Help/Advice with buying this LSA blower for my LS3

So I'm considering buying this LSA supercharger for my 2010 SS. I know I need the ADM kit but anything else I should need to know or look out for?
Any help is appreciated. (Ignore price. It's canadian and very negotiable)

You might want to do some research on high flow cats, regular cats or no cats. I don't know the Canadian exhaust laws. But when Andy did mine he recommended that I not run cats due to the potential of them clogging down the road.

Yep, no cats here also. If you are not going to race, HFCs may work. The issue is plugging of the cats due to heat. Otherwise, Jannetty may have some cats that might work.

Congrats... You'll love the Blower..

In addition to the LSA kit, you'll need an intake and fueling as well. The kit comes with injectors, but depending on how much power you want, you may have to go bigger. Need a ZL1 or similar fuel pump/FPCM as well.

True. I did that with mine just to be safe. If you're just doing the lsa kit and no cam etc, you'll get by, but, as we all know, the bug bites so plan now. Also, consider getting the pulley before you install...

You need a LOT of other stuff to make that work. Have you seen this post (also in Canada)?

Im currently at 525whp/517wtq on the ZL1 pump, DEKA 63lb injectors, stock zl1 fuel rails (comes with kit), no FPCM, and the LSA blower with 2.75 pulley. I've also got the 2" LTHs, 2.5" exhaust, and similar listed in my sig. I believe it was at ~80% IDC and he said it should easily make 600-650whp without much issue. I didn't have to have a FPCM, but I wish I would have done it while they were tuning just for peace of mind.

So ADM LSA Stage 1 Kit, Your blower, Replace the isolator (if not done already), Pick a pulley/belt option, Fueling (as simple/complicated as you wanna make it), Intake (highly recommend the JLT although tough to tune), a tune, and you should be good ! Then build from there ! My installer even had parts leftover from the kit so you should be good. Make sure to let them know if you have a PS (2013+) or non-PS (2010-2012) car as it will affect the belt you need.

Your sign shows 9 psi boost with the 2.75" pulley? What belt length is required for the 2.75" upper?

I also have stock heads, stock cam, and the biggest intake on the market (5" MAF). It greatly affects the PSI level, even with 2" LTHs. Made more hp/boost than other cars they've seen on this type setup. Belt we used is the K060960 GATES for a '14 with the 2.75 pulley and stock damper/crank pulley.

LTRS777 those are nice numbers for sure!

I did do ported heads and a VVT SS1 cam on mine -- ADM Race Scoop and RotoFab Big Gulp. I'm still on the Stock LSA injectors -- Pushing 590 RWHP on 6 PSI boost. I'll have to upgrade the injectors when I port the snout and go with the ADM 2.75 pulley in the near future. @ that point, I'll be @ the max the ZL1 pump and FPCM will do, but I don't plan on going any further with this combo. I'll need to see if they have a Green Belt for the Gates you have listed.

Nice job!

-Don

Did a little research and it looks like: 25060960HD is the green belt version? I got the gates as it was an emergency/last piece needed kinda thing. A cam/ported heads make a HUGE difference on boost and power... as you can see hammdo is 70+whp more at 3psi less boost. They significantly help. That JLT intake is unreal though... literally has a reducer to the throttle body its so big. They claim 30whp over other CAI's for the ZL1 and I believe them.
