EEKK!!! I'm sure that hurt. I haven't got a chance to watch the video, but will have to make time for that.

It's only 30 seconds...no big deal.
But peace of mind is (a big deal)...that's why I paid the price I did instead of "Fabbing" something.

I totally see you on the piece of mind. When it comes to engineering, I leave it up to a company like GM when it comes to making reliable and long lasting power, that's why I'm Hell-bent. You bring up a great point though about keeping options open, because frankly, if I can't get what I want, I'll be going to the company GM uses to make it's superchargers

Stock numbers.
LS2 CR 10.9 : 1, LS3 CR 10.7 : 1, LSA CR 9.1 : 1 Hmmm. I'm wondering how much boost..... Any one think the LS3 can handle 10psi, innercooled, pump gas, without lowering the CR??? LS2 I found this post from an LS2 Corvette thread, Asking the question, "how much boost can a stock ls2 safely handle?" They all seem to agree that Less than 8 is safe 10/11 is reasonable... The post below is a great explanation of how much boost is really necessary... Good read. Quote:
Again, a corvette article but applicable to those of us who may have to go aftermarket on the blower. I like these numbers. Quote:
The Camaro LS3 has a little higher CR at 10.7 : 1. Any thoughts....

I think with a good tune, you could run around at 500+ RWHP on an LS3 without much worry. Those cranks are tough. I remember reading many articles with 800+ RWHP cars either on the boost or the bottle running on the stock crank and aftermarket rods and pistons. The boosted cars were always intercooled or had water/methanol injection. I think it would be plenty safe to run 6-8 lbs. of boost through an LS3 with a healthy fuel system and good tune. Who really knows though? If GM would just give us an LSA we could be done with this

On a side note; that first quote makes a HUGE point; one that, as a power-freak I disagree with...but one that, as guy with some common sense I can appreciate it 100%. You don't NEED eleventy-billion horsepower; and you certainly can't use it reliably, especially if you made it aftermarket.
It's part of the reason I'd be more than happy with a V6. And part of the reason I seek no more than 500hp...ever. /thread jack I've read numbers anywhere from 5psi to 8psi on a stock LS3. That's if you plan on keeping the car for any length of time. Any higher; and you're looking to blow it up. I do plan on installing some sort of FI. I haven't decided which, yet; but whatever I do: an intercooler is a must imo. Water to air, air to air, whatever; but I won't take the chance of not using one. |

I'm not jumping off the LSA, LS8 bandwagon. I'm just wondering what people think about an aftermarket solution.
I'm still of the opinion that if I can get it from the factory I will. Maybew GMPP will offer the 1900 or 2300 as a bolt on? That'd be the way I'd go if a LSA/8 isn't in the cards.
