That will be reality before long. Rest assured it will be done, can't wait to see it happen either!

You can send it somewhere to be rebuilt to handle more power.

"LS3's nodular iron, rolled-fillet-journal crankshaft is similar to those used in LS1 and LS6 engines except for counter weights altered to rebalance the engine for a slightly heavier piston."

Your 500 RWHP sounds great. Your car should fly with that hittin' the pavement...

Yea your right I misread the info on LS1tech.com.

You need to look no further than the LS9. It is a supercharged fully forged LS3 with a 100K warranty! :clap:
