This Dyno Blast Wednesday video features a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette. However, this C5 is not powered by the 350 horsepower LS1 which came under the hood of the rest of the 5th generation Vettes. Instead, this black C5 is powered by a 2005 LS2 from a C6 car, but it isn"t a stock LS2 it is a specially prepared 6.0L V8 built by the folks at Lingenfelter Performance.The LS2 in this ‘Vette is fitted with Lingenfelter/Edelbrock cylinder heads, an Lingenfelter/Comp Cams camshaft, long tube headers, Borla exhaust and a long list of other high performance components. You can find the entire engine build list in the video details rather than us spelling it all out here, but the available power created by this LPE LS2 is sent through a GM 4L65E automatic transmission with a 3200 stall torque converter.While the mod list is extensive, this 2001 Corvette doesn"t look far from stock in this video, so it would probably be quite the sleeper if not for the roar of the exhaust. However, with 456 rear wheel horsepower and 425lb-ft of rear wheel torque, this car should be significantly quicker than your average C5.When the video begins, the black C5 Corvette is already moving the rollers and after a few seconds at cruising speed, the driver puts the hammer down and the RPMs soar. The LS2 roars as the Corvette reaches the top of the gear range and it sounds almost as sweet when the driver backs off as when it was accelerating.From there, we get a quick look at the dyno sheet, revealing 456 rear wheel horsepower and 425lb-ft of rear wheel torque.Tags: C5, C5 Corvette, Corvette, Dyno Blast, LS2
