Any chance you have some kind of translation for me? I think it's probably easier to type like this. I may have to try it. I appreciate the effort Danhr, although some don't get the sacrcasm. I love it.

You missed a few mmmmm's in alumimiminum?

Hey, you can't fault him for doing his due dilligence and researching every aspect of every F/I application for the camaro. Pretty soon we'll be asking him for some thoughts.

Why yes sir..

I would say around 10 lbs... then the pistons may be a problem, then not too long after that you may have a problem with lifting a head. This is due to the already thin aluminum deck of the LS3/L99/L92 heads, as well as still being on a 4-bolt head with stock gaskets and gm bolts.

Another thing that differs is what kind of kit you are looking at (supercharger or turbocharger)

A lot of things can be done to allow more boost such as:

Thicker (or different material) head gaskets
Running ARP head bolts, or preferably ARP Head studs, to have more clamping force on the heads.
Going to a bigger (1/2") head stud
Running meth
Having a bigger combustion chamber to lower compression ratio
Going to a different fuel (e85, race gas, etc)
Switching to a head that is made of a stronger material
Switching to a head that has a thicker deck
O-ringing either the head or block
Going to a 6 bolt head
Going with forged internals
Having the ability to defy physics

And I dont know what you are talking about.... everyone loves my sarcasm......

Thanx there bud... Some ppl dnt understand that b4 they do anything they should really research b4 u blow sum shit up by boosting way too much

[danhr]

u should also own a car before you start boosting one too.

that's just my perspective though.

I didn't buy my mods until after I bought my car.....

well... most of them at least...

That's not to say that i'd slap a SC on and pulley it up to 15 PSI but I think it shows the leaway we really have. As has been said a bazillion times before, it's all in the tune. Not sure if it was a LS3 or L99 though.

If it's the car I'm thinking about, it was an L99. Now it's just a freak of nature, built motor with a 3.6 KB.
