2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - Blown Away
Vint and Katrina Fantin took their 2003 Corvette Z06 to the masterminds at Ligenfelter to improve the already-hot rideWith a combustion engine, there are only so many ways to feed the powerplant. Normally-aspirated engines reign in the majority, as the engine gasps in its intake charge by means of its naturally produced vacuum and gravity. Originally tunneled in through a carburetor where fuel is sprayed into the intake charge, normal aspiration (for the most part) evolved into fuel injection, a method where the ingested air flows through a throttle body, meeting up with the fuel in the intake runners or directly in the combustion chamber as with direct-injection engines. Either way, the intake charge was susceptible to a litany of variants that could hinder the vehicle's performance. Higher altitudes starved the engine for the necessary air, altering the combustion's fuel-to-air mixture. Certain engine speeds and rpms limited the conventional carburetor's usefulness, often floating the throttle or maxing it out.
