On an LS3.

I'd be worried about my rear end by 500 though.

The info is readily available in multple places already. There's no need to add to that.

Typically, the rearend isn't a problem. Axles, DEFINITELY.

ya 500WHP is the point IMO where you should be getting traction help or even help your axles out.

They mean search this forum. This information is already all over this site and much of it a matter of opinion.

1. What is the best intake? Do aftermarket CAI's void powertrain warranty?
2. Will longtube American racing headers void powertrain warranty?
3. does removing just the mufflers and not the resonators result in a loss of power?
4. Recommend x-piping or keep resonators?
5. What is the most rwhp that you can get out of an ss without a turbo or supercharger? Kinda broad but just curios
Thanks guys.

The easy power comes from the components in my 415 Street package.

Long Tube Headers with High flow Cats.
cold air kit
SCT handheld Tuner w JRE Custom Tune

You can add a Ported TB for increase in Throttle response Low Cost and Everyone Loves these.

After this you have to decides on a Supercharger or Cam swap, being an L99 the Blower is more cost effective Least Dollars per HP gained 130-150 bolt on.

And Truthfully when you think about it, the Easiest HP is a Blower since it has the highest benefit to cost ratio.

Good luck trying to reliably make those numbers with spray.

I'm not sure what your talking about. What #'s? In any event NOS is very reliable. One could argue that a roots taper twisted or twin screw is not. There is a lot of heat soak between runs. Still they make a great choice for a DD. Maybe pick on somebody with a little less experience with your one liner low blows.

I was wrong anyways, fuse pull = greatest return.

You can reliably push +150rwhp on a supercharger.

A 150 shot I wouldn't rely on too much.

Also with f/i your power is always there. Not so with spray.

Only until you fill the bottle a few times, at 70.00 a refill, it is a never ending cost and only Part time power.

You have to do the math long term not just for this Sunday

I just sent you a PM with some more product information. Our CAI will get you an added 15 RWHP, as well as improved throttle response, better sound at WOT, and increased fuel economy. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your mods!
