Default Best build for ls3 under 5500

Hey guys I picked up my 2008 corvette about 3 months ago and am looking to add power to the car.. I was hoping to get around 600 whp or so to the car and I have a budget of 5500 dollars was wondering what the best mods or build would be or if anyone has used parts for the build!

thanks in advance

You can do H/C/I, headers, gas and a good tune or you can find a used blower set up on here as well.

The only way you will hit 600whp for $5500 is forced induction. Call UPP in Co Springs for available kits. You will have to perform your own labor for that money, though. Good luck.

A supercharger is the only way you are getting 600rwhp for anything close to $5,500. & at that budget, you will be doing the install yourself

You almost have a budget for a supercharger.

Do yourself a favor and call CK at UPP in Co Springs as previously stated. Not saying to ignore other options. Definitely check in with CK. Good luck
