Default What's the most power you have seen out of a LS3

About to do a new build and I'm thinking about doing a heads/cam LS3. What's the most RWHP you have seen out of a LS3 car.

Stroked ls3 easy 550. I'd say ls3 with good heads and cam to match 500 without skipping a beat.

I have personally raced a very well setup ls3, cam boltons, d1 procharger, e85, meth and got beat by it pretty bad. It is making over 800 rhwp.

I did 575/530rw four or five years ago with a 416 and cathedral heads. It is getting some upgraded mods soon and will be back on the dyno. We made 510/470rw with a 230's cam and factory ported heads on a stock cube Camaro.

Friend of mine put PRC 255 heads and their 231/236 cam with catless TS
longtubes and made 544 rw...STD in a 12' GS vette,M6...after he ixnayed
that combo (rod bearing didn't like a 3 minute burnout @ 7Gs) he had TS
ship him a 416 in which we swapped the cam and heads. He hasn't had it
back on the rollers...just street tuning...but the butt cheek dyno says holy
F@CK !!
