If the standard C6 Corvette’s 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque leave you wanting, and you can’t wait for the new Z06 (AW, Dec. 13), longtime Corvette modifier Callaway Cars offers this suggestion: the C6-based SuperNatural Corvette, available early next year. For $12,970, Callaway mods (custom induction system, equal-length headers, stainless exhaust, custom cylinder heads and camshaft) bump the LS2 V8’s output to 451 hp and 425 lb-ft. Another $19,950 boosts displacement to 6.8-liters, producing 550 hp and 525 lb-ft. Get more information at callawaycars.com "

$19,950 boosts displacement to 6.8-liters??? Not big enough! How about 7.4?

...but that is still considered within the "small block" family

All alumn. small block Chevrolet

7.4L might be beyond the outer limits for the bore & stroke on that one
