Default How to get 500rwhp from the LS3 YET...

Be stealthy. I want more power for my C6 but i don't want people to know i don't have anything more then headers and stingers. I want 500rwhp but i don't think a sleeper cam alone is going to get me there along with headers.

What do you guys think? Will i be close with a custom ground sleeper cam? If so how close? 480?

A well-hidden nitrous system would put you well above 500rwhp in a very stealthy way.

Otherwise, a custom-ground sleeper cam will get you close, and a set of TSP's Ported LS3 heads should get you there solidly.

Good luck!

Joey,

Would it be safe to add a N20 kit and possibly a 100 shot ontop of H/C on the LS3?


BTW - THANKS

If you're just looking for 500rwhp, you won't need to spray on top of the heads & cam setup. You can make 500rwhp two ways: 1) stock with nitrous or 2) heads & cam, no nitrous.

If you wanted to go crazy and spray a 100shot WITH the heads & cam, you certainly could - but make sure your first spray is on a dyno while your tuner is closely monitoring the Air/Fuel ratio. A fuel system upgrade will likely be in order.

Thank you so much joey. Can LS7 heads bolt directly to my LS3 or would i need to do mods?

Our Thresher 550 package will get you there. Our 2008 C6 made 507rwhp with this same package.

Thanks,

you should check cf.com. LG has built a couple 501rwhp ls3's with a cam and boltons only. I believe its the G6x4 or something like that??? I think I read it was something like $5700 installed for everything to go from bone stock to 501rwhp....
