Because too much is never enough, to talented crew over at Vengeance decided to take an already mega machine and make it even faster. Adding go-fast goodies such as:
- Vengeance Racing Stage III Camshaft Kit
- American Racing Longtube Header System
- Innovators West 9% Overdrive Balancer Kit
- Vengeance Racing Auxiliary Fuel System – E85 Flex Fuel
- AlkyControl Dual Nozzle Methanol Injection Kit w/ Custom Trunk Mounted Resevoir
- RPS BC3 Triple Disc Carbon Clutch Kit w/ Tilton Slave Cylinder
- RSD C7 Line Lock Kit
The crew managed to squeeze out some seriously impressive numbers as previewed in the video above, an 115RWHP horsepower bump to be exact an already healthy Callaway C7 Z06.
For reference here is the original Callaway release of the C7 Z06 package:
757 bhp / 777 lb-ft Z06-based Corvette upgrade boasts 32% larger supercharger, triple intercoolers, and consistent power – lap after lap
The Numbers – Equipped with Callaway’s GenThree Supercharger, the Corvette Z06 now produces 757 bhp @ 6,200 rpm and 777 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm (SAE). A launch to 60 mph is now achieved in 2.8 seconds, and a quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 131 mph.
Why Go Big, When You Can Go Bigger? – Size Matters. To reach that power (which is up from 650 bhp / 650 lb-ft) the supercharger itself needed to be bigger since the output of a positive displacement supercharger is proportionate to its size. The Callaway GenThree supercharger is 32% larger in displacement (2300cc vs 1740cc).
Cooling – Callaway engineers recognize that a key contributor to maximizing power is reduction of inlet air temperature associated with forced induction. Callaway’s unique triple-element intercooler configuration provides significantly lower and well-managed inlet charge air temperatures than single or smaller dual-element designs. The supercharger housing extends through the hood, thereby exposing it to outside ambient airflow and adding an element of convective cooling. The supercharger is visible without opening the hood, and heat is inherently extracted from the engine compartment.
Bold Packaging – The supercharger assembly is no longer cramped below the hood line. The completely redesigned manifold helps maintain consistent charge air temperatures with exceptionally low restriction and even airflow distribution to all cylinders, which results in a broad torque band producing over 500 lb-ft from 2,000 to 6,400 rpm. This translates to more consistent power delivery in severe-duty driving environments, a compromise typically observed with “underhood” approaches. A 10-rib drive pulley system was also integrated to prevent belt-slippage.
Patents – The technical features of the Callaway GenThree supercharger are significant enough that utility and design aspects of the system have been awarded patent pending status through the US Patent and Trademark Office.
