Power comes 200 rpm too late otherwise perfect.I highly doubt the real thing has light weight forged pistons, but anything less isn't up for the task without extra quality which just goes to show how needed individual quality sliders for bottom end parts are. If I had to guess what pistons the real thing has, I'd say hypereutectic.
I also don't know what fuel it runs on, I got it working on regular however it would start knocking if you changed the pistons to cast.
oh thank you for the fast work corvette, and from my stepfather owning one i can confirm it runs on regular unleaded, i have no clue on the internals but if it is cast id accept your excuse
Galt Motors, excelence since 1945
(PS, Galt automotive is still Galt motors, i use it interchangably)
