Stock Bottom End LS3 makes 763rwhp/651rwtq
Here's one for you guys that I thought you would like! This 2013 C6 Corvette Grand Sport came to our shop nearly 10 months ago with 600 miles on the clock for a Stage 2 built Tickshift TR-6060, RPS Triple Disc clutch, Custom Tick Performance Blower cam and an A&A kit with a Vortech V3 T-trim blower. With the custom cam, and blower at 13-14psi it kicked out 690rwhp! Well, fast forward a few months and the owner slung the belt off the blower and thought he had damaged it. This customer lives in Florida and decided to send it back up here to us to look at the car and repair what was needed. Well of course that snowballed into, "How much power can we make on a stock LS3 bottom end"? Our reply was, "let's find out!!!"
So we decided to step things up a little bit and swapped the T-trim out for Vortech V7 Ysi blower and pullied it to 15psi. We also added another #7 methanol nozzle to the single #7 we already had installed via a Snow Methanol kit plumbed into the factory washer tank. We were hoping for 800rwhp when the smoke cleared, but we fell a little short as the blower just hasn't gotten into its sweet spot yet as guys regularly turn these YSI blowers to 35psi!!! We ended up making 763rwhp/651rwtq which is still damn impressive on a stone stock LS3 bottom end!
Modification list for the car includes:
Stock LS3 short block
Stock LS3 heads
Stock LS3 intake
Custom Tick Performance Blower cam (215/239 .604"/.621" 118+2)
A&A 8-rib supercharger system with Vortech V7 Ysi blower
Tick Shift TR-6060 Stage 2
RPS triple disc clutch
Snow Methanol dual nozzle system with 100% M1 methanol

It is down right nasty on the street. It's sitting on 345/30/19's and it's IMPOSSIBLE to find traction under 80mph in anything but 5th-6th gear.
We try man! Credit has to be given to the entire team here at Tick Performance though, I am not a one man show!
We actually are removing his cylinder heads and sending them to Advanced Induction for their full 280cc CNC work and trying to push 800rwhp+ on the stock bottom end! We tried to just get him to put a smaller pulley on it, but the owner of the car gets what the owner of the car wants!
Yes it is on 93 pump fuel from the Citgo up the street!!! It does have dual #7 nozzles that inject 100% VP M1 Methanol based on injector duty cycle and boost pressure.
It does not, the owners name is Rich.
93 octane!

Yes they do, BUT Kurt Urban mentioned that even the cheap Chinese 4340 steel forgings are miles ahead of the forged steel GM would of used on these cranks. Aside from that we all know that the cranks aren't the issue here, the pistons and then the rods are.
