (LPF) twin turbo (black) Ford Mustang with an automatic transmission (6R80) Cadillac Read More

Greetings racing enthusiasts and welcome! The focal point of this video is a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. With a stock motor and fuel system, this little bowtie posts consistent 10-second (quarter mile) dig passes and blistering roll racing (1/3-mile @ 60-65 mph start) hits at 150+ mph. The top-tier Corvette Z06 was bountifully equipped from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and a 7-speed manual transmission. It was capable of producing 655hp. Prepared by Petrolwerks, this particular Z06 has been modified but still uses the stock engine (including camshaft) and stock fuel system. The Lingenfelter supercharger has been Read More

Is it a waste of a good Corvette engine? Is it a Gen IV Mustang gone rogue? The answer depends on which manufacturer camp you represent. Chevy purists hate it for the former and Ford loyalists despise it as the latter. Now, don’t get it twisted – when I cut myself, tiny little bowties ooze out – but I see this build from a practical standpoint, and it looks pretty sweet. This “power couple” had the Mustang sitting around when a customer totaled their supercharged Corvette ZR1 with an LS9 mill between the fenders. Out came the blue oval cluster Read More

Like a pack of wild dogs these Corvettes are attacking a Mustang like he’s got peanut butter smeared all over his undercarriage. These things are crazy-fast and ripping through the streets of Old Mexico like a hot knife through butter. Come on and have a gander. You know it’s going to be a great night when your camera car is a (black) Corvette ZR1 with a camshaft and cylinder head upgrade. Oh, and don’t forget a Kong ported blower treatment with an ice water intercooler. Opening up these blowers is yielding some amazing gains in horsepower and torque. Climb in Read More
