Thats going to be alot of power on a stock auto transmission. LS1 Tech has a dyno section that has a ton of setups with dyno numbers. Check it out.

I thought that too, so I called a few shops around dfw and a Nitrous vendor and everyone seems to think that trans can handle around 600rwhp. Sounds legit? Lol



I was thinking about a 2800 or 3200, but I want very good manners out of this car.

I checked ls1tech and there was nothing in the dyno section that showed a LS3 with nitrous.
