LS3 bottom end, what is it capable of handling power wise? I'm looking at getting a G8 GXP with the LS3 motor, 6.2L with L92 heads. I'm wondering what is a safe margin of power for this motor? Is 650-700whp doable? I just dont want to blow the block up.
I'm looking at doing a turbo setup of some sort, unless a Supercharger would work for my goal and that would be simpler. I want to make the power the simplest way possible, I havent figured out how though. First step is to find out if my HP goal is to high for a stock block, or if I need to have it built. From what I have seen 650WHP give or take should be just fine on a turbo motor.
Any help appreciated. And since I'm learning if you have any literature I could look at please feel free to IM me or post here in this thread. Thanks
