I am wanting to swap my ls1 in my 2000 trans am to an ls3 but im brand new to ls engines i want to be at 600 horses or more with no added supercharger, or nos. I want it to be all motor. So where should i start. I know im gonna buy a block seperate an build it up but i wanna be runnin 10's with this car.

You might see 600 crank hp with a stock cube LS3 a stroker setup will definitely get you that number though. You can run 10's though without having 600 hp. A well setup suspension and a lightened up car can reach that goal easily.

My recipe would be to build a 416 stroker and use a set of good breathing heads with a cam spec'd for that combo.

87 silver bullet : what stroke does the crank got to be to be at 416 an i found a nine inch rear end for the car for $2500. Wat would be the best gear. I was thinkin 3.73 gear would be fine for that set up. Plus my car is a 6 speed so im afraid im gonna be replacing the clutch alot what clutch should i use i dont wanna be replacing it constantly

The crank will be a 4.000 stroke and a 4.070 piston. If you are going 6 speed. A 4.10 gear would be more in order. I wouldn't know what clutch guys are using these days so I would just go in the manual trans section and see what the guys recommend or call on of our sponsors like Tick Performance.

If you are going to build a stroker setup and so forth, you might want to call Martin@Tick and let him spec you a cam instead of getting a shelf grind.
