2010 camaro build suggestions. I currently have a ls3 manual camaro. It has stock motor with a tvs2300 pushing 6.5# through ARH LT. Full 4in intake, methanol injection and a texas speed cam that I will post up the specs for it in the am. I was gonna do little things to it from here, but we blew out the trans and have decided since that will be built lets try to do some other crazy stuff.
anybody know what can be expected from a 2300tvs or a a decent sized twinscrew? i love the punch that pd blowers have, but since the motor is getting forged i want to know if these types of blowers will have the grunt to make it worth while. If not i'm looking into some precision turbos for a nice lil TT build.
my other question would be the engine build. I'm thinking an LSX block with ls7 ported heads. now bore and stroke i'm not sold on yet. I would like the engine to rev to 7k-7.5k... Suggestions would be great. I'm still learning engine building in big bad V8 world.

I have a TVS2300 in a manual tranny LS3 vette. With blower cam, all the bolt ons, no cats, and straight through mufflers, it puts down 672 at the wheels. That's with a 2.9" drive pulley making 8.5psi. I don't know where you get into belt slip boost wise, but I don't think it's much over where I am now. You might get 10psi with the stock pulley system. I thought of going to a smaller pulley for a little more, but I haven't harnessed what I have now.
There's a guy over on the vette forum that forged his LS3 and is well over 800 rwhp with the TVS2300. He's had to do quite a bit of work on the blower drive system to prevent belt slip (both front and back end). I think he's at 14 or 15 psi. Also, I think he's had to completely rework his fuel system. When you're at those power levels, it's a whole nother ballgame.

Also any other ideas people?
What are your power goals? I wouldn't fool with a stroker motor unless you're wanting 1000+. Your stock heads are good too. If you're wanting big power, I'd upgrade the pistons and rods, leave the crank as is, and blow 15 or 20 psi through it.
Take a look at the 2300 on this Hummer H2 we built. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=56
It has a jackshaft running to the rear where there is a cog drive set-up. This allows the blower to make a lot more boost. We saw 15 psi of boost with a 3.0 pulley on the front of the blower. We're now at 11.5 psi of boost with a larger 3.2 pulley on the head unit. Bob

The 2010 is already heavy SOB dont go with LSX Block unless your looking for 1000+rwhp build.
how much power are you looking for??
I say since you already have LS3 then get a good rotating assembely and go 418ci or maybe even 427ci if your not planning to run high boost.
and add a D1SC or TVS With good blower cam and boltons IMO you'll reach 750+rwhp on pump gas and 13-15psi....
Good luck

The above engine is an LS2/402 with off the shelf AFR 225 heads, and the FAST 92 intake along with an F-1A ProCharger. It is in a CTS-V with an IRS rear with a 9 inch center section. We're only currently at 12.5 psi of boost, it has plenty of room to grow. Bob
