I was wondering who would install a super/turbo if it was offered by GMPP and there was warranty available.

headpunter · 10-08-2008, 11:58 PM

i wouldnt count on it, as they wouldnt risk non forged internals.

that being said i would probably go with it

Yes i doubt it would ever happen but if it did i would be all over a supercharger for the LS3, after saving for awhile though

It would probably be a kit that had a pulley designed for only around 7psi so that the stock internals would be safe. Oh yeah. Just a nice, safe 20%-ish gain. Which, by the way, brings a total of 506hp on an LS3 Camaro.

Just food for thought.

Hard decision, the APS twin turbo system is sweet but a supercharger would be nice as well.

as long as the price was right. I WANT A SC, but only have so much to spend.

Yes, I would add one.

possible- yes...very smart on a stock engine - no lol

you could have the turbos located @ the exhaust tubes, then the supercharger on the block....2 pipes of forced air into 1 pipe then forced AGAIN into the block

i can't remember the magazine, but someone put an engine into a scion w/ 40 lbs of boost!

steel 4 cylinder...only made 800hp. was a nitto tires sponsored car.

also v8s are alot harder to build that kind of boost since they are movine alot more air, kinda like forcing water into a bag with a hole. except the v8's hole is 2-3x bigger.

I get it.

"Only made 800hp." I'm guessing you said that comparing to other 4cyls. like the SR20DET that is 'capable' of 1000hp?

headpunter · 10-09-2008, 04:25 PM

im just saying Just since you can make 800hp with 9-10lbs in a LS3

with 40lbs you are making over 2000bhp closer to 2500bhp with an LSX block...
