Andy,
I believe Don used the VG30DET and not the twin cam motor . For what I
understand
from the Z guys is the VG30 single cam turbo using the VG33 truck short
block has
a wider , and lower power band. One of the Z31 guys puts out close to 600 HP
and
well over 500 ft. lbs of torque . I guess that would break a few axles :)
