IIRC, the transmission is rated for 570 ft-lbs and max RPM is around 7400. No max HP is stated. The S/C produces less than 20% more TQ than the DCT...Leave a comment:

There's not enough room to make the LT6 more powerful in a meaningful manner, so a plain NA motor isn't going to do it. Based upon the CAD that has been...Leave a comment:
