Feb. 07, 2007 By Press Release

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Katech Performance has introduced its “Street Attack” LS7 crate engine for enthusiasts who want a fast ride mindful of its street manners.

With Katech 11:1 compression forged pistons, solid small-end rod bushings, a street-optimized camshaft and valvetrain enhancements, the 427 cubic-inch displacement (4.125-inch bore; 4.000-inch stroke) engine produces 600 horsepower yet is sufficiently refined for everyday operation.

“Our Street Attack LS7 represents top-tier engineering for street applications, be it the Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, GTO or a custom build,” said Caleb Newman, vice president, director aftermarket operations, Katech Performance. “It really is the perfect choice for high-horsepower, daily driven vehicles.”

The engine is one of four that make up Katech Performance’s “LS7 Arsenal” that includes a “Sneak Attack,” “Track Attack” and “Air Attack” option. Each engine is completely disassembled, blueprinted and enhanced by the same technicians that produce championship winning engines for all Katech race programs.

Since 1978, Katech has captured more than 50 driver’s and manufacturer’s championships competing in the world’s most prestigious racing leagues, including the SCCA SPEED World Challenge, American Speed Association (ASA), International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and NASCAR®.
