E Force SC **** New Upgrades****
Ok to give you a little back ground. I purchased my 09 ls3 auto z51 package bone stock early March and decided I wanted to add some hp. I wanted something reliable and nothing to wild, so I went with a Edelbrock E Force 1590 kit. When the kit was installed I had them use the 3.5" pulley and added Lg cat less headers 1 7/8, the car made 510 rwhp and 518 tq at 6-7lbs of boost on 93 pump gas. I was happy at the time and saw that many ls3's with the same set up were around 475-520rwhp. That all quickly came to an end about a week later and decided I wanted a little more getty up lol. So I started doing some research and decided on the following mods….
3" SC Pulley #15822
90mm ATI Idler Pulley #916208-76
Edelbrock upgraded belt tensioner #15034
Gatorback belt #4061030
MSD Programmable Fuel Pump Voltage Booster #2351
FIC 1000CC Injectors
E85 FUEL
HP Tuners Tune by DSMLIGHTS Forum member.
Car made 600 rwhp & 589 tq @ 10-11lbs of boost with only two degrees of timing. I need to buy a smaller belt due to the belt slipping a little but other then that I am the happiest guy around town.

Yeah we were surprised on how much power it was making and i didn't really want to push it much more. Just by getting the air fuel ratio good it brought the hp up a lot so he added 2 degrees and it hit 600rwhp i told him i was happy with that. Maybe once i get the smaller belt Ill have him add some more timing to see what it makes.

Yeah its definitely not a total of 2 degrees. He added 2 to what was already on the tune.

great setup, similar to my friend's built 402ci ls2 c6. When he started seeking more power by adding camshaft & AFR heads and 2.85" pulley,,, belt slip faced and Edelbrock recommended an upgraded idler pulley to take care of belt slipping issue.. we will see the result later.

Just got my car back last night.
E-Force 599 kit and added 3.25" pulley, LG 1-7/8" headers, high flow cats, 3" X-pipe, B&B PRT mufflers. End result is 580 rwhp at 5,850 rpm and 611 rwtq at 4,100 rpm.
