Very cool. Not bad for a conservative tune. (Those pesky emissions play a big role in how much fun we can have, legally speaking.)
Steve, how well do you think the MagnaCharger will respond to your LS2 compared to the LS3? As demonstrated above, it responds pretty well to a stock LS3. What numbers do you expcet to see if you decide to go with the supercharger? Thanks!

Sweeeeeeet...... The stance looks perfect, the supercharger looks wicked and the brakes look killer!

What do I care.. they are your tires...

I need to find out the compression on the stock LS3 engine.. I've read 10.7:1 and 10.9:1

Every time I see that car in person, I start to like it more and more. I think lowering it really helps.

Steve, I think I'm even liking it enough to have wished I'd taken you up on your offer to race for pink slips yesterday . I don't think my little Mustang will have a chance when your clutch isn't burning up. I'd have felt bad for Yancy though...

Hell, then I would have rolled into it softer and took you on the top end.. lol

I swear I heard the clutch cry out for its mother...

Blowing a clutch is a good day in any mans life.

Right now I'm 488 rwhp and 474 rwtq.. I also have 11.1:1 compression (need to recheck my math on that)

So we would run something like 5 lbs.. boost is a function of restriction so I'm not sure what I would get in my free-flowing 402 LS2...

I would also be tempted to put on a set of ported LS3 heads so I could run the LS3 Magna and not the cathedral port style. It's all so tempting since the 2010 SS is so dang drivable.

Then again, why the heck do I need a blower..

Anyways, taking the 2010 to John Force's cruise night.. see ya!
