Getting the LS3/376/480hp swapped into my F-Body as well as an LS7 clutch. Curious to what it should make to the wheels, but not too worried about it, as I've seen 380 hp cars run high 11's with the right setup.
What do the LS3 engines usually make in an f-body?
Make sure you read the fine print and have it installed by a GM qualified shop. This is the one thing GM is finiky about. Its almost like the dealer has to install it before you can get the full warranty. They just don't warranty it from every shop or even at home installs. I forgot the langauge because its been a while since I have dealt with one.
Stock LS3
12 second car no doubt. 111-114MPH
Thanks for the response man. Yep, I did have a qualified shop order the motor for me, with all the parts, and are currently putting it in... along with an ls7 clutch, finally getting around to upgrading the stock clutch
But that's cool it's a 12 second car, hopefully mid-high 11's with the hot cam and all of the mods I have, listed below.
