Yes it can be done no problem. That being said the ls3/l99 block does have some pretty thin sleeves. It really depends on how you want to get there, but 750rwhp is no problem!

At 750 rwhp it becomes about more than engine reliability. It becomes about the reliability of all the parts on the car.

The first question that needs an answer is what's your budget? Start at that number and work backwards. That'll pretty much tell you how crazy you'll be able to go.

Also, what are you trying to do with 750 rwhp? Dragstrip or car cruises?

It's gonna come down to your tuner and Lady Luck!
If your not ready to pay don't play bud.
Your drivetrain will be taking a hit too.

honestly, it depends on what you are wanting to do with the car?

are you a dig/track kind of guy, do you like to roll race with the locals, or do you just want a dyno queen?

those go in order of most $ to least $

Ahhh, nice. Drop $60k off with your car to ADM and you'll get off to a very healthy start.

Oh shiat!

Then drop that motor off at LME! Ask to speak to "that Lil badmofo from Chitown" tell him Zeke sent you and tell him what you want! Nuff said.

Then have ADM/ LMR/ Pat G finish the tune!
