Finally being recognized as an international supercar, the Chevrolet Corvette is better than ever. Down in Houston, Texas, a firm called Late Model Racecraft (LMR) is kicking it up a notch above that. This clip takes us inside a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 build that delivers some big results.

The video opens with a baseline dyno pull to establish how much power the ‘Vette is making before any modifications are made. With it’s factory supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, this ZR1 posts maximum output readings of 650rwhp and 663 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s in line with factory numbers. A second dyno test and tune session will take pace after mods are completed.

Key modifications for the LMR 1000HP package include:

• LT5 Custom Grind Camshaft
• LT5 Double Valve Spring Kit
• LT5 Hardened Push Rods
• Billet Front Timing Cover
• Double Roller Timing Chain
• LMR 5-inch Titanium Cold Air Induction
• Lower (Crankshaft) Pulley Upgrade
• Gates Green Belt
• Longtube Stainless Steel Exhaust Headers
• Stainless Steel Mid Pipes
• High-Flow Catalytic Converters
• LMR Breather System
• HP Tuners E99 ECM unlock
• HP Tuners TCM unlock
• NGK spark plugs
• LMR Spark Plug Wire Set

After the parts are installed, and a second dyno pull completed, this ZR1 is ready for the street test and tune. Is that burning rubber that I smell?
