Check out this GM profile feature on Mr. Jordan Lee, the Chief Engineer and Program Manager of 2014 Corvette Stingray’s new LT1 V8 engine
Jordan Lee has a long history with the fifth-generation small block engine.
Hennessey Performance sets the bar high for its upcoming tuning packages for the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray by promising up to as much 1000 HP for the new Stingray.
Besides these figures, details are scant so far, but the Texas based tuner promises it can supercharge the 6.2L LT1 V8 engine in the 2014 Corvette Stingray to produce approximately 700 HP, while a twin-turbocharger kit will offer anywhere from 800 to 1000 HP (up from 450 HP in the factory 2014 Corvette).
The C7 Corvette Stingray engine, the LT1, will be one of GM’s most impressive mass produced engine ever, outputting 450 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque from 6.2 liters of displacement.
But, according to some tuners, it may be closer to the limits of its performance envelope in production form than the LS. In this article, Ken Lingenfelter (of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering), explains why he thinks that tuners may not be able to squeeze much more than 700HP out of the LT1.
