Some random Pics of the car over the years. It's seen many different phases and anxious to get the car back out. The car was running consistant 9.80s-9.90s with the Factory LS3 Shortblock and heads, LS9 Camshaft, Vortech V3 Supercharger, Circle D Billet Torque Converter and a dual Nozzle Meth Kit.
Next it was time for a little more power so went with a 416ci LS3. Callies Crank, Rods, Wiseco Pistons , ARP hardware throughout, Pat G Spec'd Camshaft cut by Cam Motion on their 8620 Chromoly Steel Cores, Morel Short Travel High RPM Race Lifters, Manten Level V .145 wall 3/8s Pushrods with 5/16s ball ends. I also put about 40-50hrs into the port work on the Cylinder Heads. All of this combined with a D1SC Procharger Spun to maximum Recommended RPM yielded around 860rwhp through a Circle D Triple Disc Billet Converter, and their fully built 6L80E. To Top it off I added a Dry Nitrous System from Nitrous Outlet which yielded incredible results. Over 1050rwhp on 15lbs of boost and a 100 shot. This was on pump gas just shredding the drag radials on the rollers. After I ran pretty much only race gas (C16 or MS109) since I wasn't putting many miles on the car anyway even though with the Converter Locked on the freeway it still got better fuel economy compared to my 2014 Silverado. After about 2000 miles and seeing how fast the car would run up to 200mph and I began to really think about making the car itself more ridged and safe.
After receiving offers I couldn't refuse on many items like the cylinder heads, Trans, etc Some how the idea of hey let's just go with two turbos this go round which has just snow balled into a whole new build. The motor is strong but with the weak link being the LS3 block especially I'm sure I'll go ahead and go with an Iron Block 408 setup. Instead of just destroying a perfectly good engine that's in it currently. Also going with an aftermarket Engine management system and plan on doing some pretty trick things with the electronics for the car. Once I can catch up with the work load and what not and can devote some time to it I'll create a little build tread on the car. Read more ยป
