Just get the 3Gx it’s like 6500$ right now. Get the larger pulley and SEND IT!

Yup, best deal in a good centri kit right now imo

I've consistently seen SBE cars over 700whp without any issues. I'm dropping mine off at CSP and will most likely see over 700whp when I pick it up. Still on the SBE and still a L99.

E85 was everywhere here, but a couple stations have stopped carrying it, so worried its gonna eventually dry up. I know even low boost can kill a motor, so I understand no guarantees here. Will be remotely tuning with Ted Jannetty when I do this. My compression is a bit higher than stock mind you, with the GPI max kit. I believe its close to 11-1. I'm thinking with a good tune, I could run 10 psi max. Thoughts?

You can also run a can of Boostane with each tank of fuel. IIRC, one can will raise your octane to 99.

Getting excited. Should be mean. I'm a very competitive guy and my 2 best friends both have some ridiculous cars. Got to make sure I get ahead eventually lol. I will be stroking and really throwing some serious boost, but baby steps

Bad fuel,Heat & Detonation will kill any engine. Add methanol injection to cool off the IAT and it will also raise the octane rating. A little less timing in the low to mid range also helps to eliminate detonation.
Example.I have a buddy that has a bone stock engine and has been supercharged for over 10 years.Peak boost at 11psi with a centri,headers and meth only and still going strong.

I would switch to corn, it's not going anywhere for a while. And even if it does, you're just a tune away from another fuel.

eLeSthree · 03-05-2021, 10:12 PM

You’ll love the G3X. I think 807whp was the least i could make on that blower, biggest pulley. It maxed out around 930ish on my stock ls3 with a cam and e85, but other guys have pushed it further. If you need more, they also have the YSi (b) option or the G4.

They’re a great company to work with. Good luck.

Whichever kit you chose, I’d suggest the tuner version. Just get the hardware. Best you supply the fuel and tune yourself anyway.

Wow! Crazy numbers and yes, im getting the tuner version

Big Biscuits · 03-12-2021, 11:06 PM

I second the ESS option with G3x. I made 803 on 14 psi Playing with a wastegate and trying to take it easy. Recently pulled the wastegate with the 95mm pulley. Tops out at 16psi at 7k rpms. Trust me when I say this, LET HER EAT! I retuned for the added airflow because it makes more boost at lower rpms now along with the crazy hairy top end.

I am waiting on steve turbo to tell me he told me so...he wasn’t wrong.

John_C · 03-12-2021, 11:44 PM

I’ve been at 760rwhp on stock bottom end L99.

Removed heads a while back and everything looked good in there.

54k miles run mostly on Speedway pump e85.
