Build INFO

Well this combo is a daily driver that pushes over a 1000 RWHP

Short Block:

LSA block bored with just with 4.005 bore
Forged Rods with WISECO pistons
ARP head studs and ARP hardware on bottom end
Custom ported LS3 Heads
STOCK crank

Comments: Two items listed above are being pushed to the MAX at this level. ONE, the crankshaft, Any more power and I would use DRAGON SLAYER crank. TWO, six bolt heads are REQUIRED with more power as I am currently running 23 PSI on a Procharger F1R with 11:1 compression. The LSA block was used with this small bore because it is the strongest GM production ALUMINUM block made. If MORE power is required, I would use a ERL block or an LSX block. PORTED LSA heads would be better here IF you were to stay with a 4 bolt head because the alloy is stronger and deck is thicker. I any event, anything near 25 PSI is going to require 6 bolt heads for longevity purposes. If you are also running nitrous then probably anything over 20 PSI is going to require 6 bolt heads.

Supercharger:

Procharger Stock F1R, makes over 1000 RWHP with this set up using 4 inch pulley. Made about 880 RWHP with same setup using a F1A. Next step up would be F1X which would make 1350-1400 RWHP BUT you would need ERL or LSX block with Dragonslayer crank and 6 bolt heads.

Fuel:

E85 with Meth Injection. FORE Innovations TRIPLE pump set up with BOSCH 127CC injectors with Holley fuel rails.

Notes: A triple pump set up is required at this level because you have to push 35% more fuel to the engine because it uses E85.

Exhaust:

TSP set up with Magnaflow mufflers, The ONE thing I probably would change is to go with a header that had 2 inch primaries, This set up has 1 7/8" primaries

Tuning:

Sam Miller at Advanced Modern Performance. The importance of the good tuner can not be overstated considering the complexity of this set up.

Great build going on here...

Your comment about different heads for higher boost and or nitrous, Amen.

I ran 18 lbs 1130 RWHP on the stock LS3 casting and was pushing water and head gaskets. With LSA heads, I ran as much as 24 lbs of boost 1550 RWHP and never had an issue until we sprayed it. Then the head gaskets let go.

I've since gone to a full custom built engine with 6 bolt heads and lots of other goodies.

"The importance of the good tuner can not be overstated considering the complexity of this set up"

Truer words are seldom ever stated.....

Nice build I'm doing something similar but using stock block. What turbos are you going with and size?

Hey guys nice to see a couple of you have 1000hp or more. But I'm not very smart when it comes to cars. I just got my 2013 Camaro SS not to long ago and I've always wanted one it was my dream car. Now I've achieved that dream I've also always dreamt to have a 1000hp Camaro. I'm wondering is it possible to achieve this with only gm/chevy performance parts? I'm thinking about getting the LSX454R because it's the most powerful on their website right now, but is it possible?

It seems the LSX454s have been hit and miss. There are many competent engine builders out there but they probably won't use all GM/Chevy parts.

Do you want 1000 flywheel or 1000 to the rear wheels? I assume to the rear wheels.

Other things you'll need:
fuel system
rear end
clutch (if manual)
6L80E won't live long at 1000hp so you'll need a 6L90E, TH400, 4L80E, or powerglide
rear suspension pieces to help it hook and combat wheel hop
tires

I'm assuming it's rear wheels too I don't know the difference. And I was thinking of getting the z28 suspension. Not sure what tires I want good performance tires but not drag race tires. I have automatic so I should be good? I don't know what 690Le
Is or powerglide. What do you mean they were hit or miss? Is it still possible to achieve 1000hp with the LSX454R even if it was hit or miss?

Z/28 suspension is for curves and handling, not putting 1000hp to the groundNot sure what tires I want good performance tires but not drag race tires.Good performance in handling then? You'll need a drag radial to have any hope of getting traction with 1000hp. I have automatic so I should be good?You have the 6L80E. It won't last very long with 1000hp. If you want to keep an automatic, you'll have to go to one of the ones I mentioned along with a stall converter. I don't know what 690Le 6L90E is the transmission that came in the 5th Gen ZL1
Is or powerglide A powerglide is a 2 speed transmission that is very popular in the drag racing community. What do you mean they were hit or miss? Is it still possible to achieve 1000hp with the LSX454R even if it was hit or miss?There is a thread somewhere on this site about someone trying to used forced induction with an LSX454 and it broke almost right away.
My responses are in red. 1000hp sounds cooler in conversation than it is in real life. With that much power, it is when, and not if, you will break something. That level of power brings out the weak points. You fix one weak point, another shows up. Granted, if you aren't racing the car, the weak points won't show as quickly.

Moneywise, you'll be spending a lot. You will not achieve 1000hp without using some form or combination of forced induction such as a blower, a centrifugal blower, single or twin turbos, and nitrous. If you try to do it naturally aspirated, you'll end up with a big cammed, high compression engine that cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and won't be any fun to drive on the street and you won't get there anyway with an LS platform engine.

May I ask how old you are?

Thanks for all the help really. But I'm 27. I guess it is going to be a hassel doing it all. I just want it to be a 1,000hp like it was meant to be 1000hp. Hennessey performance made a 1000hp zl1 and i just want my ss to be just as great.it does sound cool in conversation, but I won't be racing it and beating it up on the streets, I'll probably take it for a drive occasionally

Interesting thread. Let’s see, a thousand HP, that’s roughly about $65.00 / 1 HP in cost. At least from someone like Hennessy. And if done right on your own. And you’ll “take it for a drive occasionally?” Seems like something more in the line of 650HP and DD it would be a helleva lot more fun. And buy you gas with the savings!

It'd be nicer to DD a 1000hp Camaro! Yes it would be expensive but it would be cheaper than buying the Hennessey 1000hp ZL1 right? And 650hp to me is just too easy for somebody to get their hands on so I'm going to need more power. It sounds normal while 1000hp SS sounds ridiculous. That's why I want to do it.
