My C5 LS3 Vortech Project
Hey guys, just wanted to share my current project. I installed a cam only LS3 into my C5 last year and decided it was time to bump the power up a bit. I came up on a deal on a A&A Vortech kit that I couldnt pass it. Im hoping to have the car done this week. Im expecting over 600rwhp on 7-8psi on a safe 91oct tune. Car is stock L92 block, stock LS3 heads, TSP 231/236 114lsa and 1 3/4 TSP headers.

Well just drivetrain and chasis mods. the 4L65E is fully built and has a Yank SS3600 in it. The rear is from a Z06 and has hardened gears. C5Z06 springs and custom valved DRM Bilstein shocks. Oh and the custom exhaust I built. I made an xpipe with two dynomax bullet mufflers that dump under the car. I picked up over 2/10s and 2mph in the 1/8mi with that setup.

Got a quick little update from the tech today. The car was leaning out up top so we stepped it up with 60lb injectors and a double fuel pump setup. The car still needs tuning but it made over 570rwhp on the dyno late in the day. Not bad since it was 100*F outside and 70% humidity. Hopefully theyll do some early morning tuning when its a bit cooler. Cant wait to drive it already.
