This made me want to fire up GT4 and run the ring.

Nah, that Jag I posted does make me feel funny in the swimsuit area, but watching them assemble that motor, not so much. I do really like how they torque the headbolts on LS motors though.
I'm not in a tither...I just can't believe you of anyone would believe wikipedia to be accurate. :)
Don't go quoting wiki like it's fact. Please notice the NOTES section to the right.

They averaged about 1400 per year in the 5 year run of the old ZR1's. 6939 total in 5 years.
I think I read something like 1500-2000 a year.

well, a bone stock 5.3 with an intercooled radix kit makes like 425-450, so I'm betting 600-650 isn't at all out of the question. The better question is how much more power will a set of full length...
yeah, I always thought that was odd that ford slapped the intercooler in the lifter valley. I'm betting your right that it just sits low inside the valley, didn't really think about it that way from...
sucks that there is a pic of the intercooler, but not of the screw setup. Must be something fairly interesting looking at how short the blower is compared to the intercooler.
ah, the other shoe drops on "Blue Devil"/"Corvette SS", whatever the else they are calling the "super vette"
