Default NX proton plus kit

Hello,

I am currently at 700hp with a v3si, cam and bolt ons with a stock ls7 block. Do you guys think adding a 25-50 shot is pushing it?

You’re already pushing it at 700. I made 741 on a Mustang Dyno on my stock LS7 for a year before I went forged, but that was accepting risk. If you want to push it, I would just go forged bottom end and a bigger blower. That way, you at least get to recoup the block before you grenade it.

Plenty of people making over 800whp on the SBE LS7 with boost. It's all about the risk you're willing to take.

patriot were you at 740 on pump gas? I am running 93 octane

I will probably install it and maybe one day I will use a little 35shot but I will try to get the bottom end forged when I get extra funds

91+meth. I went forged so I could beat on it without risk of blowing the motor. I would dump in some 100 octane whenever I was going to race or do long pulls.
