Engine,
Double row timing chain
Hardened pushrods
Valve springs & retainers
90mm throttle body
Ram Jet OTRCAI
WA Performance MAFLESS tune
25% under drive
1 7/8" into 3" headers
3" section to 3" cats
Twin 2 1/2" exhaust system
Gearbox,
Stock 4L60E
Allfast 9 1/2" convertor
Diff,
4.1:1 diff gears
Wheels
Stock 18" x 8"
Tyres
Front 225/40/18
Rear 265/40/18 Mickey Thompson
As it is sitting on the rev limiter some 40 yards before the line I am looking at trying 274/45/18 M&H tyres soon.
The last pass I made I let the car shift into 4th gear which lifted the speed up from previous 120.xxmph to a little over 121mph so it may have enough power to use the taller tyre.

We have had great success with our 231/236 Camshaft. We have had plenty of guys call us up with excellent numbers and times, so hopefully some of them will chime in!

This same converter with the LS3 is stalling to at least 4,500rpm.

The old LS1 that I sold out of our car last year had the limiter set at 6,950rpm, the new owner went circuit racing with it and broke number 6 rod with a lower limiter.
A good friends GTO with a LS3 headed LS2 also broke a rod earlier this year with the limiter set at 7,200rpm.
Main reason for not lifting the limiter though is that the current combo is already flatlining.

i went with the lg g6x3 and i love it , it pulls hard from around 4800 up, it dont like anything around 1500 and under tho , but its not hard to drive at all , i have a stick tho, these cams make alot of power. lots have made 500 rwhp with this cam without heads, mine made 471 in 102 degree temp and i just have headers , tune and c.a.i . i love it sound nasty too.
its a 111 lsa tho some ppl dont care much for that

I really enjoyed the g6x3 but it was not designed for ls3 heads it was designed for a LS2 and does not have the huge exhaust duration split that ls3 heads like. I did like it and it drove good and put down over 500hp but a failed lifter took it out and im not prepared to pay 620 bucks for a cam when I got a custom grind for 400 thats 220 bucks that can get me the lifter I need and pushrods if I end up needing them and give me a whole lot more power
