So after a few months of work and tweaking/tuning, I was finally able to get my car on the dyno to see what I was pushing.
My end goal was to be around 650rwhp and stay there until needing to rebuild the motor. My car made 576rwhp and 597rwtq on a dyno jet.

My mods include:
Edelbrock supercharger with the 3"pulley
Rotofab CAI
1 7/8 ARH headers with high flow cats
Stainless works retro chambered catback exhaust
JRE smooth idle blower cam package
ID 850 injectors
JRE fuel line upgrade
ZL1 fuel pump and JRE FPCM
All on my LS3.

My question is, What would I need to do next in order to reach my temporary end goal of 650rwhp or at least be close? I was told my current set up should have at least gotten me pretty close but I didn't even hit the 600rwhp mark.

Any and all advice would be appreciated!

Axles. A CAI INC or a ADM Race intake.

I know nothing about that supercharger. What horsepower levels are others getting who are running that supercharger?

Bigger cam. heads. Meth. e85.

A ProCharger with ARH headers on a stock motor was making 568 back in 2009. How many pounds of boost are you making?

As of right now, I'm anywhere between 9-11lbs of boost.

10aSSee D · 07-19-2016, 08:10 PM

I would think that you would have been over 600. I made 666rwhp with my whipple on 9psi and a stage 2 cam.

1KillerSS · 07-19-2016, 08:50 PM

How much timing are you running?

jrhagen · 07-19-2016, 09:12 PM

Smaller pulley.

I was hoping and expecting so too. But those arebels great numbers you pulled! That's awesome!

I'm not sure to be honest, I data logged the car and had a tune written for me. After I get a new clutch installed (it's still stock) I'm going to take and have it dyno tuned and see what happens there.

but you have a bigger motor and a more efficient blower.

E85

failshift · 07-20-2016, 07:28 AM

I would agree it's in the cam. Also you havnt had the actual car dyno tuned? That's a no no. Get on that. Personally I would not push more boost. Hell I only push 10psi on my LSX.

And if it hasn't been dynod how do you know the HP?

Previous statement get some axles. Get the clutch. Power is no good if you can't use it

McLeod RXT is phenomenal
