1500HP RPM C8 Corvette – Street Hits

June 11th, 2022

When the dust settles and all the bolts are tightened, it’s time for the payoff. That’s when you finally get to test drive the vehicle and discover – in real time – actual horsepower gains. This is the day that Race Proven Motorsports (RPM) gets to “bust the gas” on a C8 Chevrolet Corvette that has been outfitted with a twin turbo package. We get to go along for the ride.

The latest version of the Corvette (the C8) is a brand-new game. It features a mid-engine setup in a rear-wheel drive configuration. The stock engine is a 6.2-liter V8 that can generate 495hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Shifting is handled by an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The stock C8 ‘Vette can accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 2.8-seconds and turn the quarter-mile in 11-seconds. Let’s see what RPM can do about that.

First, they add a pair of turbochargers and a giant intercooler. To offset the added air induction, they bump-up the fuel supply and upgrade the fuel injection system. Other add-ons include performance exhaust, a cold air intake system and advanced tuning.

Climb in, buckle up and let’s get this show on the road – virtually.
