700+hp LS3
Hey, I'm wanting to get my 13 GS to 700+whp. It has a set of TSP 1.78" long tubes with no cats going on next week. I was looking at the A&A kit but also the ECS kit. What will I need to get to my hp goal, and which kit do you guys like personally? Not to worried if the motor doesn't last super long, I will build the motor then up the boost when it does give out. Thanks for the help.

Your motor will live quite a while with a good tune at 700-750rwhp. If running 91/93 pump gas you will need methanol. Alky Control kit is what I use and most recommend. Either a T trim A&A kit or an ECS1500 kit will get you there. Not sure if you will be able to do it without a cam though. I run a T trim with a small cam and I'm at 719rwhp in Arizona heat.

Call ECS. They make it painless and idiot proof.

I meant that I'm going to run the meth to where if it ran low it won't blow up in one second. I know I need alot of meth which I will run alot but just dont want a tune to where it blows up in a second if it ran out.

Just set the meth up correctly and the car will do it for you. It is simple.
That being said, plenty of people make 700+ without meth. I wouldn't say it is needed. It is a great way to keep power up, and great safety feature but 700rwhp has been done time and time again with no meth. Friends auto car has been making 700+ for the past 15k miles here in hot AZ with crap gas on just normal 91. My car made 860rwhp no meth and had more than enough timing to not hurt anything.

I make 719rwhp on E85 and meth in Arizona. What do you think I would make on 91 with no meth? Damn sure not over 700. 93 octane would obviously help along with better air.
My T-trim is pullied 3.125/7.5, which puts me at max impeller speed at 6500rpm engine speed. At 7000rpm it's 10% past max impeller speed. Cam specs in sig.

Blake Brownlee, who has a 2010 Camaro down in your neck of the woods getting a TT kit installed, made 825rwhp on 91 octane and no methanol with a YSI at 15psi on a LS3.
Don't tell me what's not possible.

Combinations to 700+ rwhp include the ECS SC kit (Or A&A), Alky Control Meth Kit, Good Fuel System, and Blower Cam/Springs. These hold together quite well in the LS3's, we have numerous ones in the 700+ rwhp range that are driven hard and a lot.
