Andy, that is flat out awesome. I've yet to install my TV2300 because I have two new L92 crate engines sitting here and would probably like a built engine under the blower. I'm glad to see the blower push over 900 rwhp!
So, when will SW send his car back to your shop for this upgrade? LOL Tony

Hey, I'm curious, in the video, why the quick shut down on the dyno?

Pump gas is 750 rwhp and 800 rwtq at 16 psi boost with no Nitrous assist. On pump gas the car is the perfect street car in my opinion,On race gas(tuned appropriatly) with the Nitrous assist it has yet to be driven on the street or track. Meth is not needed with this setup and design. Andy BTW- PEAK TORQUE IS AT 3500 - 4000 RPM,SO DRIVING AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AT THAT RPM IS AN ART IN ITSELF!SOME RECENT PROCHARGED GRAPHS HAVE SHOWN UP AND PRODUCE HALF THE NUMBERS WE MAKE AT 3500 RPM. |

1. Must start and idle like stock ls3 from the factory in any temp. 2. Must not spit and sputter when trying to take off from a light. 3.No bucking or surging while maintaining speed. 4.No clutch chatter when taking off from a stop. Each customer has affordable goals,each customer has certain tolerations...you must be able to read this in a customer so that you can build what he or she wants. There is an old saying I live by - "IS IT GOOD ENOUGH,THE CUSTOMER WILL DECIDE" Andy |

Many if not all areas of this car have been tweeked. It has a short throw shifter along with a shift knob with a line-lock button in it. ADM spec wheels made by CCW. The inhouse fuel delivery system designed and built by Andy is unique to this car and could handle even more power if it had to. Tweeked engine cooling system as well. And, of course a clutch to hold all that power. On and On. I have been privledged to watch this transformation while it was at ADM. I will miss seeing this car at ADM but happy to see it returned to the owner. What an awesome, Xmas present.

Thanks for the info Andy. If it helps, myself (probably like many others) was very skeptical of the numbers based on pure physics, all of the prior tuners extensive work on LSx engines (LPE,etc), the quick shutdown and all of the B.S. that flies around on the web. Please take it as a compliment that you have really done a spectacular job and by releasing just a little more concrete data, it is believable. Nice job. |

Yeah..do the math and it is simple. Example - 2010 camaro LPE Makes 660 rwhp on their 427 Ls7 head car with 12 -13 psi on pump gas with stock cats(4 total).Includes a 3 yr Warranty I believe We make 750 on our LPE 427 Ls3 head car with 16-17 psi on pump gas with 2" headers and highflow cats(Yes it has Highflow cats in place).No 3 year warranty. |

That was fun. Who's next. I'm sure Andy is itching to build this exact setup again.
SW? Pat

After the car was all together, customers would say "just another maggie install". .

Andy, before you let the car go, you should have some magazines and/or Autoblog do a writeup or article on your work. People like you or Taylor Sims from Dallas Performance, deserve the proper recognition for innovative work, like LPE has. Even though you're far away from me (as far as being close to your shop), you or DP are my first candidates for future projects.
