ERL at Hot Rod Power Tour

Thursday, 18 June 2009 17:12

The ERL 500 CI LS2 Superdeck II made its debut in our C5 Corvette at the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour. We installed the big ERL 8.2 liter LS2 500 CI Superdeck II in the C5 on Tuesday and got it off the Chassis Dyno Tuesday night after putting down 538 whp with 509 ft lbs of torque on 93 Octane. The engine is our basic all-motor street package which put down 632 hp with 620 ft lbs of torque on our Engine Dyno. This package gives you a reliable, “real” pump gas all-motor street car making almost 540 whp as we demonstrated at the Hot Rod Power Tour. And with nearly 1000 miles on this 8.2 liter beast, we never had one problem. It idles at 1100 rpm and redlines at 6500 rpm. The oil pressure stayed right between 42 -45 psi. On the interstate, the engine temp never got over 165 degrees. In town it never got over 198 degrees. We met so many great people who said so many positive things about this unique engine along the way and they reminded us why we are in this business.
