The previous owner of my car had 15lbs of boost on the stock LS3 bottom end (also a 5th gen camaro). It put 850 to the rear wheels. With the restrictor in the ECS kit, I am now at 12psi and 750 RWHP. Even the 12psi makes me a bit nervous. The guys at ECS also threw a 100 shot at it and it did just over 900RWHP at 12psi. It is crazy the power these LS3's can make.

It would take more boost for sure, just depends on how long you want it to live.

Of course I would not expect this to live for 100,000 miles given the power it is making and how the car is being used.

I am a first time LT1 turbocharged guy. How do you get away with 11:4 CR and a blower? Thats pretty amazing. I thought my 10:6 was too high.............

Lots of methanol and not a huge amount of timing. A dual nozzle Alky Control meth kit comes with a 15gph and a 10gph nozzle as the standard sizing. That's 25gph worth of methanol at full tilt on the controller.

This is only a single nozzle kit...it doesn't need a dual spray on this, that would almost flood it.


Of course timing is not stupid with it, and you could get away with a lot more on either lower compression or a higher octane fuel.

All depends on cam timing with it too as far as running compression and boost together.
