I have a blown C4 and it starts no probs and runs perfect. A blown motor should start on the button as the forced induction greatly improves intial mixture input.I suggest your friend gets the motor set properly or he will soon be needing another 355cui motor.
Except that 355ci isn't that huge a motor. This motor's got some issues if you have to keep your foot on the gas that long. The most insane big blocks turn over with no problem compared to this one. I drive a C4, but this one doesn't sound too healthy.
Well I think the engine is just meant to run at higher rpm, it doesn't sound like a regular street car. Therefore it may be hard to keep the engine at a low idle especially while starting it. They may have a long overlap. It doesn't matter what big/small block you use, it's how you tune it. You can build a 454 for street, or you can build it for the strip. And building it for the strip compromises its use on the road.
Does anyone have a link on the car so I can check it out?

my c4 does the same thing, i think the timings off or the engines not getting enough fuel

Maybe, but the engine in the video is everything but stock.

True, but this Vette is not tuned in the vid.

So they did not tune the EFI to work with the forced induction? I hear pixiedust nowadays does the trick.

Alot of cars with big engine/horse power have a hard time turning over.
