Pushing the limits but those stock bottom ends can hold some power.

My buddy bought the silver c6 gs that held the sbe ls3 record. Got it, street drove it for like 3 weeks and it windowed the block while he was checking a transmission flair he thought it had. Was a sweet car, then he sold it and got a junkyard built firehawk. That way when it blows it’s cheaper to fix ha!

@cjcoleman7372

@Kelvin Mcgee well from what I've found out, is that the stock converter is known to go bad around 100K miles. So regardless of what you do to it, that needs replaced. The #'s I keep hearing range from 700-800 hp and will live happy'ish. It just depends on how hard on her you are or will be. Basically, there are no clutch dumps or down 3 gears and punch it, etc. This is also dependent on the transmission tune and how harsh the settings are. I was basically told build it for 800 hp and tune it for 700 hp.

A budget rotating assembly is alot different than a stock rotting assembly. Not all ls can easily do 1000 wheel on stock bottom end this is an internet myth. There are more that can't reliably than there are that can. Also the ones that do almost always go in and add ring gap and other tricks that help them handle boost better. You can't just throw boost one a stock engine without touching it and easily do a reliable 1000 wheel i would not consider that "safe" most of the time.
