Now you are making me want to stroke the LS3 I have sitting downstairs on the stand.

Can't wait to hear about how it runs.

Good question, what is another 2K plus machine work at this point? Now that I have a G8 as a daily driver, I am probably not going to be satisfied with a cammed LS3 right?

My buddies stock LS3 C6 Grand Sport just posted 499/463 on a Mustang Dyno with only an EPS Cam and full exhaust. Check the link:

That is pretty stout IMO. But hey there's always room for more power

I am looking at a similar cam for mine, but I have higher ratio lifters, so the cam itself will have less lift. I will have long tubes too and I had some cylinder wall damage with the block. I already have my 4.070 pistons so I am looking at least a hone at the machine shop. I have been thinking about stroking the engine for some time and I don't want to regret not going that route. It would greatly surpass what I need, but who doesn't like a stroker motor?

Couple pics as it's almost ready to go:

Kind of had a long laundry list of crap to fix and do. Also, to any people building one of these cars using or planning to use the stock heater. Please ditch the idea now and throw it in the garbage. It's a POS system that is bulky and doesn't work very well. I so wish I smoothed the firewall and installed a Vintage air unit.
