I was just looking to compare my motor to the 525hp ls3 crate. I ordered mine from SMC Performance and here are the specs they list. Its a 515hp ls3 crate. I didn't see many specs online for the 525 besides saying it has the ASA camshaft.
Engine Build Specs. Upgrades marked in red
10:7 to 1 static compression
New GM LS3 Aluminum Block
New GM LS3 Aluminum Heads, Dual Patriot Performance valve springs with titanium retainers
GM flat top pistons, with GM ring pack
New GM Performance coated main and rod bearings
New GM LS3 rods with ARP rod bolts
New GM LS3 nodular iron crankshaft (58X)
New GM high volume oil pump
New GM LS3 1.7 rocker arms
New custom ground Competition Cams camshaft. SMC Stage 2 with good idle and driveability
New GM LS7 hydraulic roller lifter
GM head bolts
5/16" Chromoly push rods
New GM LS3 C6 Corvette wet sump oil pan
New GM intake manifold assembly 42 LB. injectors
New GM LS3 Ignition coils and wires
New GM gaskets and seals
Are most of these upgrades the same as the 525hp build? Im not a motor guy and went with this setup from talking with SMC. Thanks
