Man this is a level of tenacity that is rare
-
It’s time GM brings the big block corvette back.
-
That thing is going to be wild. Can’t believe I’m seeing a big block running direct injection. Pretty amazing.
-
This the best thing I have ever seen in my 53 years of life, this way more than great!!!! 👍👍👍
-
I doubt anyone asked for or expected this build, but holy crap is it awesome. The effort just to source one off parts and make everything work with the OEM software is beyond impressive. Surely GM has to be blown away, too. It's a real shame the 8.1 never got the love it should have especially since the godzilla is being supported in the aftermarket. Continue on and I hope you'll be driving it soon.

With two of you tenacious, super intelligent and capable guys working together you have such a team.

I knew I recognized Larry's voice! He saved my c4 when my optispark went out. I never took my vette anywhere else. Im so glad to see hes working his magic on the new C8s. He is such a wealth of knowledge on Corvettes. Its nice to hear his voice again. Keep up the amazing work!

This is the best project on youtube right now

When a man just wants to drive his big block C8, this is what you get 👍🏻👍🏻

Larry just wanted to prove old guys can deal with modern technology computers and sensors. So he thought for a while what would be the most difficult swap take an old big block and convert it to run new technology in the most difficult car ever with it's massive amount of electrical connection and huge wiring harness there's no doubt soon it will run and perform just as he dreamed up one night

For tuning support I'd recommend Peitz Performance in Tomball, Tx. No one knows these C8's like the team there
-
That Corvette sounds so wicked with the 8.1 Big Block!
