what did it run you?

i emailed meziere asking about one. As usual the Camaro aftermarket is lacking compared to yours. The lt1 been out since 13-14 and I can’t even find one smdh.

are you running an overdrive alternator? I would be just a bit worried because I have an under drive crank pulley now too

EWP seems like an expensive mod, or did I miss something??

I paid $1,057 for the pump and the relay kit for it. Install/wiring was pretty easy. It has a dummy pulley so the belt doesn't change, my crank pulley is stock.

I would guess peak flow is less, yes. Doesn't seem to be enough to matter in my experience.

Nope, they raced and the vette won. I can dig up the video if you want.

Good Kill! You have and EWP? well regarded mod right there. Did you decide on what lithium battery you want to use yet? Sucks for him to have a stock running Vette thats modded LOL.

Yes, I'm trying to get him to mod it correctly, but we will see what he does. He already has headers for it so thats a good start.

Yes I now have the pump, seems to be working good so far. Have not decided on a battery yet.

GMPP Cam, z06 exhaust. Friend of mine, he just bought it with those mods already. 20 roll per his request. It doesn't have ported rawkers, triple disc clutch, gears, ewp, tape, small battery, so its definitely not proper.
example of a proper c6 ls3. That one for sure wasn't


because if it were proper it would most definitely resemble that vid.

Here are some more from the night. Civic is a 9th gen, 5858? turbo, around 400whp. WRX is built with a 6466, ran 10.0 or 10.2 on more boost, was on 30psi for those runs.
Well bet that wrx really got your trapulator working.

EWP would be great for you. Can you adapt some fittings to the block and do a remote mount? That really would be the cleanest most weight saving way to go in the end.

Does your alternator charge at idle? I think it puts out the same at idle as 3000RPM I have never had issues with an alternator not charging with a UDP. Mine is 25%

i think the mounting points to the block on the lt is the same as the ls. So that could be a possibility with existing adapters.

The only deflection here is you thinking that cammed ls3 vette is anywhere near what it should be.
