Engine: Frequently a forged 7.0L LS7 (427 cu in) or forged LSX block, with lower compression pistons to handle high boost.Horsepower: Varies wildly by build, generally from 800–1,000 HP on low boost (10–12 PSI) up to 1,500+ HP on race fuel.Torque: Often exceeds 1,000 lb-ft, frequently exceeding the power figures due to the high-displacement V8 combined with forced induction.Turbochargers: Common configurations include custom fabricated kits, UPP kits with twin Comp oilless turbos (e.g., 6871), or Garrett turbos.Fuel System: Upgraded injectors (e.g., FIC 60lb/hr or larger) and dual pumps are essential to support the increased air volume.Drivetrain: A standard 6-speed manual is standard but often upgraded with a heavy-duty clutch (e.g., RPS triple disc). Some high-end builds utilize a 4L80 4-speed automatic for drag racing.Performance (Typical Built Spec): High-speed drag racing focused; 1000 RWHP setups can achieve 8-second quarter-mile times.
