There are a lot of options out there for that LS3. I can't wait to see what people do with theirs.

Werd. Yup, that sums it up nicely.

TheClassicCarKid · 11-26-2008, 10:50 PM

How much would that cost? Like 2500?

The LS3 is a awesome motor,and those are impressive numbers.Ive seen a Kenne-Bell supercharger for the mustang 4.6 that increase horsepower from 300-over 700 HP.I am wondering what supercharger-Turbo companies will make systems for the LS3.If it was me I would go the forced induction route.

No, you haven't. You've seen a KB + supporting mods take that engine to 700 rwhp. You can make your Kia have 700 fwhp with enough mods, so these statements meant jack.

The point is what does the engine do in full production form. Most consumers, even us tuner/modifiers, want a kick-ass paltform we can enjoy the warranty on for a few years. That is what the LS3 is all about.

fourth thread on this. The LS3 is a great engine, and I'm sure people are going to use bolt ons and destroy competition.

No doubt and the Supercharged 4.6 and 5.4 that Ford put out are just good for that as well ..

Your definitely on the right track .. however as mentioned .. you better have the supporting mods as well .. it is just that at least with the 03/04 cobras and the Gt500, the engines are "built" from the factory and ready for higher boost applications.. unfortunately this isn't so for the Ls3 .. but it does have the cubes .... tear into it put some high boost on there and you will have monster numbers ..
