What do I need to hit 700-750whp?

[jeff657756]

If i absolutely have to run 93, i will, but i turn my boost controller down to run on just wastegate. Even on longer trips, I still will go out of my way to find E85.

My car stock ls3 single turbo made
580whp 10psi 93 oct
640whp 8psi e85
690whp 10psi e85 mix 50% ethonal
745whp 13psi e85
815whp 15psi e85 (btr turbo cam)

Makes sense to me! I am personally shooting for the 700 whp mark on 8-10PSI with a custom spec cam to give me the widest torque curve possible on twin 57 ball bearings, so hopefully the engine approves of that. All supporting top end mods will be done as well.

Do you think GMPP CNC heads would be worth the money at that point? Or should I take that money and put it elsewhere towards the build?

I did around 730 @ 10psi with twin 57s. Put the money for heads elsewhere.

You should buy these items in this order
1. Turbo kit / superchager
2. Dual fuel pump flex fuel e85 system and injectors
3. Camshaft kit/valve springs

At this point I'd put money into built short block if you want to go all out 1000whp+ than top it off with a nice set of heads

This is just addressing the engine, now to have a drive train to support the added power is a whole other subject that will have to be addressed as well

Good advice but I'd strongly mention doing fuel (pump/injectors/maybe BAP) the same time as the FI. Lack of fueling kills motors. E85 can be added anytime (but if it's on the forecast, make sure pump/injectors have been spec'd to run that 30% more required fuel).

Yes I would never recommend FI on stock fuel, most kits include some type of fuel upgrade, usually injectors but yes good point injectors (850cc and up) a ZL1 pump and bap would be recommended at a minimum to get started before any type of FI is installed

If you are going to do 1000whp+ build the car as of now for 1000whp+. Will be much cheaper. Don't get medium range things to save a couple hundred of thousand dollars.

1000whp+ reliably is going to cost you a pretty penny. Remember any car will make it but reliably not... you're talking block work, trans, suspension, differential, etc.
