LS3 525HP crate engine
I had heard of a LS3 480HP crate engine, and then just saw this one http://paceperformance.com/i-7739382...-shipping.html
What do you think about this in a C5 with a 6 speed?
Would it make enough vacuum to run the brake booster, would it idle horrible?
I'm sure it still would lose to a C6Z06, but it might be fun!

Don't really know the answers to your questions, but it sounds like a very nice engine and one that would surely make the C5 run a lot quicker.
