LEP custom camshaft, WCCH CNC'ed stock casting heads, Tuned and Built by Leading Edge Performance in Las Vegas NV... 940 RWHP & 916 TQ! The tune is super safe and if I didn't care about durability I know we could make over 1,000 at the wheels. I'll get E.T.s as soon as I can get the car to a prepped track. Prior to the blower instanl and on the nitrous alone the car made 239 less RWHP and has been a 9.9 @ 144 MPH. Needless to say, I'm stoked to see what it'll do now!!!!

Here's a video of the 9 second pass prior to adding the A&A kit.

Are you saying you are making 940 to the wheels on a stock block and bottom end? Those pistons and and that LS7 block with its narrow cylinder walls can't safely handle more than 700 hp to the wheels for long. I certainly hope for your sake you've got some reinforced internals.

All totally stock. It's been making 734rwhp for the last three years with multiple trips to the drag strip on the 150 shot. No issues so far. However, I know it won't live forever on both the blower and the nitrous so the bottle only comes out for track days.

Hi. What turbo kit and turbochargers do you have if you don't mind me asking? I've got a TTIX kit on its way and I have a forged 434 aluminum block as well as aftermarket LS7 style heads flowing 388 at 700, a medium sized turbo cam, aluminum intake manifold, ID 1700 injectors and custom fuel system, meth injection and E85 or VP 109 race gas waiting for it.
Wondering what I should be putting down on the Dyno.

Added the A&A kit over a year ago, I'll have to look back to figure mileage but she gets driven plenty of miles and driven hard. Only issue I had was not really related to the blower (belt squeal traced to a bent power steering bracket).

Just this year I have made five big road trips (Tail of the Dragon by way of Memphis/Nashville and Bowling Green) and drove it hard with Evan's blown GS down at the tail and quite a few of the surrounding roads. On the way home drilled two unknowing challengers (modded Mustang and a fast V10 M5).

Earlier ran down to the Three Sisters in the Hill Country, drove hard enough to fully compress the suspension on the rollers and rubbed the inner fender wells in the rear!

Also drove up to OKC for Street Car Takeover, ran high 10's, roll raced and then ran all night in Mexico.

Another trip to Iowa for a funeral and the long way home using two lanes by way of Branson/Eureka Springs and then down the pigtail route.

And finally a bonsai run through Arkansas back roads along with five Dallas area Vettes (the slowest being a stock ZR1!) and hosted by some fast locals in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.

Along with the road trips she has seen consistent weekend action on the street, the 1/8 and 1/4 mile plus a roll race (Runway Rivalry), plenty of date nights and last weekend at WannaGOFAST I ran 170mph and backed it up at the standing half mile.

The unopened long block has nearly 80k on it!

2010 GS MN6
QMS tune and installs
A&A V3si w/3.8 pulley (9.5psi)
cam/headers/x pipe/factory NPP for long highway drives
Alky Control dual nozzle meth
702/617

10.70@135 (best MPH 136)
7.000@108 1/8th
170 standing 1/2 mile

BIG thanks and props to Patrick and the guys at Quality Motor Sports!!!

Default Made it 19K before my first real issue

Format for post:
- Type of forced induction: ECS Novi 1500 no restrictor
- PSI of boost you're running: 15PSI
- RWHP/ RWTQ: 680/650
- What engine? LS3 Stock bottom end
- Miles on the car at install: 38,000
- Miles on the car now: 57,000
- If the engine was hurt, what failed? At 57K the head gasket blew at the track when I had detonation in the #3 and #5 cylinder. No other engine damage.
- Type of fuel (93 pump, meth, race gas etc.) 93 with one 32oz can of Torco, single meth injection.
- Transmission:A6 Century built
- Mod list (Won't be listed, but users can see individual posts) ECS Novi 1500 no restrictor, Alky Control Meth injection, Kooks LT headers and x pipe, RPM 342 rear.

After the blown head gasket I went to ARP head studs and a LS9 head gasket. I also did the Comp Cams Trunnion upgrade. The heads had to be milled .003 and the valves were recut to clean them up. The piston tops had a lot of carbon on them so they were cleaned up and looked good no damage.

- How do you use your car? I drive the car hard on weekends and occasionally to work. I just went back to the track for the first time in several years and that is when the head gasket blew after detonation occurred in the #3 and #5 cylinder. I did run a PB of 10.4 but it was not a good pass. The car is back together and running this week. I have yet to go past 8 lbs of boost but that will change on the next nice day and I will do some data logging.

E85 is magical and the meth is keeping IATs down, otherwise that stock bottom end would be all over the pavement LOL. Best of luck!
