It is a professionally built, forged-engine, supercharged performance machine that combines serious power with the refinement, comfort and reliability expected from a modern Corvette. The build was completed by Vengeance Racing with the goal of creating a Corvette capable of performing flawlessly whenever called upon while retaining the street manners and dependability of the factory platform. Rather than simply adding boost to a stock engine, this Grand Sport received a carefully selected combination of proven components designed to support substantial power. At the center of the build is an East Coast Supercharging NOVI 1500 centrifugal supercharger system. The LT1 was strengthened with a Vengeance Racing drop-in forged piston and connecting rod package and upgraded with a Vengeance Racing Stage III camshaft kit. Additional engine-bay upgrades include Vengeance Racing raised-letter valve covers, a Mighty Mouse Solutions ''Wild'' catch-can system, a large electronic throttle body and custom supercharger plumbing. The engine compartment also features a custom-painted intake manifold cover with detailed skeletal-style artwork, giving the build a distinctive presentation that matches its performance. An upgraded aluminum radiator and high-performance electric fan and shroud assembly help manage temperatures during street use and hard driving. The fuel system was upgraded to support the supercharged combination with a GM LT4 high-pressure fuel pump, LT4 injectors and a DSX Tuning auxiliary fuel pump. A Vengeance Racing Flex Fuel kit allows the car to take advantage of ethanol-blended fuel when properly tuned, further enhancing the versatility of the package. Exhaust flow is handled by Kooks 2-inch long-tube headers feeding a 3-inch X-pipe. The system exits through four black Corsa Performance exhaust tips, producing the aggressive tone expected from a cammed and supercharged LT1. Power is delivered through the Corvette's 8-speed automatic transmission, which received a Pure Transmission build or upgrade in August 2023. A Circle D Specialties triple-disc torq
