Update!  Matt Powers Formula D LS7 Powered S14
 The dry sump allows the car to be a true front midship, kind of like the S2000.  The engine is mounted several inches lower and further rearward than Dai Yoshihara’s all conquering Falken S13.  You can see that the front wheel centerline is in front of the #1 spark plug!  The weight distribution is 52/48.  We figure that this should be one good handling car!  We have serious dry sump envy.

 The result, 563 Hp and 561 lb/ft of torque.  Not bad for a basically stock LS7 with mild bolt ons.  Over 300 lb/ft of torque from around 3300 rpm to 7100.  Look at the wide and flat power and torque curves.  That is a lot of area under the curve.  It’s flat linear and usable power.  No wonder the LS is getting popular as a swap.

 The clock to Long Beach is ticking….
