Default Picked up a new '09 LS3 vette *maiden voyage + dyno pics*

It has been 3 years since I sold my '01 z06. Alot has changed since then praise God.

I still can not believe there is a red C6 LS3 in the garage.

Picking up the car:


Second stop:


Car gets strapped down:


And the Dyno Results 389rwhp!! in 103 intake temp.


My kiddos on some virtual Speed Racer laps:

I'm planning either head/cam or supercharger. I'm leaning towards supercharger right now. A&A kit.

Have you seen that techco twin screw. 3L with according to them the largest intercooler in a twin screw, and it fits under the stock hood.

I have seen it but I'm leaning more towards the A&A route.

Hi Eric, been a long time. I feel like an old man being on these forums now.. I coached T-ball this past summer.

I bet I am one of the few 30+yr old LS1techers.

No, I picked it up today over at Classic Chevy in Grapevine. I didn't check w/ Darren maybe I should of but I ended up with a great deal on this vette.

Z51 package, NPP exhaust, carbon fiber interior pieces with some leather stitched sides to the console.. looks great. $44.5k was $52k!!

Well, not the only one, but I understand how you feel. Half the threads I read or post to I want to start with "Damn kids today!!" LOL


Getting old sucks! But, then you can finally get a Vette so it all works out. I'm workin on getting mine, too! By the way, car looks great. Half fun and teach them kids about V8 power!!

1LT?

Good looking car. I love red.

I would go with the ECS kit over the A&A kit personally.

Yep 1LT. I may add a DVD/Nav so my son can watch movies @ car shows. Speed racer, Cars and Ironman are his top 3.
