Reliability of blown ls3 with stock internals?? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OK. Just wondering, mine peaks at 9.6lbs on the dyno and with a flat 11:1 a/f and 14* timing I make 570/520 with the Paxton.

I'm at 635 so far no problems. Changing CIA and TB maybe more to come. Tune matters!

Boost doesn't blow motors up, I don't know how May times I'll have to tell people this. 12psi can make north of 800 or less than 600 depending on the fest of the setup. 650whp is when you stop on stock internals.

I'm at 800+ but I know I'm on borrowed time with my internals.

I meant nothing negative, didn't mean it that way. I was just taking notes and was just replying. It is a # and different dynos with different ways of boost. While I was at the dyno I had the dyno operator bring up another boosted LS3 but all he could remember to bring up had a baby can swap and made similar #s but more under the curve.

I consider engines like speakers. Wattage doesn't blow speakers distortion does. I feel engines are the same for the most part that boost doesn't blow engines but lean/pre ignition conditions do.

Oh I didnt take it that way ......trust me ...Its all good......

I seen cars with 600 hp be slower than those with 550......

Like a speaker its not the wattage ...but the delivery....

Now about that throttle body

I've been porting them for over a decade.
