Default Re: BJK67 ( Bruce Knierim's)1969 L88 Corvette

Tim, I think the tires would definitely light up big time. When we went through the engine it dynoed at 540 corrected SAE BHP. The engine is 100% factory original specs and was "born" in the car including the carb.

Right now the red car is kind of a Trailer Queen, but Bruce and I did give my other L88 (also '69 open chamber) some excercise a few months ago, and when you get on it in 1st gear at about 15 mph it lights them up until you get out of it. We each did it and put down about 200 yards of two very black stripes both times! Then I put new tires (repro) on it and took it to the NCRS National in San Antonio for the L88 Display.
