Default Another LS3 getting blown


Just finished up the details with Matt at Florida Speed in Bradenton to modify my 2008 LS3 A6 car with the NPP exhaust option.
They will be installing the ECS SC1500 Supercharger kit in matte black with Siemmens 67lb injectors, ECS BAP and Tial Q blowoff valve along with the ECS dual nozzle Methanol kit and an ATI Super Damper.
While they're in there they will add a Comp cams custom grind camshaft, Chromemoly pushrods, Brian Tooley Racing Dual valvespring kit and American Racing 1 7/8" longtubes with the 3" off road x-pipe.
Horsepower estimates are 700 to 725whp.
I'm dropping the car off this Friday and can't wait to see the results!

I hear ya brother! I hope the rest of the car holds up under the 'pressure' of all this extra horsepower! She's only got 55,000 miles on her, lots of life left in her still!

Will surely be saving pennies for a pair of drag radials real soon

I wished I did the cam while they were in there. I have 710 without the cam. You will be very happy.

I will have have to rely on my trusty SL to handle my daily commute to work while the guys at Florida Speed and Power happily install the goodies in the red rocket

I installed mine at 47,xxx miles or so. Enjoy the power. I personally think if you're daily driving cam is overkill but either way boost and meth it's absolutely bonkers for a daily. Matt did the install on my ride.

I can agree with you on the cam overkill for a DD but actually neither one of those are commuter cars.

I was just dickin around and learning how to post pictures.

I depend on my trusty Ram Truck to make the treacherous 4 mile drive to work each day




I think I've got the whole picture thing figured out now

Well it's official now, car has been delivered to Florida Speed and Power for the build to begin.

Pics to follow! With a little luck it will go smoothly and I'll be picking her up real soon.

I also daily drive a Dodge truck! I hope the build goes smooth and your fuel system meets the demands of 700 +RWHP. Do you require a Stall Converter with a Blower Cam in a A5?

Normally a 2600 stall converter would be installed along with one of longer duration camshafts. Matt recommended the cam with shorter duration specs to retain driveability with stock converter and the automatic. He assured me that it will still make ton of power and have good street manners. Is your car still down there?

Yes they are held up on a few of the parts for my build as well.

I'm gettin antsy!

I wanna go fast! LOL! .. I know, I totally stole that from Talladega Nights but I just couldn't help it.

They're gonna rock it out next week! Maybe I can pick it up in time for the Funday Sunday at Orlando Speedworld on April 12th.

I'm gonna need tires! If anybody's got somethin for sale please let me know. I'm in search of the "Poor Mans Drag Pack".

Tires will be a high priority as soon as you stick your foot in it!

Well it's been a while since the last post but those pesky superchargers take time to make. But now the crew is hard at work to get another boosted rocket ready to cruise the Central Florida highways.





Up on the lift and ready for disassembly.
