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

Awesome numbers!

Nice numbers! The YSi will be even better on a forged motor.

We're hoping we can spin it up to around 20-23psi on a forged motor with ported heads and the same camshaft and make 900rwhp.

This car will be used for nothing but roll racing and half mile/mile events.

Hey Martin, always doing great work huh? Lol Badass job man!

How much boost does the owner want/plan on pushing this stock bottom LS3 to? Very great results. Good to see people pushing these LS motors to the extreme.

x2, I'm currently building a stock bottom end TT L92 and am curious if this was on E85 or 93...

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!

Nice results but that blower needs to be spun harder to get its benefits. I'm sure once it's built it will roll out hard. Wish he was down in my area or at TX2K13 right now so I could run him.

The high hp stock bottom ls club is growing! Love seeing this stuff, especially when it lives a long, nasty life. Great work

do ls3 gs come with forged cranks from the factory?

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

Yea, it really is no where near the blower RPM it needs to be to be halfway efficient. His plan was to take it to TX2K13, but making more power was a bigger priority!!!
Thanks!
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.

IN DEBT

Any new updates with the AI head swap and quest for 800RWHP on the stock shortblock?

Awesome work guys!

We've got the heads here at the shop, just have been busy working on other projects. His heads will be going on here next week most likely, or end of this week if things go smoothly with other customers cars.
