What do you think the MAX HP rating is on the stock LS3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know the max horsepower you can punch out the stock LS3 without imploding it??

Example: Strapping the LS3 with a supercharger, tune, and exhaust. If I'm starting to climb over 700hp will the LS3 handle without doing internal swaps?

I like that answer!!

Im at 628 rwhp so thats over 700 crank hp with no internal mods at all. Only 67mm turbo. So endless I say.

JANNETTYRACING · 11-22-2009, 08:43 PM

The Octane in the fuel is going to be the first limiter of HP before you hit the limit of the parts.

It would not surprise me if someone takes one over 1000 hp on race gas safely.

*CamaroSpike23* · 11-22-2009, 08:43 PM

well, if you are adding forced induction... it would be hard to implode the motor... lmao

but there are quite a few ls3s pushing past 800hp already

Pope Designs · 11-22-2009, 08:44 PM

What about bottom end, tranny etc...

With a good tune, your going to break other parts first (clutch, tranny, rear parts

)

We have a C6 stock motor with boost and an A6 making 670 whp on our mustang dyno . With an A6 is 23% drive line loss that 824 at the crank ... with meth and pump 93oct .

JANNETTYRACING · 11-23-2009, 10:28 AM

I had a C5 in here last summer with APS twins on a stock motor with a cam and Straight meth twin nozzle system and pump gas making 745 RWHP.

But if one can eliminate wheel hop wouldn't that make for longer life on the mentioned parts. I see you making 550+ hp. Have you had any breakage?
