Who has built a LS3 with a Blower?
To All:
Who all has built, or knows someone who has built a LS3 with a Supercharger?
Can you tell me/us what parts they used, how large it was, type of blower, amount of boost etc?
and,
What kind of power did it make and what rpm?
Primarily interested in pump gas examples.
From what I have read, for the money, these engines are the ones to go with for a pump gas, boosted configuration.
I have been told a 416 ci is about as big you would want to go with that block. I'm not sure how far down to go down with the standard compression to make the most efficient/most HP/Most Torque, and how much Boost you could run with an inter-cooler? (Thinking about 8 psi cr, and 8-12 psi of boost if it will work properly at that level.)
I'm leaning towards the Large Eaton/Magna-Charger with the air to water inter-cooler, in large part due to the broad power band it helps develop, and it appears to be very durable for extended service.
With the new vette making 620 hp and having to meet emissions codes, I would think making 700+ hp should be fairly easy.
Does anyone have a feel how much durable hp this engine would be capable making with all forged bottom end, CNC Heads, very high quality valves, springs, retainers etc. and a really well thought out Cam Shaft, and EFI.
Any information would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Ty
