Again didn't read post or any of the...but your ?
500 then FI.....
Most will BS u...get a goal + a budget.
Stock Crank can take X amount of ...on a good tune with a Future in Boost.
Rods need to be on point. Requires Change!
Compression inline with the amount of FI pressure > with cam (with fuel grade in mind.)
Build 4 na hp X 2 ....... = 9.5 compression and asking the long blk 4, 500 hp before 14.5 psi is added which would = 1000 hp.
A Ls with 9.5 comp and 500 hp .....

I would be more inclined to think your tuner is playing with the #'s or something else is wrong, My car was tuned By Mike C. at Vengeance Racing on a brand new 2000 HP dyno, Mike C. is one of the best LS tuners in the world, WITTNESSED by several world records held by Vengeance Racing ALL tuned by Mike C. NOTHINGS wrong with it, Last time on the dyno with this set-up 425 RWHP 418 RWTQ So at the crank somewhere around 475, What I relly want to know is what CR do you have? your LS3 is weak, this car bone stock with a tune laid down 379, your right something is wrong your LS3 with a tune should have been around 410 in a manual car

So I finished my 5.3 LS swap and have been driving it for a month or two and like everything want more HP, keep in mind this truck is a 05 Colorado crew cab with 6” lift and 33x12.50 tires. Trans is a built 4L60E with 2400 stall. The 5.3 has a TSP cam stage 2 #25-TSP212218R6112
My question is what do I need to do to the LS2 before I install it to hit the 500hp
I’m definitely going turbo in the future.
The LS2 is a 06 GTO motor and it should be delivered this week.
Thanks
