Default my ls3 h/c combo added twin turbo on my ls2 c6 z51 vette build list

ls3 heads milled .015. felpro gasket .04. arp head studs, comp springs, hardened pushrods, 228/232 114 lsa cam, 40 lb injectors, ported l76 intake and ported ls2 throttle body, slp double roller timing chain, 160 stat and arp crank bolt. Those parts are already installed. I'm now waiting on my under pulley,Lt headers 1 3/4 3in without cats, and hp pro tuner to finish my build. Everything I've done myself in my 1 car garage and I'll only have paid roughly 3gz after I sold my stock stuff. This price of my build including painting my intake and after I tune this car taking it to the dyno for about 2-3 pulls. I'm hoping for at least 10's if she hooks. I have rpm lvl 5 tranny and c6 18x10.5 rear rims wrapped in nitto 555r but those suck on a strip. I also have the borla quad 4 axle back but since I made 3in dumps before the axle back these been in my garaged sitting for about 2 years

well Thanks After tax return I'll be adding nitrous.. Just a 150 shot maybe 200. That's still in debate because I really need to fix the corvette wheel hop issue.. Might be getting transmission mounts, hardened axle shafts,4.11, DTE brace and a decent clutch first. I'm in the military and on a very limited budget so I need to pick in choose wisely.

XER Comp cams lobes 228/232 .588/.595 lift 114 LSA
. If you know about corvette forums, well then this is spinmonsters set up he sold me. He made 474 rwhp with 4.10 rear end. Only supporting mods he have on me is lighter flywheel, z06 maf, and varram (I have K&n atm). I got the heads milled .015 like he suggested and went with a .04 head gasket like he suggested. I should make same hp if not more. Here's a link to a clone of his car - but he went with ls3 heads (heads I have now) and pulleys + aluminum flywheel over this guys vette. Same cam

I believe I already do that. This is spinning hard with an untuned corvette near stock with nitto drag radials.... good thing 2nd grabbed good . Of course I'm car 56, car 54 was an older mustang. 12.4 spinning


car 6 is mine and the other car was an 04 z06. Just another example of how great nittos 555r grab on tracks

Yea being an 05 you might wanna strengthen your drive train first.. Or at least the differential.

Best bang for the buck.. I highly recommend doing a H/c package if your going this route. With the ls3 you'll actually lose compression.... Since I can't afford FI I decided to get the heads milled so I can get compression back

I also agree, for what you can buy heads and an intake for and the power you get you cant beat it.
