Chevrolet Performance DR525 Crate Engine

Big power for the drag strip! Chevrolet Performance’s DR525 sealed drag racing crate helps enable exciting heads-up racing at a lower cost than custom-built engines. It’s an approach Chevrolet Performance implemented in a number of circle track racing series, providing racers with a high-performance engine at a great value.

The DR525 is designed as the spec engine for NMCA’s LS Stock racing class in the LSX Showdown Challenge Series. The 6.2L (376 cubic inches) naturally aspirated engine is rated at 525 horsepower and features several tamper-proof bolts to ensure class compliance.

And while it is the spec engine for the LS Stock class, the DR525 is legal in other classes and drag racing series. It is offered with two part numbers: 19434600 (includes Chevrolet Performance’s Muscle Car Oil Pan) and 19434599 (includes a Gen 4 F-body oil pan). Chevrolet Performance’s custom-calibrated E67-type control system - P/N 19432870 (sold separately, must use C10 fuel only)—must be used with the DR525 in the LS Stock class.

It features a tamper-proof engine control unit.
