Aaric’s 2014 C7 Project SOS
Aaric purchased this C7 from our customer who we originally built it for. This car was used to develop many great products, and was big reason we got such a leg up on the Gen V LTX platform. It originally was a stock bottom end heads/cam, novi 2200R, headers, flex, meth combo that made 840 RWHP and did it for years running many half-mile events. When Aaric purchased it he wanted to take it to the next level and really see what this platform was capable of. So we put in play this combo for him.

Car makes 1200 wheel on the 4.5/10% lower and has now run a best of 7.9 in the 1/4 at 170 (pulling the chute early) it went a 5.1 at 138 in the 1/8th.
Update 12/15/2025.
In Dec of of 2024 we finally had an engine issue where a lifter broke, since installing the original combo in 2018 we have made 300+ 1/4 mile passes in the car over the years, lots of dyno pulls, done 200+ mile drive events, etc. We pulled the engine and sent it back to LME to get it refreshed and updated with the latest items out now. It received CID heads with their port program, a new revised camshaft, and new pistons as the skirts were starting to wear due to the years of abuse. We recently ran the car again and in almost 3k DA with no ice in the water box we matched our previous best 1/8th mile ET & MPH. This shows promise for the new combo as the best before was done in the cool weather and iced.
