Default How to get 500rwhp from the LS3 YET...

Be stealthy. I want more power for my C6 but i don't want people to know i don't have anything more then headers and stingers. I want 500rwhp but i don't think a sleeper cam alone is going to get me there along with headers.

What do you guys think? Will i be close with a custom ground sleeper cam? If so how close? 480?

A well-hidden nitrous system would put you well above 500rwhp in a very stealthy way.

Otherwise, a custom-ground sleeper cam will get you close, and a set of TSP's Ported LS3 heads should get you there solidly.

Good luck!

Joey,

Would it be safe to add a N20 kit and possibly a 100 shot ontop of H/C on the LS3?


BTW - THANKS

If you're just looking for 500rwhp, you won't need to spray on top of the heads & cam setup. You can make 500rwhp two ways: 1) stock with nitrous or 2) heads & cam, no nitrous.

If you wanted to go crazy and spray a 100shot WITH the heads & cam, you certainly could - but make sure your first spray is on a dyno while your tuner is closely monitoring the Air/Fuel ratio. A fuel system upgrade will likely be in order.

Our Thresher 550 package will get you there. Our 2008 C6 made 507rwhp with this same package.

you should check cf.com. LG has built a couple 501rwhp ls3's with a cam and boltons only. I believe its the G6x4 or something like that??? I think I read it was something like $5700 installed for everything to go from bone stock to 501rwhp....
