I have just noticed ATK have all-forged 415CI LS3 for 1.5k cheaper than B15/TMS408.

Does it look like a good pick?

I meant the stress on the engine is closer to 1000 crank when it has 900 at the fly-wheel because it spends ~100 to spin the blower.

Isn't it closer to 1000 because the blower takes some power to spin itself?


900x0.85 = 765, so it's only for the tranny losses accounted.


I've been thinking of B8 but from what I read here...

Btw, what about additional front weight added by the TT kit? This is likely to increase front grip and reduce understeer, isn't it?

Does the 32mm rear sway bar require a squared setup?
What happens if you have 255s up front and 285s in the rear but set that sway bar to medium or hard setting? Won't it make the car oversteer?

Did you guys tune for meth when installing it with a base AGP kit (600-650 whp) or just used it for cooling/safety without tuning?
