cmc35 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I may be wrong but it wasnt til the S197 came into CMC when we're now upping horsepower and discussing ways to prevent tears in the chassis... My understanding was the LS1 would have to richen up so much to drop power that it was washing their cylinders down... which isn't good... Almost stock LS1's make good AI power without any work... CMC2 power levels came about solely because of the addition of the S197 platform. -chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Al F. Posted November 2, 2012 Members Share Posted November 2, 2012 The current hp/tq limit was set based on the ls1 not the s197. Essentially, that is as low as we dared to go with the limited resources we have for testing. Once that number was agreed on, we set to work on hardware allowances for the other engines to get there.
