I think we should think about our 5.0 friends; camming their engine is like 10-15rwhp and cost a bunch. They all run lightweight flywheel, driveshaft, weight reduction, 15" drag wheels and agressive gearing. How often do you see this here? Not so often. they rev their engine higher and higher.
On the LS community, most average joe, like me lol, it seems that we take the easy route, because its easy, it works and its cheap. But its about to change!
But for a max effort setup, its not gonna cut it.
Max effort with LS3 intake...is a bit, lets say self defeating. I mean it works great with the rod mod and light porting, but you need something better to push the envelope.
Lazermontana said it well. All those extra on the sides are the one that will pay in the end. Vacuum pump, electric water pump, notching the piston, 7500rpm and suporting intake manifold and some good e85...
We gotta thank guys that are pushing it!! Gpi will be back with another record I hope!!
