I'm just a guy who enjoys sharing knowledge and automotive history in the making. Over the last year, I started documenting behind the scenes of a San Diego land speed racing team and engine designer Pete Aardema and Kevin Braun. I have a passion to show it like it is, no scripted shows or fancy video edits. I'm learning as I go and have recently put down my wrench and picked up a GoPro 10 camera and started documenting. Although the temptation to put the camera down and grab my wrench is presented in front of me often, I'm sticking to the GoPro so that you can experience firsthand how cool this stuff really is!
World's First Rochester Supercharged Fuel Injected Corvette. Zora Duntov's Engineering Marvel.
The combination of Zora Arkus-Duntov's engineering genius, a rare supercharged Rochester fuel injection unit, and two experts like Dave Crane and Larry Hofer discussing it should make for a fascinating and informative dive into Corvette lore.
This1959 GM prototype supercharged fuel injected Corvette must have been a truly advanced machine for its time, blending forced induction with the precision of Rochester's mechanical fuel injection. This pairing likely pushed the performance envelope and served as a glimpse into the possibilities of future high-performance vehicles.
The fact that Larry Hofer is part of this conversation adds another layer of intrigue-his modern engineering endeavors, like the 8.1 L direct injection project, contrast sharply with Duntov's innovations. Documented by Greg Quirin 12/29/24

I live in Rochester, and worked in the plant that built it. 😁
That is pretty cool!would love to hear some of your stories!
Noisy I bet a tesla would out run this so quitely
I see 4 cams where's the 5th? Calling bs
Forget the conversation about what's genuine original or not.... The sunglasses are properly stowed and ready to go! 😎👍👍
He wasn't lying... I mean that's how I would test "piston durability " hahahahah
COOLER THAN THE NIPPLES ON A POLAR BEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! What a beauty!
Glad to see this garage looks just like mine (except for the vettes)...
Very interesting Greg! I bet there was plenty of prototypes that people just don't know about so they just say, no way! Can you imagine if Pete & Kevin ever worked for a major manufacturer what kind of things they would have gotten up too? 🤣🤣Love hearing about this stuff, be sure to keep us in the loop if you uncover any more unheard of engine development stuff!! 👍
Super interesting stuff
I can watch these guys for hours. The work they do is amazing. I wish there were more videos more often. Great work guy's.
Great videos. I could watch these videos for hours lol
The general motors team who invented the system were the only ones who could work on it at the time they understood it took time to catch on years decades later
General public motor company the peoples ideas in inventing auto mobiles .
A Koenigseggs cousin, lol.
Congratulations!
Scary.
And, he has 2 of them.
Drop the phrase “marry together”. No need to zoom in and out.
Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
"Piston durability project." brilliant way to get it past the bean-counters.
Super Duper Stuff Thanks for making this video - But this isn't exactly a prototype because there are more than one of them - CORRECT?
Its not turned yet and he wants its to loader
So basically, these two Corvettes are NOT factory fuel-injected & super-charged cars. These guys researched, rounded up parts & then added the option/options to their cars. So the question is, did any Corvettes arrive at dealerships with this option combo & if so, we’re they sold to the public/consumers this way?
Hilarious to see the guy with the messy grey hair attempt to prove he knows more. He never outgrew his adolescence ego wise.
I just cant get my head around why anyone would have done this? But gotta give the guy credit for compleation. But why?
You gotta name this the C8.1 😂
Throw an air intake on the roof and a blower
Cool information. Back when General Motors was damn proud to be Chevrolet!
This proves that if you out ran a GM car it was because they let you
Very interesting. The blower was from their parts bin too, unlike the Paxton Ford offered on Thunderbirds. I can't help but wonder what products would have been the result of both Ford and Chevy offering supercharged versions of their sports cars.
You guys hear of George Schreffler? He is the fuelie guy on the east coast
Wow this is amazing, I never knew this existed, thank you so much for sharing this!
People hate that they don't know anything about prototypes, therefore you will be attacked as a fake... this is absolutely EPIC stuff... love it
Ah it's old I'll Give ya $3500 for it
Vintage Prototype or modern prototype?
Super gay heavy as a battleship anchor engine from an RV.
So how do you register something like this??? A pallet of money left on an airstrip???😸
Get some blown fuel injected Corvette small block love!
Good stuff but show us the engine lord I was screaming point the camera down a few degrees. We want to see the car not the owners. Or get someone with some vision to operate the camera. You missed a lot of cool stuff in that garage. No offence meant.....
Im glad he mentioned the short lifespan of the Offy radius buckets. That was my first thought when he said they were keyed. Very cool stuff thank you for sharing!
What, in that garage, is in the box that hasn't been opened in the longest time?
Love to see it running!
Thanks for another great video
Beautiful car I’d love to take it for a ride even if I don’t get to drive lol 😂 thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing ! I never heard of these engines. Its amazing what GM had going on in the 50s & 60s! I didn't see the Short, But I will go find it!...Happy New Year!
I love seeing this. I see so much methodical consistent progress marching you guys forward and it's inspiring. Easy to get discouraged on big projects, so you have to find joy in all the steps and I see that in y'alls work. Happy 2025 new year to everyone. Keep smiling Pete, 😊
Great video Greg. It has taken these guys years to get the whole story and piece these units together. What a dedication to so all of this. Really is an amazing story. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year. 👍🇺🇸👍
Folks, please STFU and get to it.
Wow you tried to answer your own questions and talked while you’re getting answers.
